Let us not tunnelvision on the Cold Iron right now? We've got
commitments and we don't even
have an order of monster hunters that we could equip the Cold Iron to, and won't have them ready by the time we're assaulting Tyrosh... which we will need the regular iron for, and all the more that we can get, given that we aren't
just equipping our Legion, but also the Night's Watch.
You are trying to get Cold Iron the Xorn haven't even traded for yet, nor can commit to acquiring without a guarantee that we will deliver goods in exchange, all for weapons to equip to a group of elites that...
we don't have.
@Duesal,
@Fehu, another thing to note. He pledged to deliver a third of the iron we need
immediately. The larger proportion involved in the deal, the more we get to work with for our
voracious needs.
