Meera's Sword=VS Dark Sister?
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 5:19 am
Meera had no sword when Team Bran entered the Three-Eyed Raven's cave—only the dragon-glass enhanced weapons that Sam gave her at the Nightfort. When the WWs broke in, she grabbed one near the entrance.
We see it clearly at Benjen's campsite, and she still has it when they arrive at Castle Black:

During the cave battle, she killed a WW with her Sam-enhanced dragonglass spear and may not have used the sword.
In the books,* the 3ER was Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers/Targaryen. He was the last-known wielder of the VS sword Dark Sister, which originally belonged to one of Aegon I's sister-wives and was believed lost during the Blackfyre Rebellion.
As Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, he disappeared beyond The Wall and joined the CotF. The Children did not use steel weapons, and it is highly unlikely that anyone else visited the cave before Team Bran.
So Meera's sword MUST be Dark Sister. Otherwise, why would D&D film this plot thread? To me, this seems a *perfect* setup foreshadowing that Meera and Howland Reed will return in S8. Besides Meera'/Dark Sister's new-found powers, HR may have some v-e-r-y interesting information about what really happened at the Tower of Joy.
*I have not read the books, so please correct me if I'm wrong!
