![]() Melisandre had an important scene with Jon Snow in Season 6 Episode 10. Melisandre’s role in the Jon Snow is Azor Ahai theory (Bran will probably have to accidentally let the Others through the Wall first.) So there will still come a day when Azor Ahai will have to draw from the fire a burning sword. Winter has (finally) come in Westeros, but the darkness is not quite “heavy” on the world yet. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him.” In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. “here will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. When he pulled his blade from her chest, he had created Lightbringer, a sword that perpetually glowed with heat (fire) and was capable of defeating the Others. On his third (and successful) attempt, he drove his sword into his wife’s chest, combining her soul with the steel. Azor Ahai tried thrice to create a sword capable of defeating the Others. Azor Ahai’s burning sword, LightbringerĪzor Ahai will stand against the Others (the White Walkers) in the great battle to come. HBO’s “Game of Thrones”īut there’s more to the Azor Ahai theory than just being born beneath a bleeding star amidst salt and smoke. And there’s also a theory that Jaime Lannister is Azor Ahai. The prophecy fits Dany too (she was literally reborn under a red comet in the sky amidst salt and smoke the night she burned Drogo’s body), but that could easily be a red herring. Davos could represent salt (he was a seawater smuggler his entire life), and Melisandre could represent smoke (fire). There’s still a chance in the books Jon’s resurrection will involve salt and smoke in some way. The “salt and smoke” part is a little harder to fit to Jon Snow. (Credit to reddit user hatchman88 for making this connection.) And the show was very intentional about focusing on the sword and the blood. In the scene in the Tower of Joy, Jon Snow is literally born beneath a bleeding star. Jon Snow is Azor Ahai: Born beneath a bleeding starĪzor Ahai will be “Born amidst salt and smoke, beneath a bleeding star,” according to the prophecy. Azor Ahai is a prophesized hero who will lead the battle against the Others (the White Walkers) in the great battle between the living and the dead. And this relates back to the prophecy of Azor Ahai. Why is this significant? Because Dayne’s legendary sword - Dawn - was said to be made from metal forged from the heart of a fallen star. HBO made it a point to focus the camera on young Ned Stark placing Ser Arthur Dayne’s sword down at the end of Lyanna’s bed as she lay in blood. Season 6 Episode 10’s big reveal was R+L=J, but there was far more significance to the scene than just figuring out who Jon Snow’s real parents are. ![]()
