![]() This makes us immediately think she's not because Melisandre's track record is pretty lousy (just ask Stannis Baratheon) and it feels like a misdirect. ![]() Case Against: Melisadre declared Dany might be The Princess Who Was Promised in the seventh season premiere. There are a couple more prophecy details beyond these, but they tend to be even more tricky to quantify. RELATED: With Lightbringer, Azor Ahai was able to defeat the Others and drive off the Long Night. In ASoIaF we are told about the Prince that was Promised, who may also equate with the eastern legend of Azor Ahai Reborn. Also important: Legend has it Azor Ahai first tried to temper Lightbringer in water, which broke the sword (rather like how Dany's fleet failed in a sea battle against Euron?), then tried to drive the sword into the heart of a lion (like her forces failed at the lion-sigiled home of Casterly Rock?), and then he finally succeeded by plunging the sword into the breast of his wife, killing her and fusing her soul with the weapon (… okay, so we got nothing for that one). The legend says that Azor Ahai forged his burning sword, Lightbringer after he tempered its steel by stabbing his own wife, Nissa Nissa. She's also fireproof and R'hllor is the god of light and fire. Her original birthplace is Dragonstone, a volcanic island of smoke and salt (some fans think the prophecy's "smoke and salt" reference basically means Azor Ahai must be a Targaryen). A red comet appeared in the sky afterward at the start of season 2. Are they all connected Guest Lucifer Means Lightbringer. It has been prophesied that he has now returned, reincarnated and ready to re-forge his sword Lightbringer and save Westeros from the Night King. We look at this most ancient of cities, Asshai, the legend of Azor Ahai, and the origin of dragons. As the world grew darker, the people turned to Azor Ahai as their champion to save them. In the novels, we're told "a bleeding star" will herald the coming of Azor Ahai, who "shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone." Dany was a princess who was "born again" when she emerged from the smoke and fire of Drogo's funeral pyre at the end of season 1 and birthed her dragons. Azor Ahai is a figure from legend in the faith of Rhllor, who defeated the darkness thousands of years ago. Azor Ahai was a legendary hero who lived near the end of the Age of Heroes, during the Long Night. Case For: The most obvious current candidate. The last time this battle went down, it was Azor Ahai who defeated the darkness with a magical sword called Lightbringer, forged in the blood of his beloved Nissa Nissa.
