The The Throughout a song of ice and fire, there have been many prophecies, as well as stories, usually quite ancient, that serve as foreshadowing.

So we have a couple of different ways of George letting us know what's going to happen

and or letting the characters know what's going to happen through a bit of mystery.

On top of that, there's history books, scholarly sources and texts referring to some of those

same prophecies or stories, and sometimes they contain different information.

Some sources differ on which prophesied outcomes are actually good or evil or something else altogether,

something outside of the good evil paradigm, even.

Some sources wonder if what we've been told from thousands of years ago

is actually true. It's fun and exciting and mysterious and mystical, and there's a little bit of

anxiety behind it, too, but it's also pretty much impossible to keep track of it all, even for us

doing this full time. For example, what does Melisandra believe versus what is Quay's believe?

How does Brand's knowledge and that of past green shears and the wherewood network

stack up against that of Marwin or Macora or Rhaegar or any of the other characters I just mentioned?

Even the sources themselves don't have it all, right?

The Warewood Network doesn't have all the answers, nor do the books in Ashye.

Certainly no individual does.

The story of The Last Hero refers to others, the Long Night, the Children, the Knights Watch.

But there's no dragons in that story.

The story of Azora High mentions a great cold darkness.

It mentions dragons waking from stone. It mentions a red sword of heroes. There's no mention

of the others in that one, though. Melisandra is perhaps the character most focused on all this.

But she doesn't even know DeNaris exists, right? Danny, meanwhile, has been trying to figure out some of these things on her own.
