I saw a really good theory line-of-thought on YouTube by the Order of the Green Hand the other day. It detailed how we've actually seen the original Lightbringer already.

SPOILERS...?







Brandon of the Bloody Blade was the original Azor Ahai. He tempered the blade in the heart of Rose of Red Lake, creating the first dragonsteel blade the world had ever seen.

Being the father of Brandon the Builder, the blade became the ancestral Stark sword, Ice, and was passed down until the Andal invasions began. At that point a Stark lord took the blade across the sea to raid Andalos and dissuade future invasions, losing it in battle before returning.

The blade would eventually return to Westeros as well, though. This time in the hands of a minor Andal noble family...the Corbrays. Of course, being a new age and new owners the blade needed a new name: Lady Forlorn. It's quite the apt name when you consider the possibilities of its past. One last (probably defining) characteristic to note is the heart-shaped ruby in the pommel.

Draw what conclusions you may, but I found it pretty interesting.

I'm intrigued by the theory - it would be interesting if in some upcoming battle, Jon has to wield either Oathkeeper or Widow's Wail. Interesting in that the reforging undertaken by Tywin to make 2 Lannister swords, he kept the ruby motif for the Lion eye decorations in the swords' pommels.

(ETA: And it would perfectly fit A Song of Ice and Fire - if Ice was actually Lightbringer - when needed.)

So Lady Forlorn was the original Ice and the one Ned took to King's Landing was a replacement?
