So I read the first page of this thread and the last couple so forgive me if I'm repeating stuff but I thought i would throw some ideas I had about Dany out there to see what people think.

Dany = Azor Ahai

She woke dragons from stone (the eggs) and did so by burning the blood and body of a king.

You can try to argue that Khal Drogo wasn't a king but it seems like a cultural difference at best to me.

My prediction is that Dany will kill Jon (just like when Azor Ahai killed his wife) to make a weapon that can defeat whatever is controlling the whitewalkers.

Anyways let me know if this stuff is old news but hey its always fun to discuss ASOIAF.
ok, i thought i responded to this already, but apparently i failed hard. Ohh Dany. shes important, we know this, what we don;t know is her exact purpose. is she meant to rule? or was she just supposed to be "the mother of dragons" aka the person that birthed dragons back into the world, for another person to sit on the throne.

Personally i dont think Dany will sit the iron throne. firstly, Aegon (fake or not) has a better claim than Dany as he is supposedly Rhaegar's son. and guess what, if u subscribe to R+L=J then, the mr Jon Snow would be 2nd in line to the throne after Aegon. Leaving Dany, at best, third in line to the throne (oh and spoiler alert, Dorne is the only kingdom that allows a woman to rule completely on her own and not as a man proxy.

so theres all that. my opinion is that Aegon is either Illyrio's kid, or, a blackfyre, and that he will be slain. Jon and Dany will hook up. Dany will die at some point, but it will be dramatic, she will die to protect all of the people of westeros (similar to the jesus dying for everyones sins story).

after Aegon is proven false or killed, after Dany gives her life to save us from the walkers, Jon Snow will sit the iron throne, and will rule over the kingdoms. if Jon is still to much of a girl to sit the throne, i wouldnt be surprised at all if Gendry is legitimized and named Lord of House Baratheon (assuming i'm right that Stannis will end up as the 1000th commander of the nights watch, but theres a long shot that Dany no longer will have use for her mormont and he will take the black to follow in his fathers footsteps at the wall)

Personally, i dont think Dany can be AA. in all of melisandres fire visions she sees a very dark haired man. she assumes this is Stannis, but it may in fact be Jon Snow, and i think Melisandre starts to think this by end of book 5. furthermore, im 99% convinved that AAs sword (Lightbringer) is either a metaphor for the nights watch men (ie: the sword in the darkness, defenders of the realm, etc), or, the sword lightbringer is actually the ancient sword of Dorne refered to as "Dawn". we know Dawn is not valayarian steel, yet contains magical properties. we know the blade had a milky glow to it when Ned saw Sir Arthur Dayne holding it. And we know that its mentioned in every book, yet never seen. (Stannis' sword is not Lightbringer, as Aemon comments on in book 4, Lightbringers blade is supposed to both show and radiate heat, and stannis' sword does not). also Aemon says "The sword is wrong, she has to know that ... light without heat ... an empty glamour ... the sword is wrong, and the false light can only lead us deeper into darkness” - the dying Maester Aemon, to Samwell Tarly

ok back on track - first i agree, Drogo had kings blood. he was a king, and i dont see what easten magics would favor westeros kings over any other kind. the kings blood from drogo was a huge part of the magic used to hatch those dragon eggs.

personally, i still expect Jon to be AA, after he gets his 96% rezz he would be free from his nightswatch vows. he could easily gather up the wildlings and their army and be like, lets go stomp out Ramsay and the boltons. but thats a story for another day [You must be logged in to view images.
