![]() Will Jon Snow fulfill the prophecies of Rhaegar Targaryen? I’m not going to spoil anything for show watchers, but we get a good bout of information on both prophecies in the fourth book of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Feast for Crows. It sounds very similar to the prophecies about Azor Ahai but some believe that The Prince that was Promised is totally different. The Prince that was Promised, as far as we know, is a prophesied hero that will be heralded by a bleeding star and will ward off the darkness. He believed that there was a difference between the prophecies regarding Azor Ahai and those regarding The Prince that was Promised, which is still a debated topic today. Not only is this a beautiful passage that shows how hopeful and what a visionary Rhaegar was, but it tells us so much more about what Rhaegar thought. This passage shows a conversation between Rhaegar and his wife Elia Martell over their newborn, Aegon. Sweet sadness filled the room as man and wife and babe faded like the morning mist, only the music lingering behind to speed her on her way.” He went to the window seat, picked up a harp, and ran his fingers lightly over its silvery strings. “There must be one more,” he said, though whether he was speaking to her or the woman in the bed she could not say. “He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire.” He looked up when he said it and his eyes met Dany’s, and it seemed as if he saw her standing there beyond the door. ![]() “Will you make a song for him?” the woman asked. “Aegon,” he said to a woman nursing a newborn babe in a great wooden bed. The man had her brother’s hair, but he was taller, and his eyes were a dark indigo rather than lilac. Viserys, was her first thought the next time she paused, but a second glance told her otherwise. We also know of Rhaegar’s intentions from a vision Daenerys has when she visits the House of the Undying while in Qarth. That’s the reason that he named his kids Aegon and Rhaenys (the names of the first conqueror of Westeros and his favorite sister wife), he was just waiting for a Visenya (the name of Aegon I’s second sister wife) but instead made a Lightbringer. Rhaegar wanted to bring a new start to the Targaryens and subsequently to Westeros. He also founded the idea that the dragon should have three heads (him and his sisters) and that is the reason for the Targaryen sigil having three heads. He came from ruined Valyria with three dragons and two sister-wives (Rhaenys and Visenya) and made all the kings of Westeros submit and swear fealty to him. He was the conqueror and founder of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. If you’ve made it this far into the article and you’re reading it in the first place, I trust that you know what Aegon I Targaryen was all about. Was Lyanna Stark Rhaegar’s version of Nissa Nissa? I think that what Rhaegar intended was to have the Targaryen family continue after he was gone he intended to have a reboot of the Targaryen line, so to speak, starting with a very new Aegon the Conqueror. I think that Rhaegar knew he was Azor Ahai, but also knew that his father was going to get kicked off the throne and that he was going to perish shortly thereafter. I truly believe all this about Lyanna being Nissa Nissa and Jon being Lightbringer, but I don’t think that Rhaegar intended to create Lightbringer from the get-go. Well, this time he succeeded in making a healthy, third child but killed the child’s mother in the process. After two previous tries (his two first children Aegon and Rhaenys) and after sacrificing one being already (Elia Martell) Rhaegar tried one last time to make the perfect child, this time with the She-Wolf. And on the last try he sacrificed his wife, Nissa Nissa by stabbing the sword through her breast and thus forging the weapon of heroes. It took him three tries to make the perfect sword. According to the ancient books of Asshai, Azor Ahai didn’t forge Lightbringer on his first try. Those of you who really know your stuff about Azor Ahai will be saying “But wait, what about Nissa Nissa?!” Well, first let me give all of you who are like “Who the hell is Nissa Nissa?” a little backstory. ![]() ![]() If Jon Snow really is a Targaryen and becomes one of the heads of the dragon then he will pose a real threat to the Others and the darkness shall flee before him. ![]() The cold breath of darkness is falling heavy on the world with the coming of the Others throughout the series.
