Storm's End, the seat of the Lord of Storm's End.
- Daenerys: "So who's Lord of Storm's End now?"
- Gendry: "I don't know, Your Grace."
- Daenerys: "Does anyone? I think you should be Lord of Storm's End."
- Gendry: "I can't be; I'm a bastard."
- Daenerys: "No. You are Lord Gendry Baratheon of Storm's End, the lawful son of Robert Baratheon, because that is what I have made you."
- — Daenerys Targaryen legitimizes Gendry and names him Lord of Storm's End[src]
The Lord of Storm's End is the ruler of the stronghold of Storm's End, the capital of the Stormlands. The holder is ruler of the entire region of the Stormlands. The current Lord of Storm's End is Gendry Baratheon.
The Stormlands were originally a sovereign nation known as The Storm Kingdom until Aegon the Conqueror arrived in Westeros and formed the Seven Kingdoms. Aegon Targaryen sent his bastard brother Orys Baratheon to secure the Stormlands, making him the first Lord of Storm's End.
Former holder Robert Baratheon passed the title to his infant brother, Renly Baratheon when he became the King on the Iron Throne following Robert's Rebellion. This has left Stannis Baratheon with issues of resentment towards Robert since he feels as though he should have been the Lord of Storm's End as Renly's older brother. Stannis was named Lord of Dragonstone instead, giving him control of the traditional seat of the Targaryen heirs. Before Robert, his father Steffon Baratheon was Lord of Storm's End.
Season 2
During the War of the Five Kings, the red priestess Melisandre uses her magic to create a shadow to kill King Renly Baratheon. Following Renly's death, Stannis took Storm's End as his own, making him the Lord of Storm's End.[1]
Season 5
After the broken remains of his army were routed at Winterfell, Stannis was killed by Brienne of Tarth. The title has presumably reverted to the last known Baratheon, King Tommen.[2]
Season 8
At the feast following the Battle of Winterfell, Daenerys Targaryen questions the current status of Storm's End's lordship. She then decides to legitimize Gendry as a Baratheon, and names him Lord of Storm's End.[3] This is upheld by the lords of Westeros after her assassination, as Gendry is a participant at the Great Council of 305 AC.[4]
