What makes Valyrian steel unique?

Forged in the ancient Valyrian Freehold with dragonfire and spells, Valyrian steel is exceptionally light, razor-sharp, never requires sharpening, and displays distinctive rippling smoky patterns. It is one of the few materials capable of shattering White Walkers.

What are the official words (motto) of House Lannister?

The official motto of House Lannister is 'Hear Me Roar!'. The famous phrase 'A Lannister always pays his debts' is a common colloquial saying, not their official ancestral words.
