Qual é a ferramenta de garfo longo que os meistres possuem em Game of Thrones?

TL; DR: É apenas uma ferramenta de inspeção usada para que o examinador não precise tocar no paciente para não contrair a doença; nesse caso, é a escala de cinzas que é transmitida pelo toque e altamente contagiosa.

Parece que você está se referindo a essa ferramenta que vemos o Archmaester Ebrose usar primeiro quando ele faz uma inspeção inicial da escala de cinza de Jorah e depois depois que Sam o curou.

Para ser franco, a ferramenta é simplesmente uma vareta de metal com uma ponta pontiaguda; uma ferramenta médica usada para examinar os pacientes, para que o meistre não precise tocá-los. Por que eles não os tocavam? Bem, como eu tenho certeza de que você se lembra da escala de cinza, é incrivelmente infecciosa e, uma vez que alguém contrai, é quase certo que ela morra com isso, na verdade, Jorah o contratou por um toque de um dos homens de pedra.

Priestess: (Valyrian) The Lord of Light hears your voice. He hears the king as he hears the slave; he hears the Stone Men in their misery...

Tyrion: Stone men. Good luck stopping this spread of grayscale with prayer. You'd have better luck dancing away the plague.

ARCHMAESTER EBROSE, SAMWELL and JORAH are standing together in the quarantine room. JORAH's upper body is covered in Greyscale except his face.

Ebrose: The infection has spread too far. You should have cut off your arm the moment you were touched.

Jorah: How long?

Ebrose: It will be years before it kills you. It could be 10, could be 20.

Jorah: But how long 'till...

Ebrose: Your mind? Six months, maybe fewer.

JORAH sighs and sits down on his bed. SAMWELL approaches EBROSE.

Sam: Pardon, Archmaester. I met Stannis Baratheon's daughter at Castle Black. She had Greyscale as a baby and was cured. Isn't there some way --

Ebrose: Does this look like a baby to you?

Sam: No.

Ebrose: Have you studied the varying rates of Greyscale progression in infants and fully grown men?

Sam: No.

Ebrose: Maester Chrissen discovered Shireen Baratheon's affliction immediately.

EBROSE turns to face JORAH.

Ebrose: This is quite advanced and beyond our skills, Ser.

Jorah: I surrendered to this sickness the moment I first saw it. I knew it would kill me or I'd kill myself before it could. Daenerys Stormborn convinced me otherwise. The only place for me is with her.

De fato, houve apenas casos registrados de 2 em escala de cinza avançada sendo curados, com outros exemplos de formas anteriores sendo curadas, como a de Shireen Baratheon.

Stannis: When you were an infant, the Dornish trailer landed on Dragonstone. His goods were junk except for one wooden doll. He'd even sewn a dress on it in the colors of our House. No doubt he'd heard of your birth, and assumed new fathers were easy targets. I still remember how you smiled when I put that doll in your cradle, and you pressed it to your cheek. By the time we burnt the doll, it was too late. I was told you would die. Or worse, the grayscale would go slow.Let you grow just enough to know the world before taking it away from you. Everyone advised me to send you to the ruins of Valyria to live out your short life with the Stone men, before the sickness spread to the castle. I told them all to go to hell. I called in every maester on this side of the world. Every healer, every apothecary. They stopped the disease and saved your life. Because you did not belong across the world with the bloody Stone men. You are the Princess Shireen of House Baratheon. And you are my daughter.

Sam: I may have found a way to treat Ser Jorah. There are two recorded cases of advanced Greyscale being cured. I found the procedure in the Study of Rare Diseases by Archmaester Pilos.

EBROSE places a book on SAMWELL's stack. He continues looking at more books.

Ebrose: I'm familiar with Archmaester Pylos and the Study of Rare Diseases.

Sam: Oh, you are?

Ebrose: Yes. Should I tell you how he died? From Greyscale.

EBROSE places another book on SAMWELL's stack.

Sam: Oh.

Ebrose: The procedure is far too dangerous which is why it's now forbidden.
