==Quotes== [[File:Stannis-Baratheon-MCaradonna.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Stannis Baratheon]] by Marco Caradonna Β© FFG]] {{quote|In ancient books of [[Asshai]] it is written that there will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be [[Azor Ahai]] come again, and the darkness shall flee before him. Azor Ahai, beloved of [[R'hllor]]! The Warrior of Light, the Son of Fire! Come forth, your sword awaits you! Come forth and take it into your hand!{{ref|ACOK|10}}|[[Melisandre]] to [[Stannis Baratheon]]}} {{quote|Be glad that it is just a burnt sword that [[Stannis Baratheon|His Grace]] pulled from that fire. Too much light can hurt the eyes, my friend, and fire burns.{{ref|ACOK|10}}|[[Salladhor Saan]] to [[Davos Seaworth]]}} {{quote|Are you afraid I'll piss on your burning sword and put it out?{{ref|ACOK|42}}|[[Cortnay Penrose]] to [[Stannis Baratheon]]}} {{quote|[[Melisandre]] swears that she has seen me in her flames, facing the dark with Lightbringer raised on high. Lightbringer! It glimmers prettily, I'll grant you, but on the [[Blackwater Rush|Blackwater]] this magic sword served me no better than any common steel. A [[dragon]] would have turned [[Battle of the Blackwater|that battle]].{{ref|ASOS|54}}|[[Stannis Baratheon]] to [[Davos Seaworth]]}} {{quote|'''Samwell''': It glows. As if it were on fire. There are no flames, but the steel is yellow and red and orange, all flashing and glimmering, like sunshine on water, but prettier. I wish you could see it, Maester.<br> '''Aemon''': I see it now, Sam. A sword full of sunlight. So lovely to behold.{{ref|ASOS|75}}|[[Samwell Tarly]] and [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]]}} {{Quote|The sword is wrong, [[Melisandre|she]] has to know that ... light without heat ... an empty [[glamor]] ... the sword is wrong, and the false light can only lead us deeper into darkness.{{ref|AFFC|35}}|[[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] to [[Samwell Tarly]]}} {{quote|[[Westeros]] has but one king. With this sword I defend my subjects and destroy those who menace them. Bend the knee, and I promise you food, land, and justice. Kneel and live. Or go and die. The choice is yours.{{ref|ADWD|10}}|[[Stannis Baratheon]] to the [[free folk]]}} {{quote|'''Clydas''': A sword that makes its own heat ...<br> '''Jon''': ... would be a fine thing on the [[Wall]]. A pity that the sword that [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] wields is cold. I'll be curious to see how his Lightbringer behaves in battle.{{ref|ADWD|10}}|[[Clydas]] and [[Jon Snow]]}}
