Anyway, I don't think Aegon is a fraud in the books, but I have a feeling that the people of the Seven Kingdoms aren't going to bother with him. When (if) Dany makes it across the sea and she still has her dragons at her command, they will be the only reason the people pay any attention to her. These are outsiders to them and unless they truly come to conquer it will be a folly.

As for the Valyrian steel, it is my understanding that the steel itself was smelted using the fire of a dragon. On the magical side of things, that can imbue some serious fire mojo. On the less fantastical side of things, if you are smelting your ore at such a temperature and then it is rapidly cooled, it could (we're talking fantasy mixed with real world here people, it doesn't have to make sense) form obsidian structures within the steel. Just a couple of thoughts there.

Mostly book 5 right now and some made up stuff.

Aegon may be the real deal if there needs to be the three headed dragon (Dany, Jon, Aegon), so maybe we see him later? Or maybe they just ignore that?

As for Valyrian steel, whether or not it has similar characteristics to dragonbone (since some have guessed that in the books), it can kill white walkers. This might put some importance in getting the two swords that Ice was destroyed to make into this fight.
