Tbh I think it was like a magic ritual sacrifice whit her son+drogo+maegi that paid for the 3 dragons...similar to the burning that does Melisandre
it might be the combination of both. I don't know much about Volcryn, but I doubt that they would be able to do it on their own, without even comming down to the surface of planetos. however many targaryens tried the simmilair technique as Danny and at summerhall, there were many sacrifices to let the dragons with their father live. yet none of these experiments succeeded because there weren't these Volcryn creatures near when it happened
Dont forget his horse!
3 lives taken for 3 hatchlings. Magical equation balanced. ✨ Sounds about right.
Only death may pay for life.
It was openly blood magic as described in the series
I thought it was because 3 lives were given for the dragons. Drogo, Rhaego, and the sorceress.
Yes. It is known 🙌🏾
@laughingstorm7909 it is known.
so was it rhllor or the comet
@@user-vc5qg6we3v it was the blood magic. This is confirmed by GRRM.
This thery is more logical.
Aerion drank wildfire because he thought he was a dragon himself and he wanted to reach his final form. He wasn’t trying to “hatch” a dragon. He thought he was the literal dragon.
I wonder if he added fire too lolz
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Aerion: You fool! This is not even my final form! *cugs wildfire
Yeah Aerion was an idiot
Yeah that's true but they did try everything to hatch dragon eggs
Aerion Brightflame didn't get himself killed trying to hatch dragons.. He drank f*cking wildfire to try and become one. It is known
Edit: You all pass the vibe check by the way 😂
It is known
Oh Aerion Brightflame was Aerion the Monstrous?
It is known
It is known
Yes it is known
Everything is in 3s with dany. That was what she learned in the house of the undying. She gave 3 lives and recieved 3 dragons. I assumed the comet came because of her dragons. They brought magic back to the world. In book 2 in kings landing the alchemist basically says to Tyrion how they have been able to make a lot more wildfire than they have in years and that it's far more potent than normal and how odd it is bc that's not been historically possible since dragons exsisted in the realm. Also the undying told dany the comet brought her to them. All this suggested to me the dragons are key to magic flurishing in the world again.
If that is the case, perhaps we can expect the series' climax to hit with a fight for the throne between Daenerys, Young Griff (claiming to be (if not actually) Rhaegar's first son), and Jon Snow (Rhaegar's second son)? "The dragon has three heads" has been a strong theme for Dany, so I see that being possible.
well its all speculation but the comet couldnt have come because of the dragons. If you go back and read the chapter the comet is already in the sky before the pyre is lit so it was already in the sky before the dragons were born.
@@rachelfox8108also i saw someone saying that george intended the ending to be a 2nd dance of the dragons, so 3 targaryen children, each one of them with a dragon, would fit that
@@DanielMedina-pt9ej Absolutely. If we argue that one had something to do with the other, the comet caused the dragons -- not the other way around.
“the dragon has 3 heads”
It's still her that birth the dragons. She just needed the right circumstances. Grrm said what she did was "a miracle" that will never happen again. Plus aerion drank wildfire because he thought it would turn him into a dragon, He didn't try to wake dragon eggs. Grrm has also talked about the magic in the series. Over the course of the first book we see dany slowly and gradually learn what she needed to wake dragons from eggs. Another thing you can use to know she was the one who did this, was that grrm contrasted her waking the dragons to the story doreah tells her about the origin of dragons.
The MOON was an egg that wondered too close to the SUN and then it cracked and out poured dragons.
Dany who was called MOON of my life, wondered too close to drogo's pyre (Drogo was known as SUN and stars) That was the circumstance that allowed the birth of the dragons.
Also the comet was used as a sign of the return of dragons. Dany was the one who brought the magic back into the world which is why the warlocks tried to kill her to take that power.
Thank youuuu. Also the Comet clearly has a part to play but what you said is also just as important! There’s also the three sacrifices that were made, which also has a part to play. It’s clear that what George means by a miracle is that all these thing happened at the right time and at the right moment and they all have a part to play in why she was able to do what she did. All the information is there some people lack critical thinking to understand it though 😅
Ugh why on earth do people keep saying dragons or Dany brought back magic???? Dragons = fire magic. White Walkers = ice magic. The books series is called A Song of Ice and Fire. Season 1 opens with the White Walkers already very strong. Magic has been back way before the dragons hatched.
