Dawn is the Original Ice: the Last Hero

Was Dawn, the ancestral sword of House Dayne, actually the original "Ice" of House Stark? Did a Stark last hero wield it as "Dragonsteel?" You may be surprised at the evidence!
The first in a series of 13 minute(-ish) videos that will boil down some of the main ideas in the larger Mythical Astronomy body of work, which can be found at lucifermeanslightbringer.com.

[@EldricDayne]

Original Ice is Dawn. Current Ice is lightbringer. Eldric shadowchaser, azor ahai, came from the great empire of the dawn wielding a dragon made sword. At some point, those sword were swapped. Dawn might have been the nights king sword. As azor ahai defeated him, he claimed his sword, and returned to starfall. For the next generations, the sword of the morning is the one who wields Dawn, because it brings the morning.

[@DavidLightbringer]

Yeah I like a lot of this, particularly the idea Dawn / OG Ice was originally the sword of the NK, and was taken from him. That gives us a good reason to keep it in the south, as far away from the north as possible.

Awesome ugly sweater xD

[@moniquegebeline4350]

Lucifer means Lightbringer Hmmm this is kind of a theme of GRRM characters too what’s good isn’t all good and what’s bad isn’t all Bad, I have a feeling those we think are villains will He hero’s and those who are hero’s will be villans lol, and I can’t shake it. It goes back to the original myth, as if the sun god who is a life giving ‘all father ‘ type of god did this horrible thing by piercing the moon and causing the long night.

[@markus_k]

@@DavidLightbringer I'm not really convinced. There are probably safer places to hide the sword then (maybe something like Naath, Lorath, the caves in Dorne, maybe even Oldtown).

[@sandorswolf3476]

I feel like there were a number of times that Jon mentioned how much he always wanted to wield Ice but knew it was impossible because Ned's sword wouldn't pass to him. Perhaps he was subconsciously drawn to/thinking of the original Ice instead....?

[@DavidLightbringer]

**insert Eddie Murphy tapping his forward knowingly gif**

[@kevlar1482]

Yeah, exactly. This is going to tie in SO nicely with the fact that Jon is the child of Arthur / Lyanna. Mwahaha, can't wait for it. GRRM is GENIUS.

All the work you have done for the series is so unique and eye opening. You have reveled many secrets and an overall understanding of ASOIAF, but I think more than that, you have discovered a way (Georges way rather) that each characters arc is laid out. And now that the story makes more sense we can guess at the many paths of the future ( when expectations are subverted it will be because their are so many options). Here's to your health!

Love the shorter videos! I suffer from a serious blood magic curse of losing my place whilst watching KZbin (on my phone) and having a hard time finding where I was. Accidentally sliding the bar forwards/backwards, youtube deciding to automatically update halfway through, phone knocking around in my pocket + being an all round clumsy person etc. This is *completely my fault* but I do appreciate only having to sort through 15 minutes of misplaced timestamps instead of 3 hrs 😂😂😂

[@DavidLightbringer]

Right on right on... you know I put all the streams up on a podcast feed, right? If you are listening on the go that's a lot easier than youtube. Just look up Mythical Astronomy of Ice and Fire for the main stuff, and Between 2 Weirwoods for those discussion panels. I'll have more short vids coming, but really it's just a different scale and scope. Of course there is a lot i can only really get into on the longer format, but it's fun to boil down the basic ideas and make a shorty too. :)

Another mention of 12 + 1 that I just noticed today in Book 1; a dozen men died at Drogo and Dany's wedding celebration. If you count the death of Drogo it would come to 13 deaths that eventually put Dany on her path (onto the pyre to birth the dragons) in many ways. No idea if anyone has ever pointed this one out before but I thought it was a good one. About to watch this now but I'm sure the content is great as always!

[@mauralee9987]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video!!!!!!! Makes a lot sense that the sword - Dawn could have been Ice and it was interesting that on the show, we saw a flash back at the tower of joy, when Ned went to check on Lyanna and laid a sword against the bed before he hurried to Lyanna’s side. Was the reason this was done for fan service or was it foreshadowing the need for the sword in season 8 to bring the dawn at the end of the long night?......will be interesting to see if this happens! I agree that it will have to be Jon to wield it! Would love to see more of these kind of videos! Thank you LML!!!!💜 (Love your costumes!)

