Gilly is pregnant and fears that if she has a boy, he would be sacrificed to the Others. At Craster’s, he befriends Gilly, one of many Craster’s daughter/wives. He is placed in charge of the ravens as Lord Commander Mormont’s aide. Sam is one of the Night’s Watch members who participate in the Great Ranging beyond the Wall. Aemon agrees and gives Sam a position at the Castle Black, assisting him.
Upon taking the vows, Jon persuades Maester Aemon to allow Sam to join the Stewards, convincing him that despite his timid nature and uselessness as a soldier, Sam possesses great intelligence and his literacy may end up being of great value to Night’s Watch, something that proves true later on when, for example, they discover the bodies of Othor and Jafer Flowers. Jon being Jon, takes it upon himself to persuade and threaten, if necessary, his fellow recruits to stop their abuse. Miserable, Sam finds a friend in Jon Snow, with whom he shares his story. Ser Alliser Torne, who gave him the nickname “Ser Piggy” joined the mocking further inciting the bullying. He joined the Night’s Watch shortly after Jon Snow and was instantly mocked for his size and timid behavior. If Sam was not to comply, he would be killed in an unfortunate hunting accident on the morrow. When Sam reached maturity, his father bluntly told him that Sam is not worthy of their house, and therefor must join the Night’s Watch and renounce his family name so that he would not stand in the way of his younger brother’s inheritance. Dickon showed all of the physical vigor that Samwell lacked, so Randyll’s attention turned to raising his more promising son. After Lady Tarly brought three girls to life, Samwell’s brother Dickon was born. But it was all in vain because he wept even at the sight of a chicken slaughter. A dozen masters-at-arms failed to toughen him. He was sent to the Arbor as a page, but the Redwyne twins bullied him and Lord Paxter sent him back to Horn Hill. Lord Randyll, Samwell’s father, who was regarded as one of the finest military commanders in the Seven Kingdoms, did everything in his power to raise his son into what he deemed a proper heir, but Samwell frustrated him at every opportunity, resisting every effort made to change his nature. Regardless, he ended up in the Night’s Watch. He is also a craven, afraid of blood and violence. He is fond of music, prefers books to weapons and soft fabrics over armor. Samwell Tarly of Horn Hill is the eldest son of Lord Randyll Tarly and his wife Melessa Floret. Key players: Jon Snow, Wildlings, The White Walkers, Night’s Watch, Sam Tarly
