Game of Thrones fan theories are wild, my friends. If you’re a part of the fandom, or even if you’re just a casual fan, chances are you’ve heard some pretty wacky stuff. One of the biggest fan theory speculations swirls around Azor Ahai, a legendary figure in the faith of R’hllor, the Lord of Light.

According to A Song Of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF) lore, Azor Ahai forged a sword called the Lightbringer which he used to defeat the darkness of the Great Other–the god of darkness and his children (the White Walkers).

Azor had three tries to forge the sword, the first in which it shattered once cooled with water, another in which he thrust it into a lion, and the final when he thrust it into his greatest love, Nissa Nissa, trapping her soul inside the blade and making it a mythical weapon. Prophecy claims that he will be reborn as The Prince That Was Promised.

So, now that we’ve got the background story out of the way, the new theory according to Reddit fan poseidonwaves is that Jaime Lannister is the reborn Azor Ahai and he will defeat the Night King, putting an end to the long night.

The theory states that Jaime and Cersei are actually Targaryens, their real father being King Aerys aka the Mad King.