[@SyrNarcissus]

That intro!! Great video

[@26artgirl]

I like this bite size LML, very tasty! LOL. Question: I wonder if Ice has any relationship to the swords of the Others, the description of their swords in the Prologue was very similar.

I saw the short video and forgot about the announcement so I figured it was a upload error. Glad to see you expanding your brand and I hope you find some new Mythheads with the lastest endeavor....

[@NihilRefertSubSole13]

the Ashara Dayne issue with Ned is somewhat a clue for your theory. the affair may not be true but something is sure connected between the Daynes and Starks

[@lyannabanna6917]

Old Nan's story (A+ credibility!) of The Last Hero accounts that his sword froze and shattered. He was lost and near death. Somehow in the nick of time, he connected with the Children of the Forest, who were clueless of metal technology. How do you think he got the super-sword Ice/Dawn? P.S. Thanks for the relatively brief and super-focused format. Even though I know you are very knowledgeable, I routinely skip watching all videos exceeding an hour. Less is more!!!

LML! Love the content mate! Doing a bang up job! Ive always felt like Dawn was the original Ice.

[@DavidLightbringer]

If Dawn is Ice, then I have to wonder about a connection to the mysteriously cold pond in the WF godswood, yeah. I can picture our last hero tempering it in that pond, perhaps, as Ned cleans Ice in the pond when the story opens

Hi LML I love your new video. I think you should edit your Mythical Astronomy & Symbolism video from Con of Thrones to introduce your point of view to budding "Myth Heads".

Just reading AGOT Dany lll and came across this line. Down in the shadow lands beyond Asshai, they say there are oceans of ghost grass, taller than a man on horseback with stalks as pale as milkglass. It murders all other grass and GLOWS IN THE DARK with spirits of the damned. Got me thinking if the Dawn is the original Ice, the flaming sword of hero’s aka Lightbringer then maybe it glows in the dark when the long night comes, giving it the look that it’s on fire, and it’s not a literal flaming sword. Just a thought.

[@TheDreamWyrm]

I've heard you talk about Thundarr the Barbarian, which is undeniably an inspiration for the world, one has only to watch the opening credits to see that. I mean even the main characters name and appearance is suggestive of Beric Dondarrion. But have you ever seen the opening for a cartoon called Blackstar? I had never heard of it before but I watched it and, well maybe I'm just starting to see Weirwoods, night kings and children of the forest everywhere but the imagery is there. The main character's name is Jon Blackstar and he wields half of a magic sword, the other half of which is wielded by the evil Overlord.

"Oh just let him get on with it."

[@karenmonger2754]

I think that the NK using an ice spear to bring down Viserion with radar skills and strength comparable to a F22 Raptor and the Starks sword being called ICE is not a coincidence. Winterfell, Starfall, The Daynes calling Edric NED in spite of Ned killing Arthur Dayne and not returning the body but bringing back the sword Jon was meant to have Longclaw was it really the family sword of the Mormonts? Jorah looked at it like he had never seen it.

[@DavidLightbringer]

Agree with a lot of that, though I think Longclaw is what it appears to be. It's pommel is made from a "pale stone," however, which could be foreshadowing of Jon wielding Dawn, which was made "from a pale stone of magical powers"

[@karenmonger2754]

@@DavidLightbringer The Mormonts supposedly had the sword for 500 years 100 years longer than the Starks had ICE who gifted them Bear Island that fact seems strange as rare and expensive as they were. Maybe the sword was at the wall waiting for Jon. There are so many unexplained events concerning the Tower of Joy. It seems like a grand plan to protect him at all costs and get him to the wall when the time came. To this point only Jon, Sam and Meera are the only ones that have killed WW's curious Meera and Jon have a connection to the TOJ and Hornhill is close by.

This video produced a weird theory in my head. In the Azor Ahai myth, what if Nissa Nissa was a dragon? The steel came from a meteorite, a dragon, and Azor plunged it into a dragon which are, "fire made flesh", making it doubly a dragon-steel sword. Targaryens are speculated to be even descended from peoples who had relations with dragons, so what if Azor Ahai was one of their earliest ancestors, a man with a dragon consort, or wife.

