## General information

### Seat

Dragonstone

House Baratheon of Dragonstone is a cadet branch of House Baratheon of Storms end, located on the once Targaryen ruled isle of Dragonstone. The branch was created by Lord Stannis Baratheon, the younger brother of King Robert Baratheon, and king claimant to the iron throne during the war of the five kings.

Stannis led the house during the war of the five kings. After the war, he burned his heir, Shireen Baratheon, at the stake, near the wall, leaving his house without a successor. As luck would have it, one of His brothers only surviving bastards, Tommard Storm, met up with him before Stannis’ untimely death, and became the heir to dragonstone.

Currently, the lord of Dragonstone is Edric Baratheon. This house possesses the biggest fleet in the crownlands, beating even that of the royal fleet of the iron throne.

edric has recently Married Lady Thena Redwyne, establishing ties with the reach, and gaining the ships which give his fleet such a reputation.

Historical members of the house include Stannis Baratheon, Selyse Florent and Shireen Baratheon, as well As Melisandre, a red priestess who had many ties with the small house. She led the conversion of Stannis’ faith, and the death of his daughter, Shireen.

## House Baratheon of Goldengrove

House Baratheon of Goldengrove is a cadet branch of House Baratheon of Storm’s end, located in the northern Reach of Westeros. The cadet branch was created by The king claimant, Renly Baratheon and his wife, lady Margaery Tyrell, during the war of the five kings.

the house (named House Baratheon of the Stormlands and the Reach during these events) Prospered under the brief rule of Renly, before his death, a few weeks after the houses creation.

although the house had no successor, Lady Margaery did happen to have a child with the young heir of House Roman of Goldengrove. After her child’s birth, and her departure to kings landing, the house was Formally named House Baratheon of Goldengrove, in honour of Renly.

members of this house were named “the false Baratheons”, before the marriage of Margaery’s son, Renly (son of Margaery, not husband), and Gendry’s Daughter, Argela Baratheon. The house continues to survive till this day, under the rule of Lord Durran Baratheon of Goldengrove (the hand of Vaella).

## House Baratheon of King’s Landing

house Baratheon of kings landing is a claimant house that seats itself on the island of Aerephon, in the salten keep (an island located near driftmark in blackwater bay). It was created by one of the eight doe’s (the eight children of Gendry Baratheon), who wanted his baratheon line back in power.

The house is still running to this day, as house Baratheon of kings landing (even though their seat is Aerephon). The current head is Rosamund Baratheon, who just recently declared for Vaella Targaryen, despite contesting for the iron throne herself.

The house is rather small, consisting of a mere 3 members. Lady Rosamund, her husband, lord massey and their child, Josen Baratheon.

The houses sigil is the classic Baratheon stag on a red field, and their words are the standard Baratheon words.

The Targaryen’s had recently sent ships to exterminate the keep, as lady rosamund is a fanatic who longs for power and the throne.
