Lord Randyll Tarly

• General Notes
  • 
    Lord of House Tarly, and Lord of Horn Hill, Randyll is the father of Samwell Tarly.  Randyll is a famed battle commander and wielder of Heartsbane, a Valyrian greatsword. He was disappointed in his gentle, timid firstborn son and did not want Samwell for his heir. When a younger son, Dickon, was born, Lord Tarly forced Samwell to join the Night's Watch.
    
    When House Tyrell joined its cause to Joffrey, Tarly was sent to deal with the Northern army attacking Duskendale. Tarly's army defeated the Stark force and restored order to the area. Tarly was last heard to be marching his forces from Maidenpool to Kings Landing to aid Mace Tyrell's force in rescuing Tyrell's daughter Margaery from imprisonment by the Faith.
