Is there any way to obtain Valyrian weapons other than inheritance? There is a baroness in the Stormlands that is last of her line and she has that sword, but each time I marry her to my heir she creates a new courtier for matrilineal marriage. I don't want to try getting swords of others because they either have too big dynasties or don't want to accept marriage offers.

Female rulers tend to marry matrilineally and if they are married to courtiers, they divorce them and marry matrilinealy. It is good way to preserve dynasties of female rulers (because in vanilla, female rulers are end to dynasty due to stupid AI, which is able to marry Byzantine empress to lowborn inbred Muslim courtier with gonorrhea), but sometimes it causes owners of counties and baronies married to heirs of great realms to divorce them, because they are only courtiers and courtiers must be married matrilinealy to rulers.
If you want marriage with her, find a quick way to die, so your son inherits and can marry her without immediate divorce (or just wait until you get ambition to obtain Valyrian sword and wait for event).

Three way I know of.

1) take the ambition to get a sword and hope luck is on your side.
2) if you are the DIRECT liege of someone who dies without anyone to pass a sword on to you can possibly inherit it.
3) steal a sword while raiding.

The last seems to be among the most reliable as I frequently see pics of Ironborn rulers with a veritable armory of valyrian steel weapons.
 
I tend to raid a lot of swords as ironborn.

Shame I'm playing a Stormlander Dondarrion. :p

Thanks, that worked.

Now I have a new problem with it in different game. I want to marry my ruler to countess of Tudbury Hall, but she divorces instantly despite of both of us being landed.

Its cause she is a strong independent woman who don't need no man

No idea. It could be bug or you aren´t considered to be high enough to marry her that way (unless you are duke or higher, in that case there is no reason for game to divorce you). One way to get her titles is to marry her younger sister, who will certainly stay married to you, make her a kid and then use combination of plots and intrigue focus to exterminate anyone higher in line of succession (I did that as Littlefinger...managed to kill Ned, marry Cat and kill Hoster and Edmure, so she inherited Riverlands...but before that, we already had kids, so she didn´t divorce me). I also guess that game doesn´t divorce you if you stay married to her for some time, even without kids. It does that just at the beginning of marriage.

Also, just one small thing: When marrying for inheritance, switch to seduction focus and seduce your wife. Yes, it is absolutely unnecessary, because you already have her and you may have kids too...but it is not about her during her life, but about you after she dies. When your lover dies, you get many options, most of them with 90% chance of becoming depressed and being allowed to commit suicide. Yes, it may be bad to leave your character with long reign and all kinds of good stuff for your kid, who may be really crappy, but you will prevent him from being controlled by stupid AI after he inherits his mother´s lands. And you will immediately have character with bigger land.

Oh, one more thing: During megawars, everyone becomes independent...so when your wife dies, your heir won´t inherit, but it will go to your other kid (or vice versa, your heir will be disinherited from your lands and will get only hers, while your other kid will be your new heir). This is due to external inheritance laws...which make no sense in megawars, but creators of this mod had to work with CK2 mechanics that weren´t built for megawars. So, if your character dies and your second kid will inherit instead of first one (or your wife or whatever), just use console to fix it by giving your real heir lands he should own and switch to him.

That seemed to be the problem, my character was only a count. One more question: what are the requirements to choose the "obtain valyrian sword" focus?

Unless I'm reading it wrong, adult, not a prisoner, and any of ambitious, envious, greedy, or proud. And you can't own one already. Honestly, I've always had it available to me; its kind of hard to find someone I want to play who doesn't already fit the bill.
