===Conquest of the Stormlands===

While Aegon dealt with Harrenhal, the greater part of his host crossed the [[Blackwater Rush]] heading south for [[Storm's End]] under the command of [[Orys Baratheon]], with Queen [[Rhaenys Targaryen]] accompanying him astride [[Meraxes]]. While the [[Storm King]] [[Argilac Durrandon]] gathered his bannermen to Storm's End, pirates from the [[Stepstones]] raided [[Cape Wrath]] and [[Dornishmen]] from the [[Red Mountains]] attacked the [[Dornish Marches]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

Lords [[House Errol|Errol]], [[House Fell|Fell]] and [[House Buckler|Buckler]], bannermen of Argilac the Arrogant, surprised the advance elements of Orys's host as they were crossing the [[Wendwater]], cutting down more than a thousand men before retreating back into the trees. Rhaenys unleashed Meraxes and set the forest ablaze, killing Lord Errol.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

Word of King Harren's end having reached Storm's End, Argilac rode north to meet his foes in the field. After being advised through Rhaenys's reconnaissance, Orys fortified a strong position on the hills south of [[Bronzegate]] and waited for Argilac's [[stormlands|stormlanders]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

In what became known as the [[Last Storm]], Argilac attacked the Baratheon and Targaryen forces during a howling gale. The Storm King and his knights broke through Orys's center during their third charge, but they then faced Queen Rhaenys. Meraxes's [[dragonflame]] killed the personal guard of Argilac, who was thrown from the saddle. Orys offered him to yield, but Argilac cursed him instead. After Orys slew the wounded Storm King in single combat, the stormlanders threw down their swords and fled.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

Argilac's daughter, [[Argella Durrandon]], barred the gates of Storm's End and declared herself Storm Queen. The castle's soldiers, however, eventually delivered her to Orys's camp.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} Orys took Argella as his wife and chose the words and sigil of [[House Durrandon]] for the new [[House Baratheon]]. Aegon named Orys the [[Lord Paramount of the Stormlands]] and made him Lord of Storm's End.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}
