Randal Morn

Randal Morn is the rightful heir of Daggerdale and has ruled as its Lord since 1369 DR when he reclaimed it from Zhentarim control. As the last surviving member of the House of Morn, he lived in exile as a vigilante for over thirty years before his return.

History
The House of Morn had ruled over the Dalelands for centuries prior to the arrival of the Zhentarim. Over a few short years, the remaining members were disposed of until the adventurer Randal Morn became the last of his house.

Morn was driven from Dagger Falls by the Zhentarim agents in 1336 DR and began his career as a vigilante resistance fighter. He and his two hundred men would control up to three-quarters of Daggerdale, while the Zhentarim was only really interested in holding Dagger Falls and the surrounding area.

The first major victory occurring nearly two decades later with the death of the puppet ruler Malyk in 1353 DR. The Zentarim responded aggressively, leading to a series of events that culminated in all-out civil war by 1369 DR.

With events abroad such as the recent destruction of Zhentil Keep, the Zentarim had its attention elsewhere during this time, allowing Morn the window he needed to reclaim the Dagger Falls and thus the region.
