## History

Born the first son of the Cairn family, Samuel was trained from a young age to become another warrior in a long line of warriors. It became apparent very quickly that the blood of the First Men flowed through him and by the time he was 12 he was already larger than his father.

At the age of 16 Samuel took part in his first battle, where he was heavily wounded by a marauding band of wildlings. It took him several months to recover although he still to this day carries some of those wounds.

Over the next few years he learnt how to keep House Cairn functioning as his father started to get older, he even was married to a Lady of House Moore and was gifted with several children. After a few years Samuel was required to step up and take the mantle of the Lord of the House, after his father was slain in battle.

## Recent Events

Lord Samuel Cairn has been busy attending to matters of house in recent months which has affected his ability to mingle with the other lords of the Riverlands. When Samuel managed to attend an event hosted by the King of the Riverlands he found it to be in great disarray; Ironborn murdering guests, and declarations of war against the Ironborn. Samuel was not approached by any side regarding the hostilities and decided to keep his House and family away from it all.