@@AriaIsarawe're clearly talking about the books & it's stated several times that dragons brought magic back to the world. It's also shown, like stated in the video, that after the dragons return, magic is more prevalent in the world.
@@FathersUnited-fu then explain why the Others are fully active when book 1 starts.
I also suggest you watch videos analyzing the books. The fact that some characters believe dragons brought magic back does NOT mean it's true, it's just something people wrongly believe the same way most characters in the books think the Others aren't real.
Dany discovered in the beginning of the show that she could barely feel heat. Before the comet.
Show, not book
Ye in the book she's not immune to fire
Yeah that's a show only thing
@@thedreamscripter4002for a bookgeek you cant read for shit, Evan clearly wrote down he was talking about the show.😂😂😂😂
@@taravinders3710 For a human being you can't use your brain properly, the video literally starts with "Did you know, in the books", describing the content exactly in the books - and the whole theory discussed thus based on the book's content, not show's one.
Idk. I always thought that Dany did not burned in Khal Drogo's pyre because of the witch she burned. I always thought it was intentional and it served some sort of catalysts so she would be protected from the fire while the dragons hatch.
But she walked out of another fire too, so explain to me how she didn’t get burned up in that one? You know, in season 4 I think. It was the fire that she burned all the horse lords in????
It was shown early in the series that she can't be burned. The witch did serve a purpose because only death can pay for life. If she wouldn't have done that to her the eggs wouldn't have hatched.
@@cali.girllivinnnevada8season 6 ep 4
@@cali.girllivinnnevada8In the show, the targaryens being fireproof is taken much more literally for some reason. In the books however, the author has said that Dany walking out of the fire unburned is more of a miracle, or a one-time thing.
@@benswollo6823did her killing the khals in the hut not happen in the books, or happen differently?
Fact: Sozin's commet powers fire bending.
True!
Then everything changed when the lore drops attacked
Azula is a R'hlor worshiper
Kinda wrong tbh:
The tragedy at Summerhall did birth a dragon, Rhaegar - "the last dragon"
he was only called the last dragon because he was the last Targaryen warrior lol
@@DanielMedina-pt9ej ha technically right and it’s the type of twist of a prophecy George likes but it def wasn’t the kind of dragon he was trying to birth hs
That's a mockery more than a title. As you know rhaegar went down as a joke who got high of his own sense of self importance.
@@MagicSecretsandMysteries Nah. Ghost of High Heart pretty much told him the future in exchange for a solo live show (Rhaegar sang to her at Summerhall).
He did what she said - but maybe he wouldn't have done it if he knew the outcome (his / his love's death).
@100Wilbur999 prophesy are a fickle thing. She gave him half truths and convinced him he's the chosen one. In his later years he realised he wasn't and tried to recreate the 3 heads of the dragon (thinking if he isn't god's gift to the world then one of his children must be) and got rhaenys, aegon and jon (instead of Visenya). He pretty much divided the 7 kingdoms and is untimately responsible for the divided lannister-controlled mess we see in the books.
His overinflated sense of self-importance inspired him to create/manufacture/fabricate the ptwp through his seed... it's doubtful he's right about his kids being tptwp since he's as delusional as melisandra. He is the most overrated, misunderstood character in the books. At face value, people say he was nobel, good and kind but when we put all these perspectives-tales of him together, and read between the lines we see through his actions and motives. We see a delusional character salivating over a prophesy which he goes to great lengths trying to manifest but in the process divides the entire continent into waring factions. He created the worst case scenario, all the good soldiers are fighting/dying and no one is preparing for the great war. Instead of creating the saviour, he made the savior(s) task of uniting the people more difficult
I'm a believer in the theory that she hatched 3 dragon eggs because she sacrificed 3 people on the funeral pyre. Drogo, Rhaego, and Mirri Maz Dur. Sacrificing three people plus herself, she didn't understand at the time but that has to be strong magic.
