Martin’s upcoming sixth entry in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series - may finally reveal the identity of Azor Ahai once and for all. Game of Thrones even included a brief Easter egg that teased Azor Ahai in an old text, but The Winds of Winter - George R.R. Contrary to popular belief, however, the legendary figures have marked differences. Many fans speculated that Azor Ahai and the Prince That Was Promised were one and the same.

However, one of the biggest was the identity of Azor Ahai, a legendary hero prophesied to be reborn as the champion of Westeros. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series ended its eight-season run with many questions left unanswered. The links to the water and the lion are just the right kind of ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ level of subtle that the HBO hit likes to sneak into the show.Įven though it could be a red herring, other hints in the series have been pointing to the Mother of Dragons being the legendary figure for awhile – so we’re pretty excited.Īnd while there’s no hint yet on how the final part of the prophecy could play out, it doesn’t seem like it would be literal.Game of Thrones teased the identity of the Prince That Was Promised, but The Winds of Winter may finally reveal the truth about Azor Ahai. It seems to be some sort of army, maybe involving dragons, but who knows.” The only thing I’m still unsure of is what or who exactly Lightbringer will be for Daenerys. “He’s been cured of grayscale, and is heading back to Daenerys, it seems logical.

On the third and final attempt, he thrust the sword into his wife’s heart, and became successful in creating his sword Lightbringer. “On his second attempt, he tried to temper the steel by thrusting the sword into the heart of a lion, but it too shattered. On his first attempt, he tried to temper the steel in water, but it shattered. “In the books, the legend states that Azor Ahai was working to forge a hero’s sword. “I think that last episode basically confirms who Azor Ahai is…and it has everything to do with the forging of ‘Lightbringer’.
