Is Bran Stark the Lord Of Light? This 'Game Of Thrones' theorist says it's "confirmed"

[Baitball Blogger]

George R.R. Martin apparently gave a "big clue" last year

The theory suggests that followers of Westeros deity the Lord of Light, who brought both Jon Snow and Beric Dondarrion back to life, believe he “has a ‘purpose’ for everyone. Consequently, everyone supposedly brought back by the Lord of Light helped Arya defeat the Night King.”

The theory also explains what exactly Bran was doing with his Warging powers during the Battle of Winterfell. “He was likely manipulating events to lead to the final conclusion,” it says. It also indicates why the Night King has such an obsession with killing the Three-Eyed Raven, if Bran Stark is also the Lord of Light.

“He put the key piece in play … All of the ‘magical Lord of Light moments’ that are supposedly the God’s work, are actually Bran manipulating the past, resurrecting people and making sure Arya got the knife and made it to kill the Night King.”

The theory sums it all up: “The simplest explanation to all of this… The Three-Eyed Raven is the Night King’s opposite. The Night King’s opposite is the Lord of Light. Therefore, Bran = the Lord of Light (or at least what people think is the Lord of Light due to the signs he brings).”

I've run out of acceptable paragraph quotes, but an interesting point was that George R.R. Martin said that Beric Dondarrion is a fire wight, or a wight brought back to life by fire, not ice. And that, the theory is that the Hound and Jon Snow are also fire wights for the same reason.

Which brings up an interesting point: If Bran is the God of Light, what outcome is he looking for in the Cersei vs. Dany conflict?

1. Interesting theory...

IF the rest of the story is just defeating Cersei, then it's a big let down. Hopefully the writers are creative enough to tie in Bran and the three eyed raven. My son thought that Bran will go north and become the new night king, but I like this idea better.

3. They are going to

Do a prequel show I bet that they will save all of the mythology sorts of is use for that

2. There goes the Jon Snow as king theory

He won't be king if he is just animated (nor would it make sense for Dany to be pregnant by him).

I didn't realize it was the dagger Bran gave her that did the deed. Things make more sense now, as does this theory. Don't think the Hound is a wight however. Jon and Berric were brought to life by the Lord of Light. Don't remember that happening to the Hound.

7. We really don't know how the Hound survived. It's a loose string in this theory.

But, Beric Dondarrion, who is the God of Light's servant, was as much on a mission to raising the Hound's sense of duty to protect Arya, as if he was in protecting her himself. Almost as if Beric knew it was as important, because he didn't have long in this world.

8. That would fit in with this theory

Yes and Beric was there with the Hound as they rushed to protect Arya when she was in trouble in the battle of Winterfell.

4. I'm open to anything.

Except Arya dying. I would hate that.

6. Def. If Arya dies, I'm inviting myself to George RR Martin's wife's Divorce Party.

5. My theory is:

The Hound and Ayra kill the Mountain.
Jamie kills Cersie.
Jon Snow kills Daenerys.

Just thoughts...

9. So he also brought his mom back?

Then Cat orders Brienne to either hang or kill Jaime.

People who haven't read the books will doubtlessly be unaware of this part...
