Personality & Character Edit

Lord Tarly's Suit of Armour Owner Lord Preston Tarly Description Green Plate Armour

As a boy he was taught discipline and leadership by his father, and archery and combat by Hornhill's Master-at-Arms Ser Addam Hunt. He has become the ideal member of House Tarly. He was taught the importance of commanding and governing, as a squire to Lord Rickard Rowan. At the age of 14 his father had made him a replica of Heartsbane in regular steel to train with so that Lord Preston can be familiar with the ancestral sword.

Lord Preston has a good sense of humour and likes to talk and joke with anyone willing to, but when it comes to war Lord Tarly has to command his people with total discipline.

He enjoys hunting with his friends and his soldiers and only returns home if he caught some game. He is loyal to his friends, and is infuriated by betrayals.

His method of executing criminals is letting them escape with a minute head start and landing an arrow straight into their chest. If they escaped he believes the gods have proven their innocence. Otherwise Lord Tarly just uses the legendary Valyrian Steel sword Heartsbane.

Background Edit

Early life Edit

When Lord Dalton returned from a visit from the Westerlands to Ashemark, his host was ambushed by a lioness, after it mauled one of his bannermen Lord Dalton quickly shot an arrow through the lion's chest and skinned it. When Lord Dalton returned to Hornhill Lord Preston was born and Lord Dalton wrapped him in the lioness' skin which he still has to this day.

He was a curious child that was amazed by the architecture in Oldtown and in Highgarden. He believed that when he grows up he too will build something as great as these buildings.

He was taught to continue the legacy of Herndon of the Horn and Harlon the Hunter the sons of Garth Greenhand, as was his duty as the son and heir to Hornhill.

His closest friend is Ser Addam Tarly, his cousin who is now the Master-at-Arms in Hornhill.

Lord Dalton's Demise Edit

In 95 AC Lord Dalton rode to Dorne to secure an alliance with Dorne by searching for a suitable bride for Lord Preston. When Lord Dalton returned after unsuccessfully searching for a suitable bride, a Dornish assassin shot an arrow through his chest. There was an inscription on the arrow that read 'Thank you for visiting Lord Tarly'. The arrow was also laced with manticore venom to secure the kill. The wound and the poison had already done it's work before a maester could save his life.

The mystery behind the murder is something Lord Preston has always tried to uncover.

Knighthood Edit

Lord Preston served as a squire to Lord Rowan for 3 years for 91 AC - 94 AC, when Lord Rowan was to sentence a nobleman from a small house in Dorne to death, he chose a trial by combat. Lord Preston volunteered to be Lord Rowan's champion. The Dornishman had a weak leg from being in a cell so Lord Preston used that to his advantage and slayed him. After the duel Lord Rowan anointed him as a Knight.
