En sång av is och eld

Nattvaktens trettonde Lord Commander utropade henne sin drottning efter att han kallade sig kung. Så, medan "Nattdrottningen" aldrig är en titel som uttryckligen ges, kan det lätt utläsas att drottningen av "Nattens kung" skulle kallas det.

The gathering gloom put Bran in mind of another of Old Nan's stories, the tale of Night's King. He had been the thirteenth man to lead the Night's Watch, she said; a warrior who knew no fear. "And that was the fault in him," she would add, "for all men must know fear." A woman was his downfall; a woman glimpsed from atop the Wall, with skin as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars. Fearing nothing, he chased her and caught her and loved her, though her skin was cold as ice, and when he gave his seed to her he gave his soul as well.

He brought her back to the Nightfort and proclaimed her a queen and himself her king, and with strange sorceries he bound his Sworn Brothers to his will. For thirteen years they had ruled, Night's King and his corpse queen, till finally the Stark of Winterfell and Joramun of the wildlings had joined to free the Watch from bondage. After his fall, when it was found he had been sacrificing to the Others, all records of Night's King had been destroyed, his very name forbidden.

Så att återskapa den historia som Bran vet från Old Nan ...

• Trettonde Lord Commander of Night's Watch blev kär i en kvinna med "hud så kall som is och blå ögon".
• Tillbringade henne tillbaka till väggen där han proklamerade dem kung och drottning.
• Använd magi för att kontrollera de andra Bröderna tills deras nederlag.

Maestrarna har hört och spelat in samma historia, även om de erbjuder lite mer insikt om hur legenden kan ha börjat.

The oldest of these tales concern the legendary Night's King, the thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, who was alleged to have bedded a sorceress pale as a corpse and declared himself a king. For thirteen years the Night's King and his "corpse queen" ruled together, before King of Winter, Brandon the Breaker, (in alliance, it is said, with the King-Beyond-the-Wall, Joramun) brought them down. Thereafter, he obliterated the Night's King's very name from memory.

In the Citadel, the archmaesters largely dismiss these tales—though some allow that there may have been a Lord Commander who attempted to carve out a kingdom for himself in the earliest days of the Watch. Some suggest that perhaps the corpse queen was a woman of the Barrowlands, a daughter of the Barrow King who was then a power in his own right, and oft associated with graves.

Så Maesters kan svara på din fråga om att den sanna identiteten av "Night's Queen" är att hon bara var en "Barrowlands Princess".

Game of Thrones

Den enda omnämningen av "Night's Queen" i serien är faktiskt från en av historierna & Lore-videor, så långt jag vet är ingenting nämnt i de viktigaste episoderna.

We Free Folk have our stories, too. About how one of your king crows found something cold in the woods... with bright blue eyes. How he brought her home, through your wall, and declared himself "Night's King". For thirteen years he and his queen ruled over his brothers, making sacrifices as black as their cloaks. Lucky for you southerners, the Free Folk rallied to a King-Beyond-the-Wall, as we will when need be, and marched on the ancient castle he had taken as his own, the Nightfort. With the help of the Starks, we killed the demon and cleansed your precious watch. An' then they thanked us, an' kicked us back across the wall... as you always have.

Från det här vet vi allt om henne:

• hon var "kall"
• hon hade ljusblå ögon
• hon var nattkungens drottning
• Hon blev dödad av Free Folk and Starks

Från detta vet vi att hon fick sin titel från att vara Nattkungens drottning, men det finns inga bevis för att hon faktiskt hade den titeln. Från beskrivningen av henne kunde man säga att hon var en vit walker men vi vet inte säkert.
