Standing in the hills of the southern Reach north of Oldtown, Horn Hill commands wooded country towards the Dornish marches. The road from Oldtown to Highgarden runs through its lands.
House Tarly holds it under the Tyrells, and Lord Randyll Tarly is widely reckoned the finest soldier in the Reach. The family's ancestral blade Heartsbane, a Valyrian steel greatsword, has been passed down for five hundred years.
