==Quotes== {{Quote|The first star was a comet, burning red. Bloodred; fire red; the [[dragon]]'s tail.{{ref|AGOT|72}}|[[Daenerys Targaryen]]'s thoughts}} {{Quote|The [[maester]] did not believe in omens. And yet ... old as he was, Cressen had never seen a comet half so bright, nor yet that color, that terrible color, the color of blood and flame and sunsets.{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|[[Cressen]]'s thoughts}} {{Quote|The thing in the sky is a comet, sweet child. A star with a tail, lost in the heavens. It will be gone soon enough, never to be seen again in our lifetimes. Watch and see.{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|[[Cressen]] to [[Shireen Baratheon]]}} {{Quote|This comet is sent to herald [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey's]] ascent to [[Iron Throne|the throne]], I have no doubt. It means that he will triumph over his enemies.{{Ref|ACOK|2}}|[[Arys Oakheart]] to [[Sansa Stark]]}} {{Quote|In the streets, they call it the Red Messenger. They say it comes as a herald before a king, to warn of fire and blood to follow.{{ref|ACOK|3}}|[[Varys]] to [[Tyrion Lannister]]}} {{quote|'''Catelyn''': The [[Jon Umber|Greatjon]] told [[Robb Stark|Robb]] that the [[old gods]] have unfurled a red flag of vengeance for [[Eddard Stark|Ned]]. [[Edmure Tully|Edmure]] thinks it's an omen of victory for [[Riverrun]]βhe sees a fish with a long tail, in the [[House Tully|Tully]] colors, red against blue. I wish I had their faith. Crimson is a [[House Lannister|Lannister]] color.<br>'''Brynden''': That thing's not crimson. Nor Tully red, the mud red of [[Red Fork|the river]]. That's blood up there, child, smeared across the sky.{{ref|ACOK|7}}|[[Catelyn Stark]] and [[Brynden Tully]]}} {{Quote|'''Aeron''': Every morning brings a new day, much like the old.<br>'''Theon''': In [[Riverrun]], they would tell you different. They say the red comet is a herald of a new age. A messenger from [[Faith of the Seven|the gods]].<br>'''Aeron''': A sign it is, but from our god, not theirs. A burning brand it is, such as [[ironborn|our people]] carried of old. It is the flame the [[Drowned God]] brought from the sea, and it proclaims a rising tide. It is time to hoist our sails and go forth into the world with [[Old Way|fire and sword]], as he did.{{Ref|ACOK|11}}|[[Aeron Greyjoy]] and [[Theon Greyjoy]]}} {{Quote|It is the herald of my coming. The gods have sent it to show me the way.{{Ref|ACOK|12}}|[[Daenerys Targaryen]]'s thoughts}} {{Quote|''Corruption!'' There is the warning! Behold the [[Father (the Seven)|Father's]] scourge! We have become swollen, bloated, foul. [[Jaime Lannister|Brother]] couples with [[Cersei Lannister|sister]] in the bed of kings, and the [[Joffrey Baratheon|fruit]] of their incest capers in his palace to the piping of a [[Tyrion Lannister|twisted little monkey demon]]. [[Selyse Florent|Highborn ladies]] [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 15|fornicate]] with [[Patchface|fools]] and give [[Shireen Baratheon|birth]] to [[Greyscale|monsters]]! Even the [[High Septon (fat one)|High Septon]] has forgotten [[Faith of the Seven|the gods]]! He bathes in scented waters and grows fat on lark and lamprey while his people starve! Pride comes before prayer, maggots rule our castles, and gold is all ... but ''no more''! The Rotten Summer is at an end, and the [[Robert I Baratheon|Whoremonger King]] is brought low! When the [[boar]] did open him, a great stench rose to heaven and a thousand [[snake]]s slid forth from his belly, hissing and biting! There comes the Harbinger! Cleanse yourselves, the gods cry out, lest ye be cleansed! Bathe in the wine of righteousness, or you shall be bathed in fire! ''Fire''!{{Ref|ACOK|20}}|[[Prophet (begging brother)|Prophet]] in [[King's Landing]]}} {{Quote|You are he who must stand against [[Great Other|the Other]]. The one whose coming was prophesied five thousand years ago. The red comet was your herald. You are [[the prince that was promised]], and if you fail [[known World|the world]] fails with you.{{ref|ASOS|63}}|[[Melisandre]] to [[Stannis Baratheon]]}}
