If you watch only The Series Game of thrones Turn away now..

1st Theory who is the main charaecter
Bran Stark i believe

2nd Theory
Jon snows parents

Lyanna & Rhager



3rd Azor Azai

Stannis Baratheon

According to Melisandre, Stannis is Azor Ahai reborn.
Stannis wields a magic sword that was forged by plunging a blade through a burning statue of the Maiden at the sept at Dragonstone. This ceremony is meant to be his 'rebirth' as Azor Ahai. The burning statues of the Seven provide the smoke and the waves on the shores of Dragonstone provide the salt.[1][2][3]
Stannis was named the Lord of Dragonstone after Robert's Rebellion, Dragonstone being a place of smoke and salt.
Stannis' paternal grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen, meaning that he has the Blood of the Dragon, which may or may not be a prerequisite.
However, Stannis wasn't born from the line of Mad Aerys and Rhaella.
Maester Aemon also remarks that Stannis's sword, while shining brilliantly thanks to Melisandre's magic, gives off no heat and so could not possibly be Lightbringer.
Daenerys Targaryen

After Sam tells Maester Aemon of the rumors about Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons, Aemon becomes certain that Daenerys is the prophesied leader.[4]. He says to Sam:
“ No one ever looked for a girl..It was a prince that was promised, not a princess. Rhaegar I thought … the smoke was from the fire that devoured Summerhall on the day of his birth, the salt from the tears shed for those who died. He shared my belief when he was young, but later he became persuaded that it was his own son who fulfilled the prophecy, for a comet had been seen above King’s Landing on the night Aegon was conceived, and Rhaegar was certain the bleeding star had to be a comet.
What fools we were, who thought ourselves so wise! The error crept in from the translation. Dragons are neither male nor female, Barth saw the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame. The language misled us all for a thousand years.
Daenerys is the one, born amidst salt and smoke. The dragons prove it.

He subsequently bids Sam relate all their findings to the maesters in Oldtown and convince them to send a maester to Daenerys.
The prophecy was originally made by dragons, who are neither male or female, meaning Azor Ahai reborn may not necessarily be a man.
Daenerys was born on Dragonstone, an island in the narrow sea ("amidst salt"), and reborn as the Mother of Dragons on Khal Drogo's burning funeral pyre ("amidst smoke"). On that pyre her three petrified dragon eggs hatched ("born amidst salt and smoke to wake dragons from stone"), and on that morning for the first time the Red Comet appeared in the sky ("When the stars bleed...").
An additional prophecy from a woods witch prophesied that the Prince That Was Promised would be born from the line of Prince Aerys and Princess Rhaella. Daenerys is the daughter of Aerys and Rhaella.
Jon Snow

Jon's wounds smoke while Bowen Marsh cries, providing the prophecised salt, and Ser Patrek's bloody, star laden heraldry is in the air above.[5]
When Melisandre looks into her fires for Azor Ahai, she sees only things to do with Jon or snow, which he thinks must just be ash but she sees a possible connection to Jon.[6]
Jon Snow has a dream where he fights the Others with a red sword burning in his hand. [7]
If having the Blood of the Dragon is a prerequisite, if Jon's father is truly Rhaegar, Jon would satisfy that prerequisite. He would be the grandson of Aerys and Rhaella and thus come from their line.
Jon chose his duty to the Night's Watch over his love for Ygritte. He indirectly caused her death by warning Castle Black of the incoming wildling raid. Similar to Azor Ahai sacrificing Nissa Nissa to complete Lightbringer.
Victarion Greyjoy

While traveling to capture Daenerys, Victarion Greyjoy's likely mortal sword wound is healed by Moqorro, a red priest of R'hllor. Afterward, his arm resembles roast pig and visibly smokes.[8]
The ritual was performed at sea, which provides the salt. Victarion's arm smokes afterward, which provides the smoke.
Victarion was saved from death, which could be considered a form of rebirth.
Moqorro says he sees a great future for Victarion in the service to R'hllor.
Victarion previously beat his wife to death, which is a possible Nissa Nissa connection.
Aegon VI Targaryen

Before his death, Rhaegar believed his son to be the Prince that was Promised.[9][10][4]
Rhaegar Targaryen

In his youth, Rhaegar Targaryen thought he might be Azor Ahai. At the time, Maester Aemon thought the same.[11] If this is true, Robert Baratheon doomed all of Westeros when he killed Rhaegar.
He was born during the Tragedy at Summerhall where fire was used to wake the dragons.


IF you guys have any other Theories of where the song of ice and fire will take us

Last year I made a thread about .

This is what I got:

As many people I got entranced by the Game of Thrones series. After I watched the first two seasons I started to read the books, starting from the third, to know how the story further progressed. After I read the last one I read the first and second one xd Yes not very conventional, I know and it's not the first time I did that, but whatever >.>

My favourite character is Jon Snow. A Song of Ice and Fire has got countless of different plot developments and questions that needs to be solved, however the one that has always intrigued me the most was who Jon Snow's real mother is/was?

I started browsing the internet and found this on a SOFA-wikia, it's a summary of a theory that has been discussed on SOFA forums thoroughly:

Warning, main contain serious spoilers!

Many readers believe that Jon is not the son of Eddard Stark. Instead, he is the son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Eddard's sister Lyanna. Rhaegar and Lyanna disappeared together to the Tower of Joy early in Robert's Rebellion. There, it's believed, Rhaegar leaves a pregnant Lyanna to defend his family's dynasty.