Another thing to think about is when Mirri Maz Dur is being burnt n the pyre she's singing some song (probably her death song). If her sacrifice does correlate into a dragon then she was the only one of the 3 who died and came back as a white... Foreshadowing or coincidence??
Then why wouldn’t it have worked for Aegon V? Technically he did sacrifice a lot of his family and Duncan the tall. Rhaegar was born but I’m sure the house would’ve preferred actual dragons 😂
Oh yeah because rhaegal=rhaego, khal drogo=drogon... And viserion, the zombie witch dragon. I love that kind of detail because it's very likely george DID think of that. Although viserion isn't dead in the books yet
i think i saw a theory years back that Drogo kept Viserys’ spirit with him, so his spirit was also included in the pyre. So Drogo’s spirit caused Drogon, Viserys caused Viserion, and Rhaego caused Rhaegal. i think the theory included MMM causing Dany to live but i’m not sure. i like the theory but i think it does kind of fall apart went it comes to Daenerys surviving.
Same thoughts bruv
Pretty sure she named Viserion after Viserys, her brother.
I do remember george saying this was a one time event as Targareans are fire resistant not fire proof like the show thinks. If that was true get every Targarean to be flame bombers in war and you'd never lose.
Im sure like the pyre dany awakened some magic to protect herself while using the lady forgot her name as a sacrifice due to her praying a spell.
True as George said it was a unique event plus it was also blood magic Danny's stillborn dragon baby was also put on the pyre the comit was the 1st star of the evening Danny said she couldn't have asked for a stronger sign as it was prophesied waking dragons from stone Maester Aemon said it was Daenerys Who fulfilled the prophecy
@@cherylbaxter8986 yeah it'd been a while so I'm a bit fuzzy on some of he details.
I think Dany made the ultimate sacrifice and that is what “awakened” this magic. 3 lives, one of them being her child, and her own life when she stepped into the fire.
@@rai2423 Mary Drogo and her son would be three lives for three dragons. His and her son's souls were still around.
Or viserys as dany did name one after her brother and he's a Mama's boy so he's similar to her brother. Either way she had enough souls
@@ivanbluecool I agree that the three lives were Drogo’s, Rhaego’s and Miri’s (or maybe Viserys’) but I also think her walking into the pyre is what “sealed the deal”.
That or bloodmagic. See my theory was blood magic. Drogon was born from Drogo's death as exchange. Her child was another. And her brother. Bloodmagic tied to her as she believes these are the things she sacrifices for her future pretty much. And she also burned the servants with Khal Drogo. So the essence and the magic of sacrifices Dany had given made the dragons stir and hatch.
She did, and GRRM has veen very clear about that. The comet is most likely an omen of some sort.
It's part of the azor ahai prophecy.
@@bananaforscale1283 The Bleeding Red Star is actually Melisandre
I would like to point out that Dany hatched the eggs in the final chapter of the first book - A Game of Thrones at which point the red comet had not arrived.
That's what i remember! I was searching for this comment
And I would like to point out that if you go back and read the last chapter of A Game of Thrones you'll discover that you're wrong. Dany sees the comet literally right before they light the pyre. This is a direct quote from the chapter page 804: "The first star was a comet, burning red. Bloodred: fire red the dragons tail. She could not have asked for a stronger sign. Dany took the torch from Aggo's hand and thrust it between the logs."
@@DanielMedina-pt9ej ahhh I see, what do you think of the idea that dany can manifest her desires? Like she imagined what the eggs would look like and their names very early on.
@@cujcrew9497 Well she never imagined their names but she did have alot of seemingly prophetic dreams in the first book. I think shes a dragon dreamer and was picked by the Red god to bring fire magic back in the form of dragons.
Not sure why you get 60 thumbs up for being so wrong. As pointed out by another, Dany sees the red comet as a sign to continue. Also in the Bran chapter where they confirm Neds death, Maester Lewyn is observing the red comet in the sky.
Bunch of braindeads voting up a braindead comment pshht unreal.
It's a combination of a lot of things that births Daenerys' dragons.
Their birth has been predicted by prophecy for a long time and a lot of Targyreans have destroyed themselves trying to chase that prophecy thinking it applied to them.
