WARNING: The following article contains spoilers from Game of Thrones season eight, episode two.
Samwell Tarly’s (played by John Bradley) kind nature became a talking point in Game of Thrones, episode two, entitled The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
In the show, the fan-favourite shared a touching moment with Ser Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) on the eve of the War of Winterfell.
He was seen handing over the Heartsbane sword, a family heirloom, to the greyscale survivor in the courtyard.
The blade is made of Valyrian steel and is one of few weapons able to kill a White Walker.
By handing over the sword to Ser Jorah, he is inadvertently giving him a means to stay alive, all the while, reducing his chances of survival.
Does this prove Sam will die later in the season as he does not have a weapon cable of killing White Walkers?
The Heartsbane sword has been in Sam’s house for generations and previously belonged to his father Randyll.
Randyll disowned Sam when he learned of his relationship with Wilding Gilly, vowing to never pass the blade down to his son.
But Sam stole the weapon from Horn Hill and fled the home with Gilly and her son, little Sam, shortly after.
