The Bastard of Walton Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Personally I've convinced myself that Jon is AA. This quote from ADWD is a major reason why Melisandre: "I pray for a glimpse of Azor Ahai & R'hllor shows me only snow" There are more reasons of course, but since I read this the first time around, in my head it cant be anybody else. Daenerys is of course another obvious choice, as she was born amidst smoke and salt. Aegon was named by Rhaegar as the Prince that was promised. But Westeros is full of Princes and would be princes or princess's at the minute, Bran, Rickon, Sansa, Arya, Asha, Theon, Mrycella, Mance & Dalla's son jump to mind. Could AA be one of these instead or somebody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Santa of House Claus Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Of the group you listed, outside of Dany, Jon, and Aegon, I would say Bran. Only because of his abilities that he is developing, he will be a force against the Others. But I do not see it, he does not fit the prophecy's requirements, as far as I can tell.

4th Dragon Head Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I've always assumed that it was Dany, until reading DWD and the quote you have above, and it struck me that it could be Jon. But I find lately that I really don't know or care at this point. I think the 3 heads of the dragon together are more important overall than the 1 Ptwp. Which, btw, my 3 heads are Jon, Dany, and Tyron. All of whom (if you believe R+L=J) had mothers die during their birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th Dragon Head Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 For arguments sake tho, if we say it is Dany, or Jon, or Bran, or whoever, how is Stannis going to handle the news that he is neither the ptwp or the rightful heir to the throne? I know he's all about honor, and he says he only wants the throne bc its his 'duty', but after warring and scheming to get the throne for all this time, is he really going to step aside to allow whichever Targ makes a claim to just take the throne bc their claim is stronger? I have a hard time believing that. I guess he could say that he's still Robert's heir, regardless of the Targ Claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Admittedly I thought Davos being mentioned as a candidate for Azor Ahai was dumb, but I think he is the most viable candidate outside the "favorites." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Fire and Sea Salt? Possible, but that is only 1 part of the prophecy. If you can make it for the rest, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm still hoping it's Davos.Eta: double ninja'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Admittedly I thought Davos being mentioned as a candidate for Azor Ahai was dumb, but I think he is the most viable candidate outside the "favorites."Grrm did tell Liam Cunningham something "shocking" about Davos. He's my personal favorite for AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutraven Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'd love it if it was Stannis. Nobody really thinks he is so it would actually be pretty surprising to have the original candidate be it. Having said that I don't think anyone IS AAR, I believe someone will, by chance, do everything that is required to be AAR and will be instrumental in beating the Others. Personally, I think it's going to be Jon, crackpot chances for me are Jaime, Brienne or Davos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siknes Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The 'shocking' thing about Davos is that he died at Blackwater(he went unconscious in the bay, people die in this situation) but the Drowned God spit him onto his rocky island, like Jinglebells. The only problem is it doesn't involve R'hollor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Sapp Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think it is Jaime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Mac Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd like AAR to be either Brienne, Jaime, Davos or Bran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could AA be one of these instead or somebody else? No. We have read eight elements required to fulfill the AAR/PTWP prophecies:He or she will be born 1) of the line of Aerys II & Rhaella. He or she will be 2) born or reborn under a 3) red bleeding star with 4) cold winds blowing amidst 5) smoke and 6) salt to 7) wake a dragon. He or she will 8) draw a burning sword from a fire that will be called Lightbringer. You can stretch the other elements to make 'em fit just about any character. But that Aerys & Rhaella element limits the field to Dany, Jon (assuming R+L=J), and Aegon (assuming he's who JonCon thinks he is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiss of Fire 2 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It is Jon Snow....Dany will bring him the sword Dawn, it is known....he was a Prince until Robb's death which then made him KitN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
