But let’s not get too buried in the minutiae. Typically, the reborn Azor Ahai is known as the Prince Who Was Promised, although as with all things Game of Thrones, there are different interpretations some fans think the reincarnated Azor Ahai and the Prince are different prophecies. This week, we’re looking at the prophecy about Azor Ahai, a legendary Game of Thrones figure who may have saved Westeros from the previous coming of the undead White Walkers with his flaming sword Lightbringer, and theoretically will be reborn “amidst salt and smoke” to re-forge Lightbringer and save the land again. We aren’t asking what you think is going to happen on Game of Thrones, we’re asking: what do you most hope to see happen? That’s why there’s Game of Thrones Hope Chest, a new weekly poll where we put all our hopes together in one place. And yet we fans maintain hope that at least a few of the characters will reach a satisfying, well-deserved ending. It’s author and screenwriters prefer to build fan expectations, then overturn them for narrative impact - and sometimes for pure shock value. Game of Thrones has never been about giving readers or viewers what they most want.
