=== Background ===
Orys Baratheon is the founder of House Baratheon and is the distant ancestor of King Robert Baratheon and his brothers, Stannis and Renly.
During the War of Conquest, he was a commander in the army of Aegon the Conqueror, and was the 
Conqueror's bastard half-brother. When Aegon invaded Westeros, he sent Orys to seize Storm's End, the ancestral seat of the Storm Kings and capital of the Stormlands. Orys defeated the Storm King, Argilac the Arrogant, and took not only Storm's End but also his sigil (the crowned black stag) and words ("Ours is the Fury"), as well as his daughter Argella, and his sword, Torment, to cement his rule over the Stormlands. He became the first Lord Paramount of the Stormlands.
