5/28/2023 0 Comments Legend of azor ahaiDaenerys Targaryenĭaenerys was born at Dragonstone, a volcanic island surrounded by a salt water sea. His attempt to free the dragons from the lair without being burned alive is also evidence that he might be of Targaryen blood. Tyrion’s bravery at Blackwater, the killing of his father and his love, Shae, mirrors Azor Ahai’s attempt to forge his sword. Given the Mad King’s reputation and his infatuation with Joanna Lannister, it’s possible he either seduced or raped Tywin’s wife and impregnated her with Tyrion. However, some fans insist that he might be Targaryen after all. Tyrion’s first problem with the prophecy is that he is not Targaryen. Whether or not he is “The Prince That Was Promised,” Gendry might be instrumental in the forging of the Lightbringer for whoever Azor Ahai happens to be. Some fan theories suggest that he is a descendant of Rhaelle Targaryen and Ormund Baratheon, which means that he has Targaryen blood. As far as the story goes, we are yet seen him transform in any significant way that fits the prophecy. The primary connection that Gendry has to the prophecy is that he is the only one capable of forging Lightbringer. He is, however, a likely candidate to fulfill the valonqar prophecy that foretells that a “valonqar,” or “little brother,” will kill the lioness, aka Cersei. Jaime being the only character with a golden hand makes him likely to be Azor Ahai.Ĭoncerning the legend of Azor Ahai, Jaime has a Valyrian steel sword forged from ice, but there is little else that ties him to the prophecy. “When the red star bleeds, and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone.” The Candidates Jaime Lannister Could Jamie be the most obvious choice?Īccording to this Reddit post, the Valyrian translation for “ Lord of Light “ and “Goldenhand” are nearly identical. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him.” In this dread hour, a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. “There will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. Melisandre mentions Azor Ahai and the “Prince That Was Promised” interchangeably, so it’s unclear whether they are the same person or not. This is the root of the prophecy of the “Prince That Was Promised.” The legend holds that Azor Ahai will be reborn when the long night comes again, to drive the darkness away. On his third attempt, he successfully tempered the sword by driving it into the heart of his lover, Nissa Nissa, killing her. First, he tempered it in water and then in the heart of a lion, but with each of these attempts, the sword shattered. It tells of the long night when Azor Ahai drove the White Walkers to the far North with his flaming sword, the Lightbringer, thus defeating the darkness.Īzor Ahai forged Lightbringer three times. The legend of Azor Ahai is at least 5,000 years old. So, how does Azor Ahai’s legend of the Chosen One fit in with the potential candidates? The Legend and Prophecy Azor Ahai The most popular fan theories have identified Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow as the most likely candidates to fulfill the prophecy of “ The One That Was Promised.” However, other fans insist that there may be some unlikely candidates in the running as well. SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for Season 7 of Game of Thrones.Īs Season 7 of Game of Thrones comes to an end, many fans are left wondering if there is a Chosen One.
