Here are the qualifications based on the prophecy: The show made a big deal about this for a while with Melisandre putting all her faith in the idea that Stannis was this Prince. Probably the most famous prophecy in Game of Thrones history is the one about the return of Azor Ahai, the legendary warrior that was supposed to be reborn as the Prince that was Promised in the form of some present day savior. And yet this seems pretty deliberate which is what led to all these theories which ultimately went nowhere, with Arya not killing anyone else after the Night King.Īzor Ahai and the Prince That Was Promised This one perhaps people were just reading into too much, as surely with all the people Arya has murdered, someone in there had green eyes, and perhaps Melisandre was just talking about people in general, not specific figures. After Cersei died on her own, then people were trying to figure out what color Daenerys’ eyes on the show were, and whether they were green enough to qualify. And then the idea was that Arya would kill Cersei, with green eyes, completing that trilogy. Before that, she’d killed Walder Frey, who has brown eyes. After Arya killed the Night King, that was clearly the blue eyes. This led fans to speculate who exactly those eyes belonged to. And in that darkness, eyes staring at me: Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes - eyes you’ll shut forever. So that may signify a very different type of death for her in the books if Martin does in fact want this prophecy to mean something.Ī more recent theory has been based around Melisandre’s prophecy about Arya, said to her twice in the run of the series: It’s an ending that defies the other true elements of the prophecy, though show-watchers say that since the “valonqar” part was only in the books, it didn’t need to happen on the show. This implied she would be killed by Tyrion, her younger brother, Jaime, who even as a twin, was technically younger than her, or someone could be “the” little brother, like Euron being the younger brother in the Greyjoy family.Īnd then in the end, even the loosest interpretation of the prophecy can’t explain how Cersei actually died, crushed by rubble with Jaime as Daenerys and Drogon attack the castle. But she also says very explicitly that the “valonqar,” High Valyrian for “the little brother” will strangle her to death. So she predicts the exact number of her children, and that they will all die (they do). And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.” Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said.
