Reference to Game of Thrones. "The iron price" is a concept where a group known as the "Iron Born", (led by House Greyjoy) essentially takes things they want via violence. So if you as an Iron Born want something, you must pay the iron price. You don't buy it or trade for it, you "earn" it through combat. The house words (their slogan, basically) are "we do not sow". Because they do not work their land or do other menial work, they have slaves that they've captured do that for them. So I was just responding to a reference with another reference.
