Uma canção de gelo e fogo

The gathering gloom put Bran in mind of another of Old Nan's stories, the tale of Night's King. He had been the thirteenth man to lead the Night's Watch, she said; a warrior who knew no fear. "And that was the fault in him," she would add, "for all men must know fear." A woman was his downfall; a woman glimpsed from atop the Wall, with skin as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars. Fearing nothing, he chased her and caught her and loved her, though her skin was cold as ice, and when he gave his seed to her he gave his soul as well.

He brought her back to the Nightfort and proclaimed her a queen and himself her king, and with strange sorceries he bound his Sworn Brothers to his will. For thirteen years they had ruled, Night's King and his corpse queen, till finally the Stark of Winterfell and Joramun of the wildlings had joined to free the Watch from bondage. After his fall, when it was found he had been sacrificing to the Others, all records of Night's King had been destroyed, his very name forbidden.

Então, para recapitular a história que Bran conhece da Velha Nan ...

• Décimo Terceiro Senhor Comandante da Patrulha da Noite se apaixonou por uma mulher com "pele fria como gelo e olhos azuis".
• Trouxe-a de volta para a Muralha, onde ele proclamou rei e rainha.
• Usava magia para controlar os outros irmãos até a derrota.

Os Maesters ouviram e gravaram a mesma história, embora eles ofereçam um pouco mais de como a lenda pode ter começado.

The oldest of these tales concern the legendary Night's King, the thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, who was alleged to have bedded a sorceress pale as a corpse and declared himself a king. For thirteen years the Night's King and his "corpse queen" ruled together, before King of Winter, Brandon the Breaker, (in alliance, it is said, with the King-Beyond-the-Wall, Joramun) brought them down. Thereafter, he obliterated the Night's King's very name from memory.

In the Citadel, the archmaesters largely dismiss these tales—though some allow that there may have been a Lord Commander who attempted to carve out a kingdom for himself in the earliest days of the Watch. Some suggest that perhaps the corpse queen was a woman of the Barrowlands, a daughter of the Barrow King who was then a power in his own right, and oft associated with graves.

Assim, os Maesters podem responder a sua pergunta de que a verdadeira identidade da "Rainha da Noite" é que ela era apenas uma "Princesa Barrowlands".

Game of Thrones

A única menção da "Rainha da noite" na série é, na verdade, de uma das Histórias & Vídeos de conhecimento, até onde sei, nada é mencionado nos episódios principais.

We Free Folk have our stories, too. About how one of your king crows found something cold in the woods... with bright blue eyes. How he brought her home, through your wall, and declared himself "Night's King". For thirteen years he and his queen ruled over his brothers, making sacrifices as black as their cloaks. Lucky for you southerners, the Free Folk rallied to a King-Beyond-the-Wall, as we will when need be, and marched on the ancient castle he had taken as his own, the Nightfort. With the help of the Starks, we killed the demon and cleansed your precious watch. An' then they thanked us, an' kicked us back across the wall... as you always have.

A partir disso, tudo o que sabemos sobre ela é que:

• ela estava "fria"
• ela tinha olhos azuis brilhantes
• ela era a rainha do rei da noite
• ela foi morta pelo Free Folk e Starks

A partir disso, sabemos que ela conseguiu o título de rainha do rei da noite, embora não haja evidências de que ela tenha realmente esse título. A partir da descrição dela, pode-se dizer que ela era uma White Walker, mas não temos certeza.
