'''Dragonbinder''',{{ref|ADWD|63}} also called the '''hellhorn''',{{ref|ADWD|26}} is a large [[dragon horn]] with [[Valyria]]n glyphs written upon it.{{Ref|AFFC|19}}{{ref|ADWD|63}}

==Description==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Dragonbinder|l1=Images of Dragonbinder}}
The horn is six feet (1.83 meters) long. It is made from the horn of what must have been an enormous [[dragon]]. It has a black gleam, and is banded with red [[gold]] and [[Valyrian steel]]. When touched, the horn feels warm and smooth. Its surface is shiny and reflective, though the reflection depicted is somehow twisted. The bands of the horn are covered by strange writings, Valyrian glyphs. When the horn sounds, the glyphs glow red-hot, and then white-hot.{{Ref|aDwD|63}}

When the [[ironborn]] gather to elect a new [[King of the Isles and the North]] at the [[kingsmoot]] on [[Old Wyk]], [[Euron Greyjoy]] displays Dragonbinder, a dragon horn. Euron claims to have sailed the [[Smoking Sea]], and found it amongst the smoking ruins that were [[Valyria]].{{ref|ADWD|10}} However, according to a semi-canon source, Euron took the horn from four [[warlocks]] from [[Qarth]], whose ship he seized when they went in search of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] after the destruction of their [[House of the Undying]].{{ref|AWOIAF| Qarth}}

The horn's noise silences all at the kingsmoot, and ends the possible fight between the supporters of Euron's brother, [[Victarion Greyjoy|Victarion]], and his niece, [[Asha Greyjoy]].{{ref|ADWD|19}} The horn's noise sounds like the screaming of a thousand souls, and it seems to listeners as if their very bones are aflame and searing their flesh from within.{{Ref|aDwD|63}} [[Cragorn]], the man who blows the horn for Euron, collapses with blisters on his lips, and the [[tattoo]] he has of a bird on his chest is bleeding.{{ref|AFFC|19}}

Euron wins the kingsmoot by promising the ironmen that they will conquer [[Westeros]] with [[dragon]]s. When Asha argues that there are no more dragons, Euron tells her that there are three, and he knows where to find them. He does not mention that the dragons belong to Daenerys.{{ref|AFFC|19}}

Later, Euron tells Victarion that Cragorn died. Euron says that when a [[maester]] cut him open to examine the cause of death, it was discovered his lungs were charred black as soot.{{Ref|aFfC|29}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
At [[Deepwood Motte]], Asha reflects that on [[Old Wyk]], her uncle's hellhorn had blown a death knell for her dreams.{{Ref|aDwD|26}}

Euron sends Victarion to [[Meereen]] to bring [[Daenerys Targaryen]] back to him, and gives Victarion the horn. Victarion has the horn with him aboard the ''[[Iron Victory]]''. According to [[Moqorro]], a [[red priest]], the Valyrian glyphs on the horn read, "I am Dragonbinder ... No mortal man shall sound me and live ... Blood for fire, fire for blood."{{Ref|aDwD|63}}

Moqorro says whoever blows the horn will die, but any dragons that hear will obey the horn's master. The red priest says Victarion must be made the horn's master, and he must claim the horn with blood.{{Ref|aDwD|63}}

===''The Winds of Winter''===
{{Warning/twow}}
When Victarion and the [[Iron Fleet]] arrive at [[Slaver's Bay]], Victarion still has the horn with him in his cabin.<ref>''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Victarion I (The Winds of Winter)|Victarion I]]</ref> Some of the Iron Fleet arrives at the bay of [[Meereen]], just as the [[second siege of Meereen]] is about to resume.<ref>''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Tyrion II (The Winds of Winter)|Tyrion II]]</ref>

==Quotes==
{{Quote|Bright and baneful was its voice, a shivering hot scream that made a man's bones seem to '''thrum''' within him ... It is the horn of hell.{{Ref|AFFC|19}}|thoughts of [[Aeron Greyjoy]]}}

{{Quote|That horn you heard I found amongst the smoking ruins that were [[Valyria]], where no man has dared to walk but me.  You heard its call, and felt its power. It is a [[dragon horn]], bound with bands of red gold and [[Valyrian steel]] graven with enchantments. The [[dragonlords]] of old sounded such horns, before [[Doom of Valyria|the Doom]] devoured them. With this horn, [[ironmen]], I can bind dragons to my will.{{Ref|AFFC|19}}|Euron at the [[kingsmoot]]}}