A lot of things just happened to finally line up perfectly for her dragons to hatch and signal a new age of magic in the world.
Exactly. Like George said, a miracle. I feel like if you pay good attention when reading the first book it’s pretty clear what all the different components were.
But the red comet is seen at the end of book 1, as she's burning Drogo lol. Plus she did show resistance to fire and heat before the pyre scene as well. Like someone else said, I think she just had higher than average(for targaryen) magic flowing through her
Targaryens like warmer temperatures and bathe in hot boiling water. However , they are not burn proof. Rhaneys Targaryen is burnt to a crisp by Sunfyre and becomes a pile of ashes. Rhaena Targaryen suffers from mysterious burn marks after returning from the east. The part Targaryen Quentyn Martell dies of burn wounds after 3 days of agony.
Daenerys herself is torched by Drogon in the fighting pits, losing her hair and clothes but not burned.
of course the commet would be seen at the moment of burning Drogo and not only after the eggs come to life. did you expect Volcryn to be able to do their magic even befor they get there? it was the right moment and the right place for both them and Danny I guess, since the fire was also needed as it was Fire and blood magic, not only blood.
@@Wolltazar i said that in response to the video, cuz they said it was 'seen at the beginning of book 2/season 2' even tho it was in book 1
@@SantomPh Also Jon Snow gets his hand burned in the books.
Wait. That means Haley (from the Modern Family series) was actually right when she said there were spaceships in Game of Thrones.
😂😂😂
There are also aliens. Look up the gem Stone emperors 👀
Brightflame died by drinking wildfire thinking it would turn him into a dragon
Before the red comet she didn’t burn her hands on the eggs when they were in the small camp fire and her servant did have burns.
Yeah she definitely has natural magic flowing through her more than the average Targaryen
Her simmering bathe didn’t affect her either
@@AndePants7376yes as she say's in her chapters just before the pyre event she had her bath with sented oils it was very Hot but Danny luved the heat made her feel clean soothed her pain from losing the baby
That's in the show, this does not happen in the books and this video IS about the books
@@cenoreira those scenes also took place in the books…. Before the Red Comet
I don’t think so. I think it was the magic in kings (kal) blood plus the baby also had kings and kal blood which is probably the same thing, add in the fire and poof dragons. if prophecies are true, then they can predict the future so they know what was going to happen. It doesn’t have to be a comet itself.🤷🏽♂️ that’s just me🤷🏽♂️
“King’s Blood” just means Valyrian blood though. I can’t imagine there was much Valyrian blood in Khal Drogo, if any. Blood magic & Targ dragon binding, both enhanced by the Volcryn is my bet.
rhollor hatched them to be used against the great other, he accepted the 3 lives of drogo, maegi and dannys son in return for the 3 dragons
Explains the Starks connection with dire wolves as well
I remember from 'Clash of the Kings' when Tyrion ordered to produce wildfire and it was going much quicker than in the past. Then someone asked him that any dragons were born? He meant that making wildfire requires magic and it's stronger when there are dragons in the world.
So, maybe dragons were born because of the comet but the magic has become stronger because of dragons.
I agree. Fire magic stronger because of dragons as they are fire magic themselves. But their hatching was probably possible only because of a cosmic event or cycle or because the Others were already in full force in the north and balance was needed like a yin & yang thing (ice magic vs fire magic)
I thought it was the dragons who brought magic back in the world. They're fire made flesh, and as they grow in strength, the magic properties of the world also increase, which in turn kinda just rejuvenates the dragons and other magical users.
Like a system reboot. The Red Comet kinda just represents the "loading screen". 😅
Dragons = fire magic. White Walkers = ice magic. The books series is called A Song of Ice and Fire. Season 1 opens with the White Walkers already very strong. Magic has been back way before the dragons hatched.
It is most likely a mix of both.
The Volcryn flying by but also the fact that the characters BELEIVE that magic exists.
Belief is a strong component in magic.
