Potential
Spoilers Below
I keep telling everyone that
similarities between The Wheel of Time (TWOT) and A Song of Ice and Fire
(ASOIAF) are vast even if there are those out there that say otherwise.
Per an interview Benioff tell
us all a little about the Night King.
"I
don’t think of him as evil, I think of him as Death,” Benioff told EW. “And that’s what he
wants — for all of us. It’s why he was created and that’s what he’s after.”
Below
is what I have been telling you all about the Night King:
Suddenly, it occurred to her that this fellow knew a great deal for a Friend
of the Dark, especially one not many years past twenty.
He swung one leg over an arm of the chair, lounging insolently under her
scrutiny. Graendal might have snatched him, if he had any position or
power; only too strong a chin kept him from being pretty enough. She did not think
she had ever seen eyes so blue. With
his insolence in her very face and what she had had to endure at Shaidar
Haran’s hands so fresh, with the Source calling
her and the Myrddraal gone, she considered teaching this young Friend of
the Dark a sharp lesson. The fact that her clothes were grimy added their part;
she herself smelled faintly of the perfume in the wash water, but she had had
no way to clean the rough woolen dress in which she fled Egwene
al’Vere, with its rips from her journey down to the Pit.
Prudence prevailed—this room must be close to Shayol
Ghul—but barely.
“What is
your name?” she demanded. “Do you have any
idea who you are speaking to?”
Moghedien gasped. Not for the name; any fool could call himself Death.
But a tiny black fleck, just large enough to see, floated straight across one
of those blue eyes and then across the other in the same line. This Moridin had
tapped into the True
Power, and more than once. Much more. She knew that some
men who could channel survived in this time aside from al’Thor—this
fellow was much of a size with al’Thor—but she had not expected the Great Lord
to allow one that particular honor. An honor with a bite, as any of the Chosen knew. In the long run, the True Power was far more
addictive than the One Power; a strong will could hold
down the desire to draw more saidar or saidin,
but she herself did not believe the will existed strong enough to resist the
True Power, not once the saa appeared in your eyes. The final price was
different, but no less terrible.
In the
Wheel of Time the Dark One promised
Elan the following. Know that Moridin was known by numerous names
throughout the series; but his true name was Elan Morin Tedronai.
IT IS
WHAT YOU PROMISED ELAN, Rand said. YOU PROMISED HIM AN END TO
EXISTENCE.
I OFFER
IT TO YOU, TOO, the Dark
One replied. AND
TO ALL MEN. YOU WANTED PEACE. I GIVE IT TO YOU. THE PEACE OF THE VOID THAT YOU
SO OFTEN SEEK. I GIVE YOU NOTHING AND EVERYTHING.
So, I don’t think any of this
is coincidence. The Night King as I have
told you all before was based upon Moridin.
The reason his eyes were blue is because of Moghedien thinking “She did not think
she had ever seen eyes so blue”. The
reason why he has “King” in his name is because of Rand’s thoughts
of Moridin, for the first time, seeing him covered in dust:
He burst out into a street before he knew it, stumbling three steps
before stopping. The pain in his side made him want to bend over, but he
thought his legs might give way if he did. His wounded foot throbbed; it seemed
a year ago that that red wire of Fire and Air had stabbed his heel.
His rescuer stood watching him; covered with dust head to toe, the fellow managed to look a king.
I think
the reason why they think of him as “Death” is because that is exactly what the character who I say he is
based upon name actually translates to in the Old Tongue. What do you think?

Comments encouraged. Love to hear the idea’s of others. Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m not open to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth. I simply look at the information presented and go from there. If you can shine a light on another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.
