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. A flood of easily manipulated refugees from the destruction of Teshendale arrived, bringing along Zhentarim agents hidden in their midst. Sowing dissent and dissatisfaction with the House of Morn, the Zhentarim was able to instigate a rebellion against the ruling Lordship.

The surviving heir to the house, Randal 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. During this time, he gained a great number of allies in the region and abroad, even once fighting along side Mourngrym Amcathra, Lord of Shadowdale.

The first major victory occurred 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.

Randal is the last male heir to the House of Morn. His sister, Silver Cormaeril lives to the south, married into the Cormaeril family of Cormyr. Unless Morn produces an heir, control of Daggerdale will pass to the Cormaeril family upon his death.
