![]() ![]() I’m not sure if Melisandre convinced anyone of Stannis’s claim to be Azor Ahai reborn. Let’s get into the question of the hour: Will the Real Azor Ahai Please Stand Up?Īzor Ahai rises to importance in the context of Melisandre’s support for Stannis. In this article, largely for the sake of coherency, I’ll refer to them as one overarching prophecy. Still, I admit there isn’t enough evidence to conclusively say which theory is correct. For these reasons, and because Melisandre refers to them as one, I believe the prophecies are one and the same. Why? Both prophecies were in High Valyrian. The argument that the Prince does not have to be male applies to Azor Ahai as well. Thus, the prophecy could just as easily refer to a Princess. The translation of the prophecies from gender-neutral High Valyrian to English mistakenly asserted there would be a Prince. Perhaps they are the same person? On the other hand, there are some fans who believe they are two different people. Melisandre refers to Azor Ahai and the Prince That Was Promised interchangeably. His characterization is similar to Azor Ahai - another hero prophesied to save the world from darkness. I should mention that there is another legendary figure, the Prince That Was Promised. Now that the show surpassed the timeline given in the books, fans discovered implicative scenes about the ultimate importance of Azor Ahai.ĬLICK: Uncover the history of religion in GAME OF THRONES You may not have heard the name mentioned much on the show, but the book series provides various prophecies concerning Azor Ahai. Whoever this character is will play a vital part in the final defeat of Others. ![]() ![]() We believe one of the main characters is Azor Ahai reborn. Many fans, myself included, take stock in this prophecy. She wants to assist the human incarnation of her god in the fight against the Others. In particular, Melisandre’s sole motivation in GAME OF THRONES is to find the reincarnated Azor Ahai. They believe Azor Ahai will once more stand against the Others in a time of need. Why do people care about Azor Ahai? Those who follow in the faith of R’hllor believe that Azor Ahai will be reborn. To complete the creation of Lightbringer, Azor Ahai had to push his sword through the heart of his wife, Nissa Nissa, to combine her soul with his sword (Chapter 10, A CLASH OF KINGS). Integral to his story and his victory, was his sword of fire, Lightbringer, which took three tries and a hundred days and nights to forge. Eight thousand years before the current events of GAME OF THRONES (and A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE), a legendary hero named Azor Ahai severely defeated the Others. In the religion of the Lord of Light, the ultimate war is against darkness and, more literally, the Others/White Walkers (Chapter 10, A CLASH OF KINGS). First, we need to answer one fundamental question: Who is Azor Ahai? Whichever the case, I’m here to break it down for you, prophecy by prophecy. Maybe you’re aware of all the theories and developed your conclusions about the legendary hero? Perhaps you’re more confused after reading them? Is there a chance you’ve never heard of Azor Ahai and don’t understand why someone barely mentioned in GAME OF THRONES matters? At this point in Season 6 of GAME OF THRONES, you’ve probably heard a lot of talk about “Azor Ahai.” Now more than ever after fan speculation about Jon Snow’s death and the implications of Daenerys Targaryen’s Dothraki fire scene. ![]()
