Black Walls

The Black Walls of Volantis.

"As is well-known, the dragonlords of Valyria could turn stone to liquid with dragonflame and shape it as they wished."
Pycelle[src]

Dragonstone,[1] or Valyrian stone,[2] is a construction material used in Valyrian architecture. It was made by turning stone to liquid with dragonflame and reshaping it. The castle of Dragonstone and the Black Walls of Volantis are made of dragonstone. Some maesters believe that the black stone fortress at the base of the Hightower is also made of dragonstone, but it is curiously plain and unadorned and predates the Valyrians by many thousands of years.[3]

History[]

Game of Thrones: Season 2[]

Xaro Xhoan Daxos tells Daenerys that the walls and door of his vault are made of Valyrian stone.[2]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, additional structures made of dragonstone include the dragon roads, the inner walls of Tyrosh, and a ruined Valyrian fort on Naath.
