A Clash of Kings – Lightbringer
For today’s illustration Salladhor Saan tells Davos the story of Lightbringer.
I almost feel as if I’m doing reverse racebending here since Lucian Msamati’s performance in the HBO show was fantastic. However, the Lysini are so close to Valyrian stock, the Targaryens marry them every chance they got. So, with some reluctance, here’s the old rogue as described in the book.
I based the image behind Salladhor on old art to show just how ancient the story was. For better or for worse, I ended up mixing my references. So, Azor Ahai looks like he came from an Assyrian frieze and Nissa Nissa from a Mycenaean mural.