In the beginning, when their eggs were roasting on the fire when her brother was still alive. She picked them up with her hands And one of her servants saw and rushed to her and screamed khaleesi . The servants hands were burned But hers was not And that's the moment she found out she was the dragon . When her brother tried to cut out her unborn child from her belly Her husband dumped Melted down metal on his head and he died . He wasn't born with the gene of the Dragon . And that was way before her husband died . She always had the power Her brother didn't
I think this channel just needs content at this point
There are literal aliens in GOT now wtf
Not that odd for GRRM his various scifi stories tend to have a lot of ones that start as aperent fantasy stories with the tiwst being there on an alien planet and decendents of a crashed human ship.
Im not saying its true for ASOIAF but its not that far out of left field
You clearly haven’t read the books if you find that odd. There’s literally a story about some far away empire that was first ruled by a emperor that came down from the moon.
Cthulhu and Nuarlanthotep from H.P. Lovecraft mythos are implied to exist and Hastur The Yellow King from Chambers mythos (literally the earlier cosmic horror mythos in literature) is a literal God/Emperor of a city state. Magical Elf/Hobbits exist, most religions are based on actual existing entities (see above) and Valiryans are belived to be half human and half something else. Since the shared universe of Lovecraft+Howard+Smith was written before the separation of sci-fi and fantasy, when both genres where one and referred as weird tale (later on it became Heavy Metal) and GOT is heavily inspired by these, so I wouldn't really exclude aliens being canon.
Isn’t Westeros just a forgotten interregnum world though. I thought this was all but confirmed years ago, especially with the Pale Child of Bakkalon statue that is in the House of Black & White in Braavos.
Daenerys knew she wouldn't get burnt, intuitively. She didn't walk into the funeral pyre expecting to commit suicide.
No but the point is that she didn’t care if she would’ve died. I think her willingness to symbolically sacrifice herself is just as important as everything else that lead up to the hatching.
i think it also has to do with the fact that all the targaryens who have tried to bring dragons back before dany weren’t women who were pregnant or recently have birth like she was as a heard a theory talking about a connection between targaryen women pregnancies and their dragons and how that also played a role as did the comet and the three sacrifices she made of drogo, mirri and herself all playing a rol in enhancing the magic keeping her alive and bringing dragons in the world during this ritual
Danerys touched the eggs out of the fire and wasn't wounded, but her servant was. So she knew she wouldn't burn. But I heard in the books her hair burns, and this makes sense.
Now this is reaching lol
Yeah but I think it’s a fun take on religion and how we can always view ourselves as so important but really all that happened was some fun guy passed overhead. There is no magical blood making her mother of dragons and rightful heir and all of that story of the savior shit- just space squid passin through
Right!
True it's reaching
#cometisavolcryn
@dylananderson310 what are you even saying?, I didn't understand you
“Did you know” - proceeds to tell fringe theory based on lore from a completely different series
Weeeeell you might be surprised. Read some of GRRM’s Thousand World series, or skip all that and just Google “Pale Child of Bakkalon” for direct proof of the link.
So in the show, Osha was definitely right when she told Bran that comets only meant one thing, "dragons". I don't remember if she said it in the books cuz I only read AGOT once but I think she did.
We know that several comets have crashed onto Planetos (GOT’s Planet).
The most famous is the comet that the Bloodstone Emperor found and began worshipping. It’s believed the comet / alien is what caused the first long night.
Thoros of myr would like to say "hi" 😅
So it was a Yondu moment
Lmao
The sacrifices she made were Viserys, Rhaego and Drogo. In the book, Viserion's egg is "moving", "exhaling colors", described as somehow pulsing, after Viserys' death. She actually sacrificied them not in purpose to hatch her eggs (or unconsciously, as she had dragon dreams about it), they were loved ones for her and she reluctantly let them go. Thus, the sacrifices worked to birth the dragon. I saw a whole thread on reddit coming with this idea and it's really interesting. (i can't find it anymore, but credit goes to someone else than me)
I thought it was the sacrifice of Drogo, Rhaego and Mirri Maz Duur. Only death can pay for life. Possibly the comet enhanced the magic but I don't believe it's ever implied that it was strictly the comet, likely was the combination.
