Ok so House Of The Dragon sets up some major things for the Prince Who Was Promised Prophecy which would end up coming to fruition in Game Of Thrones. Episode seven has a major moment in it in which Alicent cuts Rhaenyras hand and this could all tie everything together to bring things full circle in Game Of Thrones. As we've been saying every week it was thought that Jon Snow would be the one to fullfill the prophecy but in the end it was Arya. However there is a way it could all still come together and make sense whilst having Jon Snow not actually carry it out.

There's a number of things that connect it altogether and if you had issues with the way the prophecy played out in the Long Night then hopefully this at least saves some of the finale season for you.

Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking it all down and if you enjoy the video we'd massively appreciate the thumbs up. Also don't forget to subscribe for videos on the show wevery week and a big breakdown for the episodes right after they release.

Now firstly I have to give a huge shoutouts to our editor Matt who first noticd this tie in when we were editing our Episode 7 video. Since then we've been going over everything to talk about how the blood being on the blade stops things from contradicting.

For the first part of the video I wanna talk about what the prophecy is so you can kinda get a brief understanding of that before we delve into how the blade connects to it.

Now incase you don't know The Prince Who Was Promised Prophecy is what the Lord Of Light religion is based around and it was brought to the forefront by Aegon the Conqueror. He had a nightmare that showed a great force coming from the north and the only way to stop this was through his bloodline being on the throne. Though the word prince is often interpreted as being about a man it's important to bear in mind that the term comes from High Valeryon. In this language the word Prince is actually gender neutral and therefore there's been a number of candidates that could fit the role.

Hey everyone, as you can probably tell we're trialling in video subtitles on this. Let us know if you'd prefer it without. Thanks - Paul

The way I see it, it's not Arya, it's still Jon who fulfilled the prophecy. He alone united the factions against the white walkers which set key events in motion that will eventually lead to the fulfillment the prophecy. Arya's role was just a part in the bigger picture. In a somewhat similar fashion, Aegon conquered the realm in order to unite them against the walkers, due to the dream that he had. He only didn't know when the threat will happen, thus this prophecy was passed on from Targaryen to Targaryen until Rhaegar's son was born. It's like everything was fated.

As someone with a disability, I was over the moon to see you were making your content so inclusive for hearing impaired people. Thank you. It makes a world of difference to be able to enjoy the same content everybody else enjoys that we're so often excluded from (auto captions are usually atrocious. Especially for things like this.)

That dagger cut the hands of Catelyn Stark who was also protecting her child from bodily harm just as Rhaenyra was protecting hers

[TurtleNugget]

The blade is magic. When it cuts Rhaenyra it connects her bloodline. It was to be Jon or Daenarys, but the blade also cut Catelyn Stark, so Arya's blood was also tied into the prophecy. That's how it could be. Would explain a lot and make a nice story.

[SoulOnIce]

It's Jon. He mentions in Episode 8 that the Prince Who Was Promised will unite the North and the South against the Night. He didnt say the person had to be the one to literally kill him.

[DecAllTimeAlways]

I really like how this show is putting more emphasis on the kids like Cobra Kai does. The children play a huge role to this war. Their fight unfortunately mirrors their parents.

[fraliexb]

What I believe what is happening is when Aegon had the blade scribed with his secret message in Valerian; it actually "cursed" or like the blade took on the message as itself speaking it. So whosever blood was shed on the blade their family bloodline can fulfill the prophecy. Cat Stark's blood went across the blade, so that could include any of the Stark children.

I always thought that Arthur Dayne's sword "Dawn" was going to be the real "Lightbringer." As it was forged from metal from a falling star (meteorite), and has a blade described as "pale as milkglass." In Jon's birth scene on the show it even has blood on it making it the fit with the prophecy stating "when the red star bleeds" and they purposefully linger on it in that scene to infer Jon being born under a star. I thought for sure that when Jon was trying to give Longclaw to Jorah Mormont they were setting up him needing a new sword that could kill the night king and that Dawn would somehow end up in Jon's posession (perhaps the result of Bran's visions leading him to it).

[jamesb]

It was Jon Snow. Nobody knew that he was a Targaryen and heir to the throne. He was also resurrected because he had a destiny. That destiny was to unite all of the banners, assist in the defeat of the white walkers and to shake up the balance of power resulting in uniting the kingdoms under one King with the exception of his sister Sansa.

I still don't believe Arya will end The Long Night in the books, but it will be cool if they can more depth to it through the Targs

[stephaniemcgrane]

Just now noticing the mirroring of Rhaenyra and Catelyn stark both having their hands cut by the Valyrian steel dagger while both protecting their sons from said dagger.. Both incidents is the beginning of a war in Westros

[DecAllTimeAlways]

Pay attention to the motherhood between Rhaenyra and Alicent. Understand Aegon is only 13 and his own mother is terrorizing him. He's already turning to alcoholism.

[xjuanx]

Interesting theory. Have you ever considered, that when it's all said and done. Jon Snow technically got everyone on board with defeating the White Walkers. I mean, of course he didn't stick the knife in the Night King himself, but he did coral the troupes to defeat them. If Jon Snow hadn't done that, I believe the story would have turned for the worse IMO. Just another perspective to think about.

[VirtualShogun]

I've always liked the idea of prophecy heroes actually being multiple people playing a part.

[nurrnena]

Maybe why Arya could fulfill the prophecy with the dagger was that she had become no-one - letting the power of the dagger itself fulfill the prophecy without it being wielded by someone particular who was promised and may have ended up dead by that time

[lizageorge]

"Guy should be dead" was applicable at so many points in GoT lol

[frankmigliore]

Littlefinger is not the one who sent the assassin to Bran- it was Joffrey trying to impress his father, who drunkenly said the boy should be put out of his misery. Littlefinger lost the dagger in a bet with Robert. He would have had absolutely no reason to want to kill Bran, but when he learns the dagger was used, he sees it as an opportunity to create more distrust between the Starks and Lannisters.

[mclovin]

In the ASOIAF series, its revealed that Joffrey was the one who sent the assassin to kill Bran. It is referenced in the 4th book A Feast for Crows.

You didn’t mention the fact that Azor Ahai has to be of the blood of both Aerys II Targaryen (the Mad King) and Rhaella Targaryen (Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys’ mother). That means it can be either Jon Snow or Daenerys Targaryen
