That being said, it certainly ties well with GRRM’s world and original storyline, as well as what’s been happening in the last couple of seasons. Look, it’s a stretch because it’s so so detailed – can we even predict all of these occurrences? And they kind of all have to happen the way the theory plays out. The prophecy of Azor Ahai has been fulfilled, with Lightbringer arriving to stop the darkness, but it has also created the very problem it was designed to save the world from. It doesn’t just kill her, it transforms her into something else, something…Other. But the magic of the Valyrian steel, combined with Daenerys’ internal fire, has a side effect. The sword emerges from her chest coated in flames, as Jon brings back Lightbringer through sacrificing his true love. This could totally happen – Brienne was fighting for the North, Jaime is totally in a place where he could switch allegiances after fighting alongside these folks in the battle against the dead…įace-to-face with the woman he loves, Jon finds he cannot behead Daenerys. So this would be those swords coming together to be turned back into Ned’s sword – the name of which was Ice. This bit confused me a little so let me recap for you – way back, Ned’s sword was melted down and reforged into two swords. That would make it the third iteration of this sword. It could be crafted with Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wail, if Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister return the swords (or if they die)-or Longclaw could be included, to substitute one of them. Luckily for Jon, he’s recently been given a gift. If this is how the finale goes, it would also play really nicely into Season 1 Episode 1, where Ned had to behead a traitor in front of his kids. If Dany is defeated in war against Jon and his supporters, she’ll be sentenced to die for treason – as is the Westeros way. Here’s where the Azor Ahai prophecy comes into play. ![]() Most of her armies were decimated at Winterfell, she doesn’t have nearly enough support in Westeros to rebuild, and Jon has earned the respect of one of her dragons. It’s possible that we could see Daenerys turn against Jon, only to have most of Westeros throw their support and armies behind him, instead of her. Let's Unpick Where Were At With The Super Popular 'Evil Daenerys' Theory That’s true, but there’s another way of seeing it: The visions were tempting Daenerys with everything she wanted, including life after death for the people she truly cares about. We originally took this to mean that Daenerys was seeing the threat of the Night King and his undead army, promising doom if she ignored it. But the theory Gizmodo are really into – and the one I feel has the most legs here – is that it’s Jon… but Daenerys will be a key player in how it all comes about.īasically – remember how Daenerys had that wild vision at the House of Undying in season 2? She saw Khal Drogo and her deceased baby in a freezing landscape, and the Red Keep destroyed while snow fell upon it. Then there’s swirling rumours it’s Daenerys, or even Arya Stark since she killed the Night King. People mused for a long time that Azor Ahai was Jon Snow, because he died and rose again (as Ahai). ![]() This will come into play later, so don’t forget. Eastern on HBO.So this old hero rose up to fight the darkness using a fire sword, that was created because he sacrificed someone he loved. This is a pretty dark note to end on, but for a show made famous by killing off everyone’s favorite characters with no warning, it’s probably best to hedge our expectations ahead of the final episodes of Game of Thrones Season 8. Maybe Cersei will win and all our faves will die. Maybe there was no Azor Ahai/Prince That Was Promised. ![]() As a bonus, this theory also turns Melisandre into a human version of Azor Ahai’s flaming sword, which is pretty damn cool if you ask me. What if there’s no one single Azor Ahai? What if, instead, everyone at the Great Battle of Winterfell was the Prince That Was Promised? Together, all our favorite characters (except Bronn) came together to defeat the Night King. You might think this is setting up King Robert’s only living son to claim the Iron Throne, but what if he’s actually destined for something even greater? Gendry’s connection to the Azor Ahai prophecy isn’t the strongest, but he does have one big thing in common with the legendary hero: They’re both very skilled at making weapons. Gendry Baratheon Is Azor AhaiĪ bastard no more, Gendry is officially a Lord of House Baratheon after Daenerys made it so in Season 8, Episode 4.