Lol. No. It’s cause Dany carries the dragon hatcher gene, which only females can carry. As it’s linked to the X-chromosome
For the people commenting about the dragons' names, they were named after her husband and brothers, not her son.
Drogo = Drogon
Viserion = Viserys
Rhaegal = Rhaegar
Her son is literally named after her brother so they kinda got it right.
It was a combination of the two. Daenerys visions revealed Valyrian Dragon Lore locked in her blood, and MMD teachings on blood magic and sacrificial magic gave her the method for rebirthing the dragons. BUT, the Volcryn amplified the ambient levels of magic in the world which gave her ritual the spark it needed to jumpstart. It might be seasonal, or it might've been a series of unfortunate events, but most magic (particularly fire magic) was dwindling in the world, to the point that big rituals like the birthing wouldn't work because there was no 'infrastructure' in place. For all we know the Summerhall Event might have actually worked if the Volcryn arrived sooner. But now that the dragons have been born, and other old sources of magic now aflame, all magic in the world is now thriving again. By appearances it just seems like Daenerys gets the credit for it (as the Warlocks of Quarth do also believe)
Danny was shown to have significant fire resistance from as early in the books as her second ever POV. That's not because of the volcryn. While the comet MAY be a huge factor in the hatching, it can't be the only one. My theory about dragons dying out is that the Maesters made the Targaryen books on dragon hatching, raising and caring 'disappear' over the years (hard to believe that Aegon and his sisters had no such books, or that they would not have written any themselves), so it got harder to do it right. Then poisoned the dragons like they did to some Targaryen women. Summerhall failed because no one knew how to do it and no eggs were left, and Daenerys lucked out with the comet substituting for things her ancestors did when hatching dragons.
you always have the worst takes. daenerys is obviously directly related to the birth of dragons. did you even read the books? this is develloped in every chapter of her in agot. stupid theory.
I love the Volcryn theory. It's just so stupid but has at least 5% legitimacy.
I don’t think that’s why. What was missing in previous attemps was the self-sacrifice element, that Dany fulfilled by walking into the pyre. The only other attempt we could speculate that had it was the Aegon V, but we don’t have any certainty of that.
I love the idea of Science Fiction fantasy actually being science fiction so I wholeheartedly agree
While I do think the dragons hatched because of the comic, I also think that Dany was necessary for them to hatch.
Oh boy🙄
I feel she kind of stumbled into a crude form of the Valyrian fire and blood magic of old. She „sacrificed“ a king, a sorceress and her son, who was not only part Valyrian, but also had king’s blood on both sides. By killing these three and burning them under a comet (that might’ve been magical but probably wasn’t a crossover from another book) she unleashed some very powerful blood magic
It’s said in the books that magic decreases when all the dragons are gone, right after the 3 dragons are borne magic gain power
It was Daenerys she made a soul pact . She put the fire inside her to hatch them . Btw nice theory. But if you hate her just tell no need to put false facts that doesn't make sense.
In the book she walked into the fire because she saw Viserion and Rhaegal with Drogon starting to hatch. Her walking into the fire wasn't needed for them to hatch.
For those who haven't read the books, Dany is the mother of dragons because she pulls a Caska and births a severely malformed human-dragon hybrid which is killed by Jorah in a moment of piety. Then it goes on just like the series with her burning the body of her child + Mirri and Drogo and with that ritual she "births" her triplets
The comet had nothing to do with hatching dragons, since it was quite common before the Dance Of The Dragons. Dragons appear to require ambient dragon energy to hatch, although how the process started is unknown.
Dayenerys always had immunity from fire. She would never get burnt.
No. GRRM has explicitly said that she's not immune to fire and that she only survived because of the special circumstances.
I love GRRM’s other works in 1,000 Worlds and he does use certain aspects from those novels in ASOIF and Night Flyers is one of my favorites along with Tuff Voyaging, and Sandkings to name a few
Something happend before the start of the book. Daenarys was having dragon dreams. Jojen was having green dreams. The starks found their direwolfs and were expiencing wolf dreams. And the white walkers had awoken all before the red comit. But i think Daenarys did perform blood magic at just the right time and knew how to do it because of her dragon dream. I dont think her dragons brought magic back to the world. I think she was able to hatch her dragons and the blood magic worked because of the timing that she did just as the red comit was arriving. I think the red comit just fanned the spark. Something else woke the white walkers and that was the first spark.
