‘Game of Thrones’ Most Mysterious Character Officially Returns This Month



[

July was certainly a rewarding month for fans of HBO’s acclaimed Game of Thrones franchise. Alongside new episodes of the highly anticipated House of the Dragon Season 3, the legendary fantasy universe also received several tie-in releases. One of them brought back one of its most overlooked characters: Jorah Mormont, the exiled knight and only son of the honorable Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, Jeor Mormont.

Portrayed by Iain Glen, Jorah survived until the final season of Game of Thrones but was killed before the series finale after being mortally wounded while defending Daenerys Targaryen during the Battle of Winterfell. Seven years later, the character returned in Kingsroad, the latest season of Zynga‘s Game of Thrones: Legends RPG, as part of a multi-week seasonal reward event. Now, the franchise is reviving another underexplored part of its mythology; this time shifting the focus from a character to one of the saga’s greatest mysteries.

R’hllor, better known as the Lord of Light, is the latest piece of Game of Thrones lore to return to the spotlight. The prominent god worshipped across much of Essos has only a small following in Westeros, where his influence has been seen through followers such as Melisandre and Thoros of Myr. Although he has largely remained one of the franchise’s greatest mysteries, the official Game of Thrones: Conquest website confirms that fans will have the chance to explore the Lord of Light’s mythology in greater depth with the launch of the Game of Thrones: Lord of Light event on August 7, 2026.





















































Collider Exclusive · Star Wars Quiz
Which Force User
Are You?

Light Side · Dark Side · Or Somewhere Between

The Force is not a binary. It is a spectrum — from the serene halls of the Jedi Temple to the shadowed corridors of Sith space. Ten questions will reveal where you truly fall. The Force has always known. Now you will too.

🔵Jedi Master

🟡Padawan

🔴Sith Lord

Inquisitor

Grey Jedi

01

What is the Force to you?
Your relationship with the Force defines everything else.




02

When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do?
The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently.




03

The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You:
How you handle authority reveals your alignment.




04

You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You:
The dark side’s pull is never more than a choice away.




05

Your approach to training and learning is:
A student’s habits become a master’s character.




06

In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects:
Combat is the purest expression of a Force user’s philosophy.




07

A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You:
Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment.




08

The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds:
The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy.




09

Why do you use the Force at all? What’s the point?
Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.




10

At the final moment — light side or dark side pulling at you — what wins?

Your Alignment Has Been Determined
Your Place in the Force

The scores below reveal how the Force sees you. Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means — and what it will cost you.

🔵
Jedi Master

🟡
Padawan

🔴
Sith Lord


Inquisitor


Grey Jedi

Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.

You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn’t whether you have what it takes — it’s whether you’ll be patient enough to find out.

You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side’s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.

You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.

You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don’t fully trust you. The Sith think you’re wasting your potential. They’re both partially right. But so are you.

The Lord of Light Finally Returns in ‘Game of Thrones’

The new Game of Thrones release is one of several featured PvP events running from August 7 through August 9 in the free-to-play 4X mobile strategy game, Game of Thrones: Conquest, as part of its History and Visions monthly event arc. During the limited-time event, players will battle rival kingdoms over three days while earning exclusive rewards tied to the new August campaign.

Warner Bros. Games has yet to reveal any gameplay mechanics unique to the Lord of Light event. However, its theme draws directly from the religion of R’hllor, whose followers played a crucial role in the fight against the White Walkers. Originally created by George R. R. Martin for A Song of Ice and Fire, R’hllor is believed to have created the sun and the stars and is locked in an eternal struggle against the Great Other for the fate of the world. According to the prophecy, that conflict will ultimately be decided when Azor Ahai, the legendary hero, is reborn.

Game of Thrones: Lord of Light launches in three days. Stay tuned to Collider for further updates from the iconic fantasy franchise.
