=== The Men of the Storm ===
=== The Men of the Storm ===


The Stormlands is a wild and violent place. Defiance and stubbornness are at the roots of every man who calls the Stormlands home, for they cannot afford to be anything else. To build up castles in the face of hurricanes, to prosper in the shadow of thunderclouds, and rebuild when storm after storm destroys the lives and livelihoods of countless people. A Stormlander lives in constant change, where the land itself is hostile. For millennia, since the days of Durran Godsgrief, much of the Stormlands has fallen under the rule of [[House Durrandon]], and long has the men of this land been acquainted with the shadow of Storm's End. Many smallfolk even boast of Durrandon blood through the bastards of King Ronard. Under the Storm Kings, the Houses of this savage land have endured through fire, blood, and tempest, and do not give up their power easily. House Evenstar of Tarth has rebelled many times, seeking independence as kings in their own right. House Wylde has ever consulted the Children before their King, upholding the laws of weirwood and root above bronze and stone. But at this time, the Stag Kings remained the most powerful and dominating force in the region.
