The cherry-red steel of the blade, which has a leather grip, is covered with jade-green flames. Melisandre proclaims that Stannis Baratheon is Azor Ahai come again, and she has Stannis withdraw a longsword which had been thrust into the breast of the Mother's statue. Melisandre, a red priestess, burns Dragonstone's wooden statues of the Seven in a pyre her ruby glows during the ceremony. It has been foretold in books from Asshai that when the stars bleed and the cold winds blow, Azor Ahai will be reborn as a warrior who draws the burning sword Lightbringer from a fire. Followers of R'hllor believe that Azor Ahai used the red sword to end the darkness. After steam poured from the beast's mouth and its eyes melted, its body burst into flame. Lightbringer was able to boil the blood of a monster when Azor Ahai thrust the sword through the belly of the beast. Īccording to the Jade Compendium by Colloquo Votar, Lightbringer was henceforth always as warm as Nissa Nissa had been, and that the blade burned fiery hot during battles. He drove his sword into her breast, her soul combining with the steel of the sword, creating Lightbringer, while her cry of anguish and ecstasy left a crack across the face of the moon. This time, Azor Ahai called for his wife, Nissa Nissa, and asked her to bare her breast. ![]() The third time, with a heavy heart, for he knew beforehand what he must do to finish the blade, he worked for a hundred days and nights until it was finished.

The second time he took fifty days and fifty nights to make the sword, even better than the first. Azor Ahai was not one to give up easily, so he started over. However, when he went to temper it in water, the sword broke. Īccording to the legend of Azor Ahai, he labored for thirty days and thirty nights to create a hero's sword. Lightbringer is associated with a great warrior-most commonly called Azor Ahai, but also Hyrkoon the Hero, Yin Tar, Neferion, and Eldric Shadowchaser in other cultures-who led the virtuous in battle when darkness lay over the known world, possibly the Long Night recalled by Westerosi.
