Game Of Thrones will broadcast Sunday its final of the series. We still do not know how the series will end. But over the course of the eight seasons, the HBO series has included subtle and not so subtle hints of what's going to happen. You will be forgiven if you have forgotten most of these prophecies and predictions, some of which were included in the books of George RR Martin which served as source for season 6.
But it is worthwhile to take stock now: what promises were
– Maggy the Frog
This comes from a flashback scene from Season 5, in which a witch (Maggy the Frog) tells her future to the young Cersei . After having tasted the blood of Cersei, Maggy predicts "you will never marry the prince" but "you will marry the king".
"You will be queen for a while, and another, younger, more beautiful one will come to reject you and take everything you care about," Maggy continued. "The king will have 20 children, and you will have three … The gold will be their crown, the gold, their shroud."
By the end of Sunday's episode, most of these acts had already become reality. Cersei did not marry Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, but King Robert Baratheon, who had a boat filled with children. Cersei had three children, all of whom died before her. We now know that Cersei will never give birth to his fourth child. And while she was queen "for a while", another "younger, more beautiful" -Daenerys – rejected her and took everything that was dear to her.
– Jaime and the Valonqar
This concerns the fortune described above by Maggy. While the HBO series forgets, Maggy says a little more in the books: "And when your tears have drowned, the valonqar will wrap his hands around your pale throat and smother the life."
Valonqar is the Upper Valyrian for "little brother" and for a large part of his life, Cersei considers his younger brother, Tyrion, with growing constancy and suspicion. Fans have also postulated that the valonqar could also be actually Jaime, born a few seconds after her.
Although the prophecy of the valonqar was not in the series, it came true a little, albeit with a twist. Cersei's last moments were spent with Jaime, who was lovingly holding his head, face and neck in his hands while they were crushed to death. And in another indirect way, Tyrion had something to do with Cersei's death; he was part of the Daenerys team after all, even though he had been trying to orchestrate a survival plan for Cersei and Jaime.

The HBO series also evokes the death of Jaime. In season 5, Bronn Jaime how he wants to die. Without hesitation, Jaime responds: "In the arms of the woman I love." You realized your wish, buddy! (Framed: Bronn said he wanted a boring death while his kids were bickering for his fortune.It is still possible to dream.
– Azor Ahai / The prince or princess who was Promised
We badociate these two titles, while the term "Azor Ahai" is more explicit in the books of George RR Martin, the HBO series includes enthusiasts of the Lord of Light who speak roughly of the "prince who was promised "- the one who will end the long night.
In the show, Melisandre provides most of the details: they are waiting for a hero who was born" in the midst of smoke and salt "and under a star Melisandre thinks originally that the prophecy refers to Stannis Baratheon, but she comes to recognize his folly.
In Season 7, she meets Daenerys and tells the dragon queen in Upper Valayrian : "The long night is coming in. Only the prince who was promised little Do not bring dawn. "Missandei (RIP) points out that the name is actually gender-neutral, so it could be the prince's or princess's action.
"And you believe that this prophecy refers to me?" Daenerys asks the red priestess.
"The prophecies are dangerous things," she replies. "I think you have a role to play, like another: the king of the North, Jon Snow."
Given their lineage and their birth stories, Daenerys and Jon Snow both seemed very likely candidates to the prophesied prince / princess. . But then, Arya killed the king of the night and ended the long night (which lasted about the duration of a normal night). The young Stark does not seem to satisfy the requirements of this prophecy, but as Melisandre notes, "prophecies are dangerous things"
– The death of Melisandre and Varys
Our girl didn & # 39; Everything is going well, but she predicts well with this: as Melisandre told Varys in season 7, "I must die in this strange country, just like you." Yes, and yes.
– The green eyes
Back in season 3, Melisandre catches Arya's face and proclaims: "I see a darkness in you and in this darkness, eyes are staring at me. Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, you'll close your eyes forever, we'll see each other again. "
They found themselves at the Battle of Winterfell and Melisandre reminded Arya of this prediction about the eyes. During the episode of Sunday, Arya had made several victims of high notoriety, including brown-eyed Walder Frey and Blue-eyed King Night. Cersei had green eyes and was on the list of victims Arya, but she died after the collapse of a building.
Daenerys seems to have green eyes, so the prediction could still happen. Or maybe not. This prophecy (if you can call it so) does not appear in the source, nor does the green eyes of Daenerys; she has violets in Martin's books. Still, it's a big topic to watch.
– "It is not so that it ends for you, brother"
It is less a pure prophecy and a threat (oblique promise). In season 7, Hound says straight to his zombie brother that his bizarre state of health does not kill him: "What did they do to you? That's no problem. This is not the question How it ends for you, brother You know who comes for you You always knew. "
While The Hound does not reveal exactly who will come to the Mountain, all this was a fairly obvious configuration for Cleganebowl, which eventually occurred during the Sunday episode.
– Dragon's Shadow on the King's Landing
In Season 4, Bran has a vision that includes the shadow of a flying dragon projected onto the sea. King's landing. We saw this same shadow in the Sunday episode followed by the dragon illuminating the city.
– Visions of the Red Guardian
Images of a dusty, cold, barren, and perhaps snowy hall in the red dungeon have arisen a few times. Bran sees it in his vision of Season 4, but more importantly, Daenerys in Season 2 in a vision that she had in the House of undead.
In his vision, Daenerys crosses the red dungeon with its ragged roof. She approaches the iron throne, which seems covered with snow, but stops clear and away when she hears what looks like her baby dragons. She crosses a corridor leading north of the wall and enters a bright and warm tent in which is her baby boo Khal Drogo and her baby.
Dany gives a moment to domestic happiness, then repeats what the witch has told. when the sun rises to the west and sets to the east, until the rivers dry up and the mountains blow like leaves. "Then she bounced back and went to get her dragons.
Why the snow? At the time, viewers might have supposed that it symbolized the long winter and the threat of the other side from the wall, which are no longer a concern, perhaps snow refers to Jon Snow taking the throne, which could still happen
Some fans also suggest that these Red Keep scenes describe a hall of the throne covered with ashes rather than snow, which would correspond to the destruction by fire of King's Landing.was it really the original intention?
