So it may be that Daenerys Targaryen is the Azor Ahai, rebirthed in fire, and literally capable of waking “dragons from stone,” as the book’s version of the prophecy claims. The Hound is deathly afraid of fire, since it's the reason that half of his face is burned. Another popular school of thought says that just as with the “valonqar” prophecy about who’ll kill Cersei Lannister (covered in last week’s poll), “prince” in Westeros’ ancient language is gender-neutral. Since Azor Ahai is meant to defeat the never-ending winter, there are a lot of motifs surrounding him that involve fire, and there might not be a character on Game of Thrones who's more associated with that than Sandor Clegane.
There have already been arguments that Beric Dondarrion, who the Lord of Light keeps resurrecting, and who fights with a flaming sword, has always been the true Azor Ahai. But with TV-Stannis dead and Jon Snow recently resurrected by Melisandre’s god, she’s come to believe Jon is the new Azor Ahai.īut is she right? Fans have argued a fair bit over this one, and the season 7 premiere, “Dragonstone,” rekindled the debate. In the book and on the show, the priestess Melisandre follows and assists Stannis Baratheon because she believes he’s the Prince, the chosen one of her god, the Lord of Light, and the man destined to save the Seven Kingdoms.

Stories of the Long Night, or a similar cataclysmic event, are also common across Essos: According to one version, a great darkness lay over the world, and Azor Ahai was the hero chosen to fight against it.
Typically, the reborn Azor Ahai is known as the Prince Who Was Promised, although as with all things Game of Thrones, there are different interpretations some fans think the reincarnated Azor Ahai and the Prince are different prophecies. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Azor Ahai was a legendary hero who lived approximately eight thousand years before Aegon's Landing. This week, we’re looking at the prophecy about Azor Ahai, a legendary Game of Thrones figure who may have saved Westeros from the previous coming of the undead White Walkers with his flaming sword Lightbringer, and theoretically will be reborn “amidst salt and smoke” to re-forge Lightbringer and save the land again. We aren’t asking what you think is going to happen on Game of Thrones, we’re asking: what do you most hope to see happen? That’s why there’s Game of Thrones Hope Chest, a new weekly poll where we put all our hopes together in one place. And yet we fans maintain hope that at least a few of the characters will reach a satisfying, well-deserved ending. It’s author and screenwriters prefer to build fan expectations, then overturn them for narrative impact - and sometimes for pure shock value. Game of Thrones has never been about giving readers or viewers what they most want.
