![]() ![]() Rhaegar is holding his other son, Aegon, and says, " He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire. Plus, in the books, Daenerys has a vision with her brother Rhaegar (the possible father of Jon Snow). There's an argument to be made that Jon alone is the "song of ice and fire," because his likely parentage is both Stark and Targaryen. Is it possible Jon and Daenerys combined are TPTWP and Azor Ahai? Martin's series is titled "A Song of Ice and Fire." Jon's association with the north and the Wall makes him the "ice," while Daenerys' dragons and house name are the "fire." ![]() With her plans in place to one day conquer Westeros, surely she will need to defeat the White Walkers in the process. There are few known ways to kill these magical beings, and dragonfire is likely one of them. As the former Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and one of the series' morally "good guys," Jon just has that "hero-vibe" to him.ĭaenerys is also poised to come up against the White Walkers. In season five's "Hardhome" episode, he was literally face-to-face with the Night's King - the White Walkers' leader. Jon Snow is one of very few people in Westeros who have fought against a White Walker and won (using his Valyrian steel sword). They also both seem fated to fight against the White Walkers and their coming threat. This sword was forged with fire magic, so there's still something special about it. Neither of them posses a literal flaming sword, but Daenerys has fire-breathing dragons and Jon has a Valyrian steel sword, Longclaw. Jon was literally reborn after dying, while Daenerys has now been "reborn" in fire twice. When speaking with Tyrion and Varys, she says "Daenerys Stormborn has been sent to lead the people against a darkness - in this war, and in the great war still to come."īoth Jon and Daenerys possess qualities associated with TPTWP/Azor Ahai. All the way back in season two, Melisandre told Renly he should kneel before Stannis, for he is the "lord's chosen one, born amidst salt and smoke."īut over in Meereen, Kinvara is clear about TPTWP being Daenerys Targaryen. In past seasons, we heard Melisandre use these attributes to claim Stannis Baratheon as Azor Ahai, another name for TPTWP. There are several signs mentioned by Melisandre that are meant to symbolize TPTWP's return, but the two specifics are a "bleeding star," and being born "amidst salt and smoke." This prophesied hero is meant to deliver the entire world from a coming darkness. " The Prince That Was Promised" (TPTWP) is a legendary figure in Westeros, alluded to several times throughout the book series. Kinvara's reference to Daenerys is the second time in season six we've heard a character referred to as "the one who was promised." Melisandre said about Jon Snow after he was resurrected, and now Kinvara has formally assigned the title to Daenerys. "Game of Thrones" YouTuber Alt-Shift-X has a fantastic overview of the books' foretold heroes, but let's take a look at how the show has incorporated these prophecies. Martin's universe, but for now let's assume there's some truth to the fanatics' belief. Another possibility is that all prophecies are a farce in George R.R. Kinvara assures Tyrion that she wants to help, because she believes Daenerys is the "one who was promised," a hero destined to "l ead the people against a darkness."īut Daenerys is only one of a few people in Westeros who could be the prophesied hero destined to save humanity from the impending doom. ![]() ![]() When Tyrion invites Kinvara to Meereen, he is hopeful she will assist him in spreading beneficial stories about Daenerys. The Red Temple in Volantis is like the Vatican, to carry on with this metaphor. Melisandre technically reports up to her, sort of like a lower clergy would be duty-bound to the Pope. Kinvara appears to be the leader of all the priests and priestesses serving the Lord of Light, or R'hllor. So who exactly is Kinvara, and what does she have to do with the Mother of Dragons? Quite the mouthful (and not unlike Daenerys' lengthy list of titles). She is also introduced as the "Flame of Truth, the Light of Wisdom, and the First Servant of the Lord of Light." According to the priest who introduced her, Kinvara is the High Priestess of the Red Temple in Volantis. Sunday's "Game of Thrones" episode introduced a new mysterious religious servant - Kinvara. ![]()
