You are iron. You are steel.

It was cheap and plentiful. But nobody knew how to make it into profitable steel.

There are three living smiths who know how to rework Valyrian steel.

And in the 1980s, America's steel industry simply collapsed, costing over 300,000 jobs.

Where did you get this much Valyrian steel? From someone who no longer had need of it.

It was an enormous risk. Steel was traditionally made from iron ore, and scrap was a fringe ingredient.

So these mountains of junk are actually raw materials. And they're so important that this scrap yard was built right here to feed that steel mill.

What's this do, spin? Yep. At 3400 RPM. It can cut through steel like it was rubber. Neat. Good work.
