Biography: Being born as the son of the famous Laughing Storm, Ormund always stood in the shadow of his father, struggleing most of the time to proof himself. He eventually became knighted and even participated in few tourneys, yet without any real success.
Ormund realized early that he was in the end destined to inherit his father, thus thinking that there were other ways to proof himself as a good lord. At court he learnt this lesson quickly and even more, when the betrothal between the Targaryens and his sister Lysa Baratheon was broken by the sides of their overlords. When his father rose up in rebellion and declared himself King, Ormund followed him as he also saw the honor of his House and his sister being offended.
The rebellion took however a quick end, when the Commander of the Kingsguard Ser Duncan the Tall defeated The Laughing Storm in a Trial of Combat, thus ending a short rebellion more quickly than it started. For compensation the Targaryens betrothed Rhaelle Targaryen to Ormund, which calmed down the conflict for the moment. Lord Lyonel eventually died a natural death at the beginning of 240 AC, thus causing Ormund to inherit Storm's End and the Stormlands.

Biography: Having so far lived a live without higher expectations, Ser Godric Baratheon participated in a majority of tournaments, thus filling out Lord Lyonel's role within tournaments, once The Laughing Storm retired.
Eventually Ser Godric would become a charismatic tourney knight, eventually marrying a lady of House Morrigen in order to improve the relationships within the Stormlands once more. Though being married he often seeks for a challenge, while staying nontheless charming and sometimes inspiring. By holding up the ideals of honor and chivalry he often gets into conflict with his uncle Ser Boros, who merely can call Godric naive.

Biography: While Ser Lyonel Baratheon was always the celebrated champion of the family, Boros had to learn the hard way his lesson, that the world outside the walls of Storm's End wasn't as noble and honorable as it was used to be praised.
In 219 AC he volunteerly joined the royalists against the Third Blackfyre rebellion, where he witnessed the horrors of war directly, as the former Lord Baratheon and a brother of his died within the conflict. For the price of left hand, Boros survived the war, which turned in favor of the Targaryens, thus leading him to invest his time more into the art of war by reading novels, excerpts and anything he could somehow obtain. On several occasions he visited Oldtown and the Citadel in order to obtain more knowledge, sometimes more successful than other times.
During the Peake Uprising and the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion he commanded troops in the name of his Lord brother, while making himself a name as 'Ironfist' due to the Iron fist, he wears as as a replacement to his lost hand. Due to his situation, Ser Boros often commands the Rearguard, while taking most of his time to analyze the enemy, thus allowing minor lords, whom he sees fit for command to execute his commands.
Though his war expieriences turned Ser Boros into a bitter man, he kept even in his youth distance from other people, while frequently offending them at court. Nowadays people might respect that he fought for the loyalists cause, while though he isn't liked well.
Few peasant rebellions within the surroundings of Storm's End are rumored to have been caused because of Boros' reforms and judgement in absence of Lord Lyonel. The outcome was most times bloody, as the Baratheon men repaid rebellion with oppression and blood.
He has a difficult relationship with his nephews although Lord Ormund seems to be the only one, who seems to listen to his counsil more often, as he serves diligent as the steward of Storm's End. Nontheless he seems to care for his own children, although it is sometimes hard to tell.

Grain (+1,200 Land Militia points) is the staple food of Westeros, used to feed the throngs of smallfolk and to grace the feast tables of the aristocracy alike. Enjoying the control of such a valuable resource will grant the local Lord a greater capacity for fielding armies.
Horses (20% cheaper hire and 10% cheaper upkeep for professional cavalry) are an important component in Westerosi warfare, where the Knight reigns supreme on the battlefield. As such these beasts, especially good quality beasts, are highly sought after and can cost a great deal of money. Possession of ones own company of horse rearers eliminates much of this cost.
