![]() To their credit, they sure know how to put up a tough fight, and week after week, the women of Westeros prove they are some of the sexiest girls around. The women in Game of Thrones don’t always gain the most footing while playing the game in fact, they’re often beaten down just as brutally and just as quickly as their male counterparts. Additionally, there are also exotic, magical women, such Daenerys Targaryen, who hatched three petrified dragon eggs by walking into a burning funeral pyre and Melisandre, the red women who brings a fiery, new form of sorcery to Westeros. There are mothers, like Catelyn Stark and Cersei Lannister, driven by their fierce love for their children as well as a numerous female warriors, princesses, and those who merely use their bodies’ to gain an upperhand. Honestly, I can’t get enough of this show and all of the incredible characters in it, especially the females. A Game of Thrones’ unique portrayal of women leaves no means of feminine power unexplored. The second season is in its final half and the suspense is building quickly. What's interesting is we never see an actual conclusion to her prophecies of Azor Ahai in the show.If you’re anything like me, you’re becoming rather obsessed with Game of Thrones right about now. Stannis and the majority of his household then converted to her religion, and she became a close adviser to Stannis himself, believing him to be the the Prince that was Promised of ancient prophecy the reincarnation of Azor Ahai.Īs we all know, a Red Priestess like Melisandre from Asshai has the ability to resurrect a person. Some years ago, she crossed the Narrow Sea, almost four centuries old, and came to the court of Lord Stannis Baratheon on the island stronghold of Dragonstone, to preach her faith. This same necklace also hides her ageing, presumably prolonging her life in the process. Melisandre wears a large ruby necklace that seems to glow whenever she performs her magic. Hailing from Asshai, a country located in the far east of the continent of Essos, she claims to wield powerful magical abilities, particularly the power of prophecy. As the Game of Thrones wiki explains of Melisandre: Originally born a slave in Essos centuries ago, Melisandre is a Red Priestess of the Lord of Light, a deity that is not widely worshiped in Westeros. To go forward you must go back, and to touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow."īut let's also consider the most well-known person from Asshai in Game of Thrones. This fan points to a key moment in the story, where Quaithe tells Dany, "To go north, you must journey south, to reach the west you must go east. ![]() The magic of Westeros isn’t connected to the magic in these lands. Bran sees dragons above the Shadowlands in his visions. The eggs Dany are given are reportedly from the Shadowlands beyond Asshai. There is no government that anyone knows of, only slaves and their masters. Melisandre notes that the magic power she feels at the wall is similar to that she feels in Asshai. Warlocks, spellbinders, shadowcasters, and the whole shebang are allowed to practice in Asshai. The whole area is rumored to be a land of shadows, demons, ghosts, and dragons (Except the dragons aren’t rumored, they are heavily implied). There is a corpse city called Stygi that nobody knows much about. The river runs black, no children live here and no animals or fruit survive. There’s a lot of ominous stuff about this region, you can read up on it more from the wiki. It is allegedly big enough to contain Kings Landing, Oldtown, Qarth, and Volantis combined, but its population is very small, that of an average market town. The city located where the Ash River meets the Jade Sea. ![]() Thus Asshai is often called Asshai by the Shadow. The Shadowlands are a massive region in which Asshai exists. One Reddit fan theory says that Drogon is taking Daenerys to Asshai, where she will be resurrected and become the Undead Dragon Queen of the Shadowlands.Īs this fan explains: Asshai is a port city on the easternmost side of the map in the Shadowlands. But what if there's a more interesting theory about where Drogon is going with Daenerys? The most obvious answer after the episode was that Drogon was flying Daenerys' body to Old Valyria, where he would lay her to rest with her ancestors. ![]()
