So in the same way what happens at Summer Hall will lead to tPtwPĪrya dose indeed become no one in Braavos so she can indeed be reborn, but needs to be done under a bleeding star if I remember Grumpy I would say that a translation of a translation is the worst story - AA will be the most accurate.An ancient prophecy which comes from the Lord of Light’s religion and its followers states that Azor Ahai will one day be reborn as the Prince that was Promised, to defeat the White Walkers once more. Tak e Mel for example she wants to find AA she is lead to Stannis who leads her to Snow, who leads her to ?, what good would it be for Mel to see Jon in her visions or Winterfell for that matter, she already has visions of unknown cities, first she needs visions of Dragonstone and Stannis who will eventually lead her to Jon. The wood witch can't avoid the summer hall if it will lead to the prophecy being completed, and may prophecies have a self fulfilling element so without certain events being put into motion nothing can happen. Mel saying Snow and seeing snow can be down to her own interpretation, she has named Arya before now and been wrong, what she sees and sees are two different things. So there, AA has to come from Aerys and Rhaella, Arya is not from this line, so Arya is not AA. And anyway, if the woods witch is related to CoTF and BR and Bran, then even if she knew about Summerhall she would not have said anything because she would know it would be futile to try and change the course of history. I don't think she lied deliberately because that would be stupid, and I don't think she can know everything about the future, just what her dreams showed her. But I don't think this particular woods witch/ghost of high heart has ever been wrong in her life. The wood’s witch either lied so that Jenny could marry Prince Duncan, or the visions she saw were misinterpreted by her.Įverything else in your theory is debatable, (but Mel says she saw Snow not snow, as other pointed out, so that's out too). I find it hard to believe the wood’s witch was 100% right about this criteria, because if she could see the future accurately - she could have avoided the tragedy at Summerhall - that resulted in the death of Jenny & Prince Duncan. If that were true, only Jon Snow & Daenerys Targaryen would be the living contenders for Azor Ahai. The one argument against Arya being Azor Ahai would be - that the wood’s witch predicted Azor Ahai would come of Aery’s and Rhaella’s line. It was during a re-read of Storm of Swords that I first noticed a foreshadowing.

The snow, winter, cold, ice could refer to any Stark. But I believe seeing Jon’s face is different from seeing ‘snow’. Melisandre probably suspects Jon to be Azor Ahai. When Melisandre prays for Azor Ahai, all she sees in the flames is ‘snow’. Jon: The third most important candidate is Jon Snow. Master Aemon suspects that the sword he wields is not the true Lightbringer. And prophecies never work when they are forced. Stannis: The other candidate Stannis Baratheon seems to be a case of a prophecy being forced into be true.

Where is her legendary sword ‘Lightbringer’? Could she even wield a sword like ‘Lightbringer’? Could she forge it? Dany seems to be the biggest red herring. Later Illyrio reflects how Dany was reborn in ‘blood & fire’ on the Dothraki sea.ĭany: Now if Dany did hatch those eggs out of stone, there are still some parts of the prophecy that fall short when you think of her as a contender. According to the wood’s witch, the Prince who was Promised would descend from Aery’s and Rhaella’s line. She is also believed to have descended from Aery’s and Rhaella’s line. But this hint makes us look out for all the possible female candidates who could fulfil this prophecy.ĭany: On the Dothraki sea, Dany does seem to have hatched dragon eggs from a funeral pyre (smoke?). Most of us, including me believed this prophecy had to be fulfilled by a man. So Master Aemon believes that Azor Ahai need not be male, it could be a female. With Master Aemon believing that Azor Ahai/Prince who was Promised could be a ‘Princess’ and not a ‘Prince’. But besides him being a smith, there seems to be no other foreshadowing of him being Azor Ahai.ĭany: The first and most likely candidate for Azor Ahai has been Dany. because Gendry is a smith, and so he could forge Lightbringer. Some even argue that Gendry could be Azor Ahai. The existing candidates for Azor Ahai seem to be the following characters:

And by what he said - ‘He who was promised’ is the Westerosi translation of ‘Azor Ahai’.

In an interview, GRRM remarked that Azor Ahai was an eastern prophecy. I believe the character that turns into Azor Ahai is someone we already know. Who is Azor Ahai is the most debated question for readers.
