![]() The other significant moment is when Melissandre says both Daenerys and Jon Snow may factor in. "I believe you have a role to play," Melisandre says. This was stated by Aemon in the books, and now ithard confirmed, which means Dany very much in the running and just become the most likely candidate. For one, Missandei corrected Melissandre's translation - the High Valeryian word in the prophecy is gender neutral, meaning it can be read as the Prince or Princess that was promised. This is where last night's big meet up between Dany and Melissandre offered a couple game-changing insights to the theory. There's a lot of debate as to whether that means Azor Ahai himself will be reincarnated, or if it just means a new leader will be born to save the human race, or possibly both, which means that though the term Azor Ahai and Prince Who Was Promised are sometimes used interchangeably, they may actually be two different people. ![]() Legend has it that Azor Ahai became the savior of the Seven Kingdoms and led mankind to vanquish the Great Others by forging a flaming hero's sword called Lightbringer, and in order to unleash the weapon's full power, he had to plunge it through the heart of his beloved wife. Prophecy states that another Long Night is coming and with it, Azor Ahai will be reborn to battle the forces of darkness again once again. Thousands of years ago, The Great Others (Imagine White Walkers riding giant dead spiders) ravaged the realm until the legendary warrior Azor Ahai laid waste to their forces and saved the world from eternal winter. Who is Azor Ahai? Let's do a quick recap. ![]() So did last night's reveals further cement that theory, or make things even more complicated? Well, a little bit of both. Fans have been speculating on the identity of the prophesied savior for years, indeed, it's one of the longest-running and most debated theories in the fandom, and the Mother of Dragons has long been considered the strongest contender. Be aware this post has spoilers through A Dance with Dragons and 'Stormborn'.Įuron's big surprise attack may have left Dany's fleet in flames, but Game of Thrones dropped some even bigger bombs in " Stormborn" when Melissandre made her way to Dragonstone and we learned some key new information about the prophecy of Azor Ahai.
