| abstract | - "The Prince That Was Promised", sometimes called "The Prince Who Was Promised" or "The One Who Was Promised", also known as the Lord's Chosen, the Son of Fire and the Warrior of Light, is a mythic figure in the religion of the Lord of Light. According to prophecy, this figure would be reborn "amidst salt and smoke" and pull a flaming sword from the flames, Lightbringer, to combat the coming darkness. According to Melisandre, a red priestess of the Lord of Light, Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone and self-proclaimed King of the Andals and the First Men, is the prophesied Prince. However, after Stannis is defeated in battle and Jon Snow, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, is raised from the dead, Melisandre claims Stannis was not the Prince, but "someone must be", suggesting she may now believe it is Jon. She later confirms her belief in Jon as the Prince Who Was Promised to Davos. Another Red Priestess, established in Volantis, preaches to a group of slaves and freedmen that Daenerys Targaryen is their prophesied savior. Kinvara, the High Priestess of the Red Temple of Volantis, is also certain that Daenerys is the one who was promised, citing her freeing of slaves and birthing of dragons from stone as evidence. She agrees to send her best priests and preachers throughout Essos, spreading the good word about the Queen.
