House Baratheon

**House Baratheon of Storm's End** is one of the Great Houses of Westeros and the principal lords of the Stormlands. Descended from Aegon Targaryen's chief general and rumoured half brother Orys Baratheon, they have ruled since the Conquest, when Orys took as a wife the daughter of the last Storm King.

Their sigil is the same as that of House Durrandon, the previous rulers of Storm's End; a black stag upon a golden field. Members of the family tend to be tall and well-built, with black hair and blue eyes.

The current head of the house is Lord Steffon Baratheon.

## History

### Background

House Baratheon was founded by Orys Baratheon, a general in the army of King Aegon I Targaryen, the founder of the Targaryen dynasty who conquered the Seven Kingdoms. Orys Baratheon was also rumored to be Aegon's bastard half-brother. He defeated Argilac the Arrogant, the last of the Storm Kings, and captured his castle of Storm's End. For his accomplishments, Orys was made Lord of Storm's End and founded House Baratheon. Orys took the sigil and words of the defeated House Durrandon as his own, cementing his rule over the Stormlands by marrying Argella Durrandon, the daughter of the fallen Argilac.
