Drogo Returns

Upon the stillbirth of her child, Mirri Maz Duur advised her that Drogo will return from his comatose state.

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before. (I:635)

This may be a curse—a complex way of saying “never.” Or as some fans note, it may have come true in the fifth book.

The sun likely refers to the Martell sigil of a sun and spear and Quentin Martell’s story in A Dance with Dragons. During Daenerys’s final chapter in the book, she notes that the Dothraki Sea is drying up in the onrushing autumn. The mountain-shaped pyramids of her city burn down and blow away in the wind. And she bleeds for the first time since she met Khal Drogo…It’s either menstruation or a miscarriage, either way suggesting she can become pregnant now. Drogo has already returned in the form of her dragon, his namesake. Or something more literal or in a dream state may occur, now that Daenerys is prepared to bear a living child. When asked if Daenerys is fertile again, Martin comments only, “I am sure Daenerys would like to know. Prophecy can be a tricky business.”18
