      Im now more convinced than ever that daemon will be pulled from the gods eye by the green men. Maybe he will drown and maybe he won’t, but that green man showed himself to Daemon for a reason. The Asoiaf vision that he saw was enough to convince him, the green man is for something more

      @@stuartbagley2586 well the prophecy is tied to the others and the last hero, and defeating the gathering darkness. There isn't a Night king in the book to kill. But the fact that Jon and Danny didn't do much to end the long night in the show and that it was in fact a stark that defeated the darkness, not a Targeryan. Takes me back to my original post which was why wouldn't they just cut this storyline from house of the dragon as its a dead end. Because this show is a prequel to Game of thrones, and we know how that ends. And the only person this prophecy has anything to do with in the show was Stannis.

    In "A Song of Ice and Fire," the most powerful and significant character is actually Brynden Rivers, a legitimized bastard by Aegon the Unworthy. The reason Aegon the Conqueror united the Seven Kingdoms was to stand against the Night King, and the prophecy of Azor Ahai is believed to descend from Aegon's bloodline. Despite the victory of the Greens in the civil war, the second son of Rhaenyra and Daemon, Viserys II, would have a bastard grandson named Brynden Rivers. With Valyrian magic and First Men blood from House Blackwood, this lineage accelerates the potential Azor Ahai prophecy. The power of skinchanging or the Three-Eyed Raven is more formidable than House Targaryen's dragons, allowing them to continue ruling through the Hand of the King and Master of Whisperers, Lord Bloodraven. Despite being legitimized as a Targaryen prince, Brynden remains loyal to his half-brother, King Daeron II, after the Blackfyre Rebellion.
    Brynden Rivers has the ability to manipulate the future through a eugenic program, ultimately leading Aegon V (Egg) to become king and marry into House Blackwood, thus combining pure Valyrian magic and First Men blood through incestuous marriages. From Jaehaerys II to Aerys II, the Targaryen incestuous line led to Rhaegar Targaryen, whose birth is linked to the Summerhall tragedy during Aegon V's attempt to hatch dragons, which ultimately failed. Targaryen madness is rooted in the Blackwood DNA, contributing to moral decay and insanity. Despite their cruelty, the Targaryens aimed for a greater and wiser purpose, as Brynden Rivers famously said, "The end justifies the means." Finally, the Prince That Was Promised is believed to be Jon Snow or Aegon VI Targaryen..

  • @Loreweavver
    @Loreweavver Місяць тому

    HotD has offered two (or three) possible explanations for the dreams of prophecy.
    The third option first as its been the most talked about and is older is that Blood Raven sends all the dreams (or an entity possessing Blood Raven)
    Second option is the dragons are dreaming and they see past and future in their dreams and are warging with the dragon riders and sharing their dreams.
    Third option is that the dreams are coming from Cthonic gods who are just using the men and kings as pieces on a chess board as they play a long game.
    Think of these gods as people playing a 4x strategy game each controlling different factions via dream and occasional possession of an avatar.
    This option is also the Blood Raven option if Blood Raven is a possessed avatar of an old god who now wants Bran to be his new, younger, fresher host.

      All targarynens burn (although it’s inferred they have like a slightly higher tolerance for heat than normal people due, like hotter baths etc)
      The whole Targaryens being immune to burning thing is a misconception created by show only fans of GOT and then kept alive by Dan and Dave for whatever reason they did things.
      Danarys should have burned in the fire when her dragon eggs hatched and the fact that she doesn’t is a miracle/magic in itself.
