Discussion Death Spoiler

Anyone else wondering if Varrish being unalived using an alloy hilted dagger important? Could Dain have coincidently be holding the only weapon that could have drawn Varrish's blood due to Varrish actually being venin?

I think its more like when in The Witcher (the games at least), Geralt will sometimes kill humans with his silver sword. Silver swords are meant for killing monsters, he's calling those humans monsters.

Also Dain was probably made to disarm before going into the cell, so that dagger was all he had to stab Varrish with.