Preston Jacobs has a really good video about exactly how dragon eggs are hatched based on GRRM’s usage of genetics in previous books. Basically, the ability to hatch a dragon is genetic and only found in female Targaryens. The reason recent attempts to hatch dragons failed is because all attempts were made by male Targs without the gene and many without eggs.
That would explain why Danerys was fireproof, when other Targaryens haven't been.
I thought it was the sacrifice she made because we know that Targaryens used blood magic to hatch dragons anyway and they often give birth to deformed baby’s I just presumed it was that
Aerion bright flame drinks wild fire. It’s never mentioned that he tried to hatch eggs like Danny did as far as I’m aware.
Danny paid for the life of her dragons with the sacrifice of the lives of Drogo, Mirri Maz Duarr and her son Rheago.
She had kings blood to wake dragons from stone, viserys, rhaego and drogo. The comet is to herald her coming. She notes that the comet is a good sign which implies in her visions it wasnt a necessary ingredient
In the story they hatched eggs with heat, intense heat. They weren't stone eggs, but also dragon eggs don't have to hatch right away. I think they forgot how to hatch dragons along the way and magic and rituals didn't play a factor in her dragons hatching. The intensity of the heat hatched the eggs and magic returned with them. The meteor symbolizes the return of the dragons and magic. They reference how magic is increased near the dragons multiple times in the story
Also during this red comet, the alchemist at kings landing were able to produce more of the green fire bombs and they didn’t know why but said there was more magic or something( it’s been a while since I read the book
The idea that Aegon V succesed at summerhall, but the flames were too hot and the dragonlings burned with the all the Targaryen dragonlings 😢very sad
It wasn't Dany or the comet that did it. It was the blood magic ritual something none of the other Targaryens mentioned tried. It was also a one off thing and the only reason Dany didn’t die.
Wasn’t Dany immune to fire before the comet? Thats how it was in the show at least, they showed her getting into a super hot bath in the very first episode and then later she wasn’t burnt by the dragon egg in the fire but her servant was.
I dont think she would have burned if the magic wasnt present, but the eggs would not hatch. The blood of the dragon and the special/rare trait of being unburnable would still exist in dany because of the magic used by her ancestors
While reading the books it always felt like magic was returning across the world in a cyclic pattern. Wildfire more potent, Melisandre’s magic, Danny’s dragons, etc. I never tied it directly to the comet. More of a return to the coming struggle with the white walkers in the long winter. Long forgotten and the comet more an omen.
They used blood magic to control the first dragons so it’s only logical blood would be needed to bring them back. Plus maybe it had something to do with Danny herself.
She wouldn't have burned since she was a true dragon. It shows at the very beginning when she got into the hot water and didn’t feel uncomfortable or when she put the eggs on the fire and grabbed one, but her hands didn’t burn. Her servant held the egg and she got burn but Deanerys didn't. She also realized that her brother was not the last Dragon, she was.
Except she isn't the last Dragon either, Jon Snow is. So in that argument Dany should have been burned as well.
No it was Daenrys she figure it out that only death can pay for life and 3 heads of the dragon rider dragon and the person who died to birth a dragon
Hmm, interesting. But I dont think she would've burned though. The dragons may not have hatched, but early on you see her not able to get burned. It's an ability her brother Vasaeres thought he had, and Raegar did have. From what I've gathered. Sorry if my name spellings are off 😊
She used both King’s Blood in Khal Drogo and Rhaego and Priest blood in the sorceress. All blood that’s been either shown or described as special and having power.
The way you, Glidus and Alt Switft X say “in the bOoKs~” will always make me giggle
I thought the previous Targaeryans were just not good enough to be blood of the Dragon. Denaerys was already immune to extreme heat as shown by the maid trying to prevent her entering a bath that would have burnt her in the first scene we see her in.
But did Danerys also not burn when she killed the Council of Kahls?
Finally someone brings up the red comet ☄ prophecy!
