	I understand your concerns in that regard. So keep in mind any of the four rebel houses named can be changed to another Stormland house if a player doesn't want them to be, well rebelling. I don't want to do a peasant rebellion or outsider invasion as that would unite the power of the Stormlands under the Baratheon's, and at the start I want their power to be basically zero.

	Still, I don't want to step on your toes, or anyone else's so please take a gander at this WIP and let me know if the scenario is too crazy, and not too your liking.

[color=silver]
	The youngest of the the seven great houses of Westeros, House Baratheon of Storm's End was installed by Aegon I during his conquests of the region. The Baratheon's were named thereon Lords Paramount of the Stormlands, and seen with high favor by their Targaryn Kings. For nigh nintey years the sons of Orys 'The One Hand' Baratheon have ruled the Stormlands from their seat Storm's End, taking the words, castle, and honor of the Storm King who came before. The Storm men they preside over are a resilient and fractious people, with a long memory, and a righteous fury. House Baratheon, from Orys then to Robbas in the present have struggled to rein in the proud Storm lords and their chivalry, keeping them loyal to the wishes of the Targaryn King on the Iron Throne. Their efforts have not been in vain, and it could be said that with a Baratheon at their head the armies of the Stormlands are the most loyal and dangerous force in all the Seven Kingdoms. Though many of the great houses would beg to differ on surety of that point, there is no denying the Stormlands; at least before that pincer grip on power slipped under the chaotic rule of Robbas Baratheon I.

	He was never meant to rule. Robbas was the younger brother to Boremund Baratheon and Jocelyn Targaryn née Baratheon. Boremund was sickly in his youth, prone to coughing fits and spontaneous bleeding from the nose, unlike his brother and the Baratheon's who came before he was weak of body, and slight of build barely able to stand and play. He remained in his chambers for the most part, while his brother Robbas lanced and hunted he wrote and read. At the young age of seventeen he passed away while abed, the servants discovering him pale as a ghost, perished from what the maester claimed was internal bleeding. The end scenario suited Robbas just fine. He never much cared for his brother, their personalities and pursuits clashed without end, and Robbas had always felt slighted that the lands and titles went to his pathetic excuse for a brother. He had always been strong and energetic, filled with all the wrath and lust of ten men, whereas Boremund died a virgin. Later Robbas became a knight, and at twenty-two a lord, and not one drop of his personality left him. During his reign as Lord Paramount, Robbas Baratheon was known as an effective yet ruthless ruler, the veteran of a score of battles and a master of fear. He fathered two sons and a daughter, with the Lady Sayella Baratheon, née Tarth. During the time of his rule he gathered very few powerful friends, but a great many dangerous foes, including the houses of Connington and Selmy, Fell, and Buckler, by insult and disrespect among other acts. During one night of heavy drinking, Lord Robbas bedded the new wife of Lord Selmy during his wedding day celebrations, disarmed Lord Buckler in a duel for Buckler's daughter's honor, and spit in Lord Fell's face for the slightest backtalk. In a single evening he had made three new enemies, who evermore looked on him and his household in disdain. Years later he would execute the Lord Connington for being late to battle and a craven, and installed the man's bastard son as heir, an act that has never been forgotten by Connington's trueborn sons. Robbas was no man to make amends, and actively furthered the bad blood, antagonizing the lords of his sworn houses. Even those families he was not openly feuding with him looked on disapprovingly. Of Houses Selmy, Buckler, Fell, and Connington cadets he made open mockery, and dug salt into their wounds as was his combative nature. Despite this, those four houses could do not but grit their teeth and bend to his will, weathering their Lord Paramount's mood. For it was well known by then that Robbas Baratheon harbored little patience, and was terrifying to behold in battle.

	Of the Baratheon children Robbas II, 'The Younger', was the heir to all the titles and lands. He was as blusterous and promiscuous as his predecessor, his apple falling close to his father's tree. He resided at Storm's End, married to Tolana née Swann with a young son of his own, Robbas III, perhaps his fifth child, but his only true-born. Robbas The Elder's second born was Oryon, a man of twenty who was seen far more favorably then his father and elder brother by the Stormlords, he was soft spoken, and true hearted, loyal to a fault, or a "weak willed follower" as his father called him. He spent much of his time away in the Reach, courting his intended bride to be. Mellaran the youngest at only twelve remained in Storm's End, she is a pretty enough girl, and well known for being cleverer then Robbas, and bolder than Oryon. Together the five of them made a rather broken family, with the only ties maintaining their cohesion being blood and honor.

	Nevertheless due to Robbas I's iron will they maintained and prospered, never giving an inch to their foes in battle or otherwise until those fateful days when the Baratheon's pincer grip on power faltered, and his demons came all at once. The day came when Robbas I fell deathly ill, his skin pale and his hands once powerful without equal shaking and weak. He was reaching middle age as they say, but the disease struck him hard and fast, and despite the maester's best efforts he could not break his fever. On the second week the bleeding began, running fast and free from his nostrils until the Lord Paramount was pale as his brother had been all those years before. That was when the ravens arrived from the Weeping Town, bearing condolences and tears of their own. Whilst riding with his friend Ser Whitehead, Ser Robbas II fell from his horse and shattered his neck on the rocks below. There was no saving the young heir, and Robbas The Elder died only days later before the funeral for his eldest son could even be held. Following soon after their passing Robbas' political enemies began making themselves known, emboldened by the loss of Robbas and his son they moved on Storm's End like ravens to carrion. Before Tytan Baratheon, Robbas I's youngest brother could even arrive to say his final goodbyes to his deceased sibling, Lord Buckler had snatched away Robbas III and his mother. Carting them back with him to Bronzegate, claiming he was chosen to foster the boy until he came of age. Upon arriving at Storm's End in a rage at the news, Tytan was shocked to find Selmy wheat flying alongside the Baratheon stag, and the gates barred to him. The Lord Selmy had occupied the castle, naming himself its caretaker until Robbas III was deemed of capacity to take up the mantle as Lord of Storm's End himself. Tytan was turned away, unable to even speak to his niece, or sister-by-law. In short order Robbas' foes had dug their claws in, with clear intention to remain.
