That’s the closest anyone is going to get. Connected to ice and fire? Jon’s parents are Rhaegar Targaryen (fire) and Lyanna Stark (ice).Descended from Aerys II? He’s the legitimate son of Aerys’s son, Rhaegar.Sacrificed a loved one to create a powerful weapon? He saw Ygritte die, but he didn’t kill her himself.Although if you consider the fact that he’s a secret Targaryen, Jon himself could be the dragon. Born amid smoke and salt? In the books, Jon’s wounds steam when he is stabbed in Castle Black.Ser Patrick’s sigil is a blue star, but it does get pretty bloody. Appeared when the red star bleeds? In the books, Jon’s assassination is spurred by the death of one of Stannis’s knights.Connected to ice and fire? Fire is the obvious one, and now that the Night King controls Viserion, we’ve got an ice connection.Descended from Aerys II? Yes, she’s his trueborn daughter.Now she has three fire-breathing dragons. Sacrificed a loved one to create a powerful weapon? She euthanized Drogo, then stepped into his funeral pyre with the dragon eggs.Woke dragons out of stone? Yup! Her dragon eggs were thought to be mere baubles, until she, you know, hatched dragons out of them.She was reborn as the Mother of Dragons on Drogo’s funeral pyre, so there’s the smoke. Born amid smoke and salt? She was born on an island in the middle of a powerful storm, so there’s the salt.Appeared when the red star bleeds? In both books and show, shortly after the dragons were born, a red comet appeared in the sky.Since the word prince has no gender in ancient Valyrian, the Prince That Was Promised doesn’t have to be a man.In one of Daenerys Targaryen’s visions, her brother Rhaegar says that the song of the Prince That Was Promised will be “the song of ice and fire.” Hey, that’s the name of the books!.According to a woods witch, the Prince That Was Promised will descend from the Mad King Aerys II and his sister-wife Rhaella Targaryen.It’s safe to assume the new sword will require a similar sacrifice. Finally, the new Azor Ahai will reforge the great flaming sword Lightbringer, which the original Azor Ahai made by plunging the blade into the heart of his beloved wife, Nissa Nissa.He or she will “wake dragons out of stone.”.Azor Ahai will be born or reborn “amid smoke and salt,” as you may recall from this scene.According to prophecy, Azor Ahai will appear “when the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers.” The first bit is likely a reference to the comet that appeared in A Clash of Kings (though there are other interpretations) and the second seems to be a reference to the Long Night.Martin’s books since they’re slightly more comprehensive, and thus more fun to talk about. Note: We’re using the details laid out in George R.R. Here’s everything you need to know about all the major candidates.
Both figures have been the subject of a bunch of prophecies about how they’ll reappear, and fans have spent hours debating which character will turn out to embody these mythical heroes.
The Prince That (or Who) Was Promised is also a messianic figure, whom people in Essos believe will similarly save the day. We finally learned the truth about Jon Snow’s trueborn parentage in the show’s season-seven finale, “ The Dragon and the Wolf,” so now it’s time to consider another line of questioning: Who is Azor Ahai? Who is the Prince That Was Promised? And will they be the same person?Īs a quick refresher, Azor Ahai is a legendary warrior who ended the Long Night the first time it came around, and followers of the Lord of Light believe he will return to save the world from darkness again. Are any of these people the reincarnation of a mythical hero?Įvery time Game of Thrones closes one set of fan theories, it opens another.