Its Vvagners inspiration for his famous opera where we get the phrase "it's not over till the fat lady sings " often a large woman singing in blonde braids and a " Viking helmet"... he kills the dragon fafnir with the starsword and takes the 1 ring and lays claim to the treasure of the Neibergerlands?spelling?

Im not so sure the Last Hero was a Stark. I always liked the idea that everyones favourite house was acctually the villains in that story. Sure, Dawn was the original Ice, wielded by the Nights King, but the Last Hero was a Dayne, who defeated the Nights King, ended the Long Night, and took the sword to Starfall and named it Dawn, and created the title Sword of the Morning. But the Nights King was after the Long Night people will say, and the Nights King was defeated by his brother, Im not sure about that either, the timeline is extremely uncertain at least until the Andals arrived with writing. And the Starks and the Daynes couldve been closely related back then, either by marriage, or by ties to the GEotD (Bloodstone Emperor = Stark, and Amethyst Empress = Dayne) This time a Stark, Jon, will take Dawn from an evil Dayne, Gerold, and end the Long Night 2.0, righting the wrongs of his ancester, the Nights King, inversing the last time. Nah, its just wishful thinking from me, fanfic, but I do love to fantasize about all this stuff :D

[@paulbarry3400]

One question has me always puzzled with this. That knowledge of 'the name it bore was much older' came from Catelyn’s POV, so she knows this? You’d think maybe the knowledge would pass down to the Lords of Winterfell, which would explain Ned returning the blade after Tower of Joy, but would they tell their wives? Their sons? Who else? Is it common knowledge?

[@DavidLightbringer]

So Catelyn only knows that there's an old tradition of Starks naming their sword ice, not necessarily what the specific origins of that tradition are. I would guess that the Starks themselves have forgotten the secret of Dawn... if anyone knows, it might be the Daynes, who strike me as stewards or keepers of the sword. Perhaps their house words will be a clue. Or perhaps John will simply end up with Dawn through circumstance, and we'll just use it without knowing its history, with George kind of leaving it for us to figure out. Or maybe Bran will discover the truth.

[@paulbarry3400]

Yeah fair enough. Though if Ned knew, and Ser Arthur, it could give Ser Arthur’s sad smile and Ned’s sadness in his voice when he says ‘no, now it ends’ an entire new meaning.

[@LusiaEyre]

The tradition in which Dawn is being lend to the most worthy worrior might stem from its origin? Whoever the Last Hero was, a Stark son or a nameless nobody, he pick up the sword (regardless of who was its owner) and brought the Dawn. He was them entrusted to keep the sword safe and thus took it as far as possible to the other end of Westeros. The Daynes became custodians of the Dawn and only let it be used by the most worthy (like the Hero was the worthy one, not the entitled one). We also don't know the House words of the Daynes which might mean they are spoilery (We bring the Dawn?). How much of such story would be remembered by current timeline is unknown. The Daynes seem to treat Dawn seriously. And if there are any Starfall legends or stories similar to the Long Night like at Winterfell, it would make Ser Arthur's involvement with Rhaegar more interesting. Like, he wasn't just following him because of oaths or friendship but he believed in Rhaegar's dreams and prophecies too. This would explain why he, the most famous of the Kingsguard spent a year on the sidelines with Lyanna (and Oswell). Lyanna was raised in Winterfell by the Old Nan more than anyone else (since her mother was dead and Nan seems to be the only woman there; I doubt she had a septa) and seemed very Northern. Would it be a stretch to assume that she believed Rhaegar as well? Out of that party only Oswell Whent seems the odd one out, more there for political maneuvering than supernatural stories. But a Targaryen, a Stark and a Dayne walked to a bar... Not to dismiss Oswell though, who was raised at Harrenhall, spooky, ghost infested and close to a bunch of weirwoods, perfect primer for prophecy chasing.

[@ericgrabowski3896]

Right . I wanted to ask - i might be a little ignorant of something but what about Ice I mean where are the two swords? Does Jaime have one on his way to Winterfell ? On the show any way? I know its a complete different story in the books. Do you think Ice could be put back together ? It just doesn't seem right that the Starks sword is not where it should be. Why of all swords you know? Probably doesn't mean much but its something I've always wondered about.
