The '''old warhorn''' is a [[horn]] made from an [[aurochs]] horn. The cracked warhorn is banded with [[bronze]] and its rim is chipped.{{Ref|ACOK|34}} ==Recent Events== ===''A Clash of Kings''=== While the [[Night's Watch]] is encamped at the [[Fist of the First Men]] during the [[great ranging]], [[Ghost]] finds a bundle of black wool buried in a mound of soft earth behind a fallen tree. The [[direwolf]] informs [[Jon Snow]]. A length of rope binds together the bundle, which is perhaps two feet across. It contains the horn and [[dragonglass]] [[Armament|weapons]], including a dozen knives, leaf-shaped spearheads, and numerous arrowheads.{{Ref|ACOK|34}} Jon is unable to get any sound from the warhorn, so he gives it to [[Samwell Tarly]], reasoning that Sam likes old things. He suggests to Sam that he make a drinking horn out of it to celebrate his part in mission [[beyond the Wall]], Jon also gives Sam a spearhead and a dozen arrowheads, passing the rest out among his other friends for luck.{{Ref|aCoK|43}} ===''A Feast For Crows''=== While staying at an inn in [[Braavos]] with Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], [[Dareon]], and [[Gilly]], Sam still has the horn.{{Ref|AFFC|26}} On the ''[[Cinnamon Wind]]'', Sam trades away almost all that they own in order to pay [[Quhuru Mo]] for their passage south from Braavos to [[Oldtown]]. By the time the dealing is done, Sam is only left with his boots, black clothing, smallclothes, and the broken horn Jon had found on the Fist of the First Men.{{Ref|AFFC|35}} ==Theories== :{{Main|Horn of Winter/Theories}} Some readers suspect that this broken, modest horn may actually be the legendary [[Horn of Winter]], also known as the Horn of Joramun, and they surmise that it may have been broken purposely, or even warded, so that it cannot be blown in error. ==References== {{References}} [[Category:Beyond the Wall]] [[Category:Horns]] [[Category:House Tarly]] [[fr:Cor de guerre en corne d'aurochs]]
