Selected reading
Melisandre of Asshai is a red priestess of R'hllor who serves Stannis Baratheon and interprets the world through visions, prophecy, and fire. Known as the red woman, she believes Stannis has a part to play in the struggle against darkness. Her influence reaches from Dragonstone to the Wall, where her visions and the meanings she gives them shape decisions with consequences far beyond her own faith.

“Father had only gone out to ransom Petyr Pimple. He brought them the gold they asked for, but they hung him anyway.” —Amerei “Gatehouse Ami” Frey
“Hanged, Ami. Your father was not a tapestry.” —Mariya Darry[4]
“Not that I would trust it. Gorghan of Old Ghis once wrote that a prophecy is like a treacherous woman. She takes your member in her mouth, and you moan with the pleasure of it and think, how sweet, how fine, how good this is . . . and then her teeth snap shut and your moans turn to screams. That is the nature of prophecy, said Gorghan. Prophecy will bite your prick off every time.” —Archmaester Marwyn[5]
