Game Of Thrones: 15 Plot Threads The Show Totally Abandoned

Kinvara, High Priestess of the Red Temple of Volantis, the Flame of Truth, the Light of Wisdom, and First Servant of the Lord of Light only made one appearance in Game of Thrones, but she left a big impression - and not just because she's one of the few people who can give Daenerys a run for her money when it comes to titles.

As one of the Lord of Light's most high-ranking followers, she was set to play a big part in winning support for Daenerys all across Essos, proclaiming her the one who was promised and would lead them through the darkness.

Daenerys did play her part in The Long Night, before then arguably attempting to lead the world into a different kind of darkness, but what of Kinvara? We can assume that's who Melisandre went to see when she left Westeros, but other than that we're left with zero knowledge of what her character did or any actions she might've taken to aid Daenerys, which is a bit of a gap when you consider Melisandre's own power-set.

There is even a theory now that Kinvara will resurrect Daenerys, with Drogon flying her body to Volantis, which is almost certainly not the case, but speaks to her power and lack of resolution.