At the end of Robert's Rebellion, about one year later, Eddard and his companions find three of the Kingsguard at the Tower of Joy: Lord Commander Ser Gerold Hightower, Ser Oswell Whent, and Ser Arthur Dayne. The reasons for their presence and the ensuing fight are unknown, but defending the unborn son of the Heir Apparent would be a good reason to have been posted. The only known survivors of the fight were Eddard himself and Howland Reed. Eddard recalls his sister dying "in a bed of blood," where he made her an unknown promise just before she died.

Also, while Robb, Sansa, Bran and Rickon are said to have Tully features (hair color, eyes), Jon and Arya are said to be closer in appearance (which had made Sansa believe Arya was also a bastard like Jon, until her mother put Sansa's theory down). Arya is said to resemble Lyanna.

Further evidence to the truth of this theory in the eighth Eddard chapter of A Game of Thrones, in which Ned contemplates the significance of King Robert's bastards. As he muses, Ned's thoughts drift to Jon Snow, a logical segue, but also to his sister Lyanna, the promise he made her, and to Rhaegar Targaryen, implying some tacit link between the three individuals.

Daenerys Targaryen's visions in the House of the Undying include an image of Rhaegar with his newborn son Aegon, proclaiming that "there must be a third" because "the dragon has three heads". Given that, according to Jon Connington, Rhaegar's wife Elia was believed infertile after two difficult pregnancies, and that Aegon the Conqueror himself had two wives, it is logical for Rhaegar to have attempted to fulfill prophecy by having a third child with another woman.

If Rhaegar secretly married Lyanna, it would ironically mean that Jon is not a bastard despite his life having been defined by his believed bastard status to a great extent, and that he is the heir to the Iron Throne after Aegon VI Targaryen (although this last point is rendered moot so long as he belongs to the Night's Watch).
With Eddard beheaded by King Joffrey, Howland Reed is the only living person who knows the nature of Lyanna's death and what she made her brother promise.

Personally I really like this theory. It's weird I didn't consider this possibility before I read this, but that's probably because I didn't read the first book yet at that point and the TV series didn't elaborate much on this. Most of this theory is also based on info of the first book, which is pretty logical considering Eddard Stark is still alive then and he is the one who is remembering all of this.

Now for my personal input for the credibility of this theory. Jon Snow is regularly tied to the color white. I mean he is called 'snow', which is white. His dire wolf is an albino. His sword was ornamented with a white wolf. And what does Daenerys have? She has has got three dragons of which one is completely white.

Now it's never stated how Lyanna exactly died, only that she has been found in a pool of blood, which could easily be of childbirth. Any childbirth is potentially lethal for a woman, even more so in a world with a Middle-Ages theme and that apparently there was no one there to help here wouldn't be good for her either.

This also can be used as an explanation as why Eddard Stark has always been so adamant about not killing Daenerys and her child. Of course it's not honorable to kill children, however assuming that Jon is really Rhaegar's child, well logically it must stress the hell out of him as when just the existence of Daenerys and Viserys on the other side of the world pisses him off beyond believe, how would he react when he realizes his best friend raised the child of Rhaegar and Lyanna, the woman he loved so much?

Now I assume if you read this far, you read all the books, so then you would also know that in the last book Jon got repeatedly stabbed. Now it's not...uncommon for Mr. Martin to kill even main characters off >.> *cough cough* still there are reasons to believe as why Jon will not die. For starters till know he has been the primary link with the wall and what lies behind it. If he dies, then who will be that link? But secondly more important his character has been built up way too much to be killed that easily. Even after Martin's standards it's unlikely that characters like Tyrion are going to die simply because they are too valuable to the story and their characters stories haven't been completely told yet. That promise Eddard made to his sister still has to be explained. If it's not Jon, then who or what? And it's not going to be solved if Jon dies.

If my hunch is correct I suspect that Jon will 'die' and when you die at the wall, to avoid becoming a blue-eyed zombie, you need to get burned and when that happens his 'dragonblood' will boil due to the fire and he will be 'reborn' with silver hair and potential violet eyes.

Finally I also noticed something myself in the first book. When Eddard left the brothel with Pinky after visiting the latest addition to king Roberts bastard-gang and subsequently before Jaime Lannister attacked them, resulting in Eddard breaking his leg, Eddard Stark was for some inexplicable reason asking himself the question whether Rhaegar Targaryen ever visited brothels. Why the hell would he think such a weird thing, unless of course he mirrors Rhaegar to Robert which leads indirectly to the bastards-issue.

Even with all that it might just all be a coincidence xd every northern bastard is called snow and that Jon's dire wolf is an albino might just have been a logical choice to make it obvious that he is different from his brothers and sisters. Still it remains a fact that the mystery of Jon's mother and the 'promise' Eddard made to his sister remain unsolved and neither of them have been elaborated much one since the first book. You need to keep in your mind that originally it was supposed to be a trilogy, but during the writing process he came to the realization that it would take more than 3 books to tell it all. However this does mean that in the least the first book was written in the assumption that everything would be solved in the next two books, hence another reason why so much info about this matter was in the first book. Because after that nothing much was mentioned about these problems, it means that what was originally to be mentioned in those books still has to be told.

Food for thought.

i completely agree Caliburn and from Eddard had a plan to keep Jon safe from the BS in the south ppl will say that oh he has no blood of the dragon....
i say and believe he is Azor Azai reincarnated. He is the prince of promise i think the link between the title A song of fire and ice relates to Jon especially when he has a dream fighting the others with the light bringer sword.
Bran on the other hand he still intrigues me he is beyond the wall and is learning ancient powers . is intresting
