An Old 'Game Of Thrones' Fan Theory Could Well Be Coming True

It's quite rare that deep fan theories ever come to fruition, so much so that you'd think directors and writers genuinely read them and purposely do the opposite so people's hopes are built up and then broken down.

However, a certain Game of Thrones theory could well be coming true, and if so things could be getting even more epic than they already are.

Before we go any further, to stop any of you complaining about spoilers, getting angry despite the fact this article is clearly bound to give away a few things, just stop reading. Stop. Go and watch something on YouTube or something. Or ague with your friends over this poll:

Soon enough the series will come to its inevitable end, which will leave a lot of people disappointed, only seeking solitude in a DVD boxset, trying to relive the brilliance that once lit up their lives.

HBO showrunners David Benioff and D.B Weiss always knew what the ending would be, and therefore have done an excellent job of retelling George R. R. Martin's original story in such a way that builds anticipation for the finale.

Four years or so ago, when the show was in its third season, Reddit OneEyedCheshire submitted their Lightbringer theory, in which they focus on the prophecy of Azor Ahai.

Movie Plot says that the prophecy basically states that in order to save the world from White Walkers, a second coming of the mythical figure, Azor Ahai, will have to forge a special sword (Lightbringer) and drive it through the heart of the one he loves.

Since the full theory is in so much depth and any summary of it could well take away some of its magnificence, you can read it in full here:

And for those who can't be arsed, OneEyedCheshire put in a 'too long, didn't read' summary: "Winterfell is Lightbringer. Dany is Nissa Nissa. Jon Snow will be reborn of salt and smoke and become Lord of Winterfell, thus becoming Azor Ahai.

"A love story between him and Dany will develop, but he will end up joining Dany's soul (her last child, Drogon) to Winterfell to reforge Lightbringer and fight back the Others, thus giving Dany her third betrayal and giving the series a bittersweet ending."

Makes you think, doesn't it? Still, despite the effort that's gone into this theory, the poster does admit that it gets "a bit tinfoily" towards the end.
