ill have more for u later, but i wanted to hit on this, like his brothers, Robert and Renly, Stannis is a large man. hes tall, broad shouldered and sinewy. While he is not described as being particularly unattractive, he is also not considered as handsome as Renly or Robert was in his youth. Stannis has dark blue eyes. His head has only a fringe of black hair "like the shadow of a crown," and a close-cropped beard across his large jaw. His face has a tightness to it like cured leather, and he has hollow cheeks. He has thin, pale lips.
The red sword would seem to be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and the blue-eyed king without a shadow would then be Stannis Baratheon whose shadow has been so recently harnessed by Melisandre's sorcery to murder Renly Baratheon and Ser Cortnay Penrose. no i dont think stannis is AA, i just think thats who she saw in that vision.
edit- happy 5000th post

About the king who casts no shadow. One reason why I'm thinking this might be Gendry: when I think of the meaning of the words "casts no shadow" I am thinking they're referring to a person who doesn't seem important; someone unknown and unexpected who is already hidden in the shadows, and therefore will cast none.
Also, AA will pull the sword from the fire. I just took that to mean he will forge it.
Anyway, I understand my thinking is more literal but metaphors make me go insane. ("Omg what does THAT MEAN!?!?" - followed by a seizure and foaming at the mouth.)
Some of your metaphorical interpretation of the Night's Watch possibly being Lightbringer is very intriguing. I'll be thinking about it and might post more about that later (after the seizure).
Goddamn GRRM. So many theories and possible outcomes, thinking about them all is enough to make a person insane so I have to take little breaks . Lol.
