And chances are if the reincarnation of Azor Ahai is in the show, we’ve already met him or her. In the next two seasons, we might finally see it come to pass. The idea of someone stepping up against the odds is a common one in the fantasy genre, but in Game of Thrones and ASOIAF it’s not just an idea, it’s the crux of one of the story’s biggest prophecies: the rebirth of a legendary figure named Azor Ahai. What might make the difference is the emergence of a great hero who could save them all. Who ends up on the Iron Throne is a big question, but as the White Walkers demonstrated, that throne of swords means nothing if the world is consumed by winter and the monsters that lurk in the cold. With that question out of the way until Jon (and possibly the rest of Westeros) learns about his parents, the final two seasons have time to explore even bigger mysteries. One recent Game of Thrones reveal-the satisfying confirmation that Lyanna Stark is Jon Snow’s mother -was 20 years in the making.
Theories, visions, and prophecies have long been essential to Game of Thrones and the A Song of Ice and Fire book series. And now that winter has finally arrived and the great war for Westeros is about to begin, a prophecy thousands of years in the making may finally come to pass. As much as Game of Thrones relishes in the Westeros-centric struggle for who will sit on the Iron Throne, there’s always been a much bigger fight brewing on the horizon.