3 lives - 3 Dragon's, I think she just stumbled into some of the magic the Valerions used to make the dragon in the first place, they did some dark things to create them. 3 lives - Drogo, Rhaeghal and the witch
Slight note: the comet appeared at the end of Game of Thones, not begining of Clash of Kings. Not significant, but what would nerds be without pointing out those kinds of details.
As for the theory, I like to think that the comet was just a comet and nothing more. We see basically every main character and loads of side characters ascribe different meanings to it, and I can't help to see the parallell to myths, legends and religions in our own world, where people drew different conclusions from similar signs, thinking they were signs from divinity, but then they turned out to be just natural phenomena. I think the dragons were hatched by the three sacrifices, combined with Dany's Targaryen blood involved
Tbh it's more like the magic she and her ancestors used was blood magic and sacrificing 3 humans (her husband her child and a witch) gave birth to dragons. The comet falls as a result of the dragons birth after. Melisandre also uses blood magic (the blood of kings).
Blood magic takes a lot less stretching and I'm going to go with that
Doesn’t explain why she isn’t hurt by fire. Earlier in the first season they took pains to show it (she bathed in scalding hot water, she took the dragon eggs from the hot coals and didn’t get burned while her handmaiden’s hands were). I think Dany may have some of the old magic of Valyria in her.
Yes the Meteor gave everyone enhanced Magic, the Pyromancers in tge Red Keep were saying their abilities has increased significantly & magic has become somewhat easy. But the reason Danerys's eggs hatched coz he sacrificed 3 ppl & unknowingly performed an Ancient blood magic.
I’m not so sure about that, for right after Daenerys gets her first dragon dream, she touches her eggs, and they feel warm in her fingers. And that wasn’t an imagination, for it happens again and again in following chapters.
Exactly! She can feel life and heat coming within the eggs
What about the part when she enters boiling water and does not get burned?
What part is that? Tha bath water is hardly boiling, if that's what you mean.
Night Flyers. I was so pissed when they canceled the series after only one season. I wish they hadn't.😢
Key word through this whole short. "Believed to be.."
I don’t think it was the comet so much as the sacrifice paid for the dragons births. Drogo, Rhaego & Mirri died to make way for the dragons lives. Dragons (and other supernatural creatures) seem to enhance the magic inherent in the ASOIAF universe. The comet seemed more so like a sign of Magic’s potency increasing in the world again.
I dont always agree with the theories in these videos but i love the fact that you talk about them anyway!
House Dayne and Azora High are directly connected to comets why we haven't really seen much about either is beyond me
In the books, she is talked to by some dragon type god through her dreams. This god tells her how to birth her dragons and if im not mistaken the source of her power (invulnerability to heat).
I don't think literal space aliens were the reason. It talks about life for a life, the deaths of her husband, child, and maegi were the lives demanded. Also the book explains the targaryens are part something else, not fully human, they have a little part of dragon in them, keeping them safe from flame. Throughout time and through generations, this trait became more and more diluted and rare.
I'm pretty sure it was because 3 lives were offered up to the Red God. Drogo, Viserys, and Rhaego (her unborn son). Hence the dragon names Drogo, Viscerion, and Rhaegal.
But one thing that contradicts everything on that pyre is that every born targaryen was given an egg, and a dragon was born from it. I doubt they had to wait for the comet in order to do so. Then, how did they do it then??
I thought it was because 3 (Drogo, Dany, and the Witch) lives were given to the flames, in turn the flames gave back 3 in the form of dragons and by the magic of her valyrian dragonlord blood dany was spared death and developed a deep bond with the dragons she sired as many of her blood line do when they hatch their eggs
Previous Targaryens didn't do exactly what Daenerys did. Egg tried, and was close, but ultimately failed as (it seems) Duncan wasn't able to let Rhaegar be sacrificed as her son, Rhaego was.
The Comet isn’t first seen in book 2 a clash of kings. it’s first seen in book one a game of thrones by Bran just before the raven comes with the news of Neds execution. The next person to see it is again in book one by Jhogo as they wait for the first stars of the night to appear so they can light Drogo’s funeral pyre. They see the comet first and they light the pyre when they see it.
