Storm's Rest is a huge round fortress, which is said to be the second largest fortified city in Westeros, second only to the existence of Harrenhal, of course, no matter what kind of fortified city, it cannot be held under the attack of the dragon, after all, the dragon can fly!

It is worth mentioning that when Aegon the Conqueror tried to explain to Heron that Harrenhal was vulnerable because his dragons could fly, Heron replied domineeringly, "But stones don't burn!" "It's true that stones don't burn, but they can be heated! This led to Harrenhal turning into a large oven.

The castle has walls that are 100 feet high (one foot is about 0.33 meters, three feet are about 1 meter, and about 33 meters high) and 40 feet (about 13 meters thick). Near the sea, it is a staggering 80 feet (about 26 meters) thick, and the height of the cliff is an astonishing 150 feet (about 50 meters high)! Obviously, if you want to fight the sea breeze day and night, you have to build it a little thicker, and according to legend, some kind of magic has been released from the walls of the Storm's Breath, which is the fundamental reason why it has been able to stand on the coastal cliffs for thousands of years.

Storm's Rest was not built by the Baratheon family, but by a man named Duron in the Age of Heroes, who is said to be the first king of the Stormlands, who fell in love with Ini, the daughter of the god of the sea, and gave herself completely to him, at the cost of losing her divine powers and becoming a mortal who had to face life, old age, sickness and death.

Poseidon was furious at this, believing that Durham had taken his daughter, and he objected to their union. However, they secretly held a wedding in a small castle belonging to the Durham family on the site of the former site of Storm's End. Apparently, the "father-in-law" was surprisingly angry that his son-in-law did not invite him to his daughter's wedding.

Like all fathers-in-law, he came uninvited, and it was clear that the Poseidon was far from being able to withstand the small castle, so it was completely swallowed up by the violent wind and the rolling waves, and with it all the guests and loved ones of Durham died.

I don't know why, this disaster didn't take Duren's life, maybe it was his evil "father-in-law" who wanted him to live and enjoy the punishment he brought him, let him live in the pain of losing his relatives and homelessness, and reflect on the cost of going against the gods, or his "father-in-law" couldn't bear to hurt his daughter's lover and was afraid that she would be sad? God knows! It's a distant legend!

Durham is alive anyway, and he is not defeated by this terrible disaster, or he becomes depressed as his "father-in-law" wishes, and finally "dog leads" as soon as possible. Instead, he decided to declare war on the sea god (sounds a little crazy, is he going to whip the sea with a whip?). In real history, there was indeed a madman who declared war on the god of the sea - the ancient Roman emperor Caligula, he decided to line up the fleet, and then threw javelins into the sea, and finally he went back with a lot of seafood, and then claimed that he defeated the god of the sea, these were the "prisoners" of the army of the god of the sea that he captured, and I want me to say that if he considered defeating the god of the sea in this way, then the fisherman was obviously a little more "professional" than the soldier), and the way he defeated the god of the sea was quite reliable, that is, to rebuild his family's castle again and again.

Obviously, the Stormland is called the Stormland for a reason, that is, this ghost place is prone to storms, and it is said that this is the punishment of the sea god for Durren to declare war on himself.

So Durham rebuilt his castle 6 times, each stronger and taller, but in the end it was no match for the power of the sea god and was turned into slag by his "father-in-law".

Until the seventh time, this time the castle was taller and thicker than before, the waves beat mercilessly again and again, and the sea breeze seemed to be the spokesperson of the sea god, whistling madly, roaring, and crashing against this castle. But this time, the castle was never destroyed again.

Durham was recognized by the god of the sea, perhaps because of his perseverance that moved his "father-in-law", or maybe because the castle was indeed strong? Legend has it that the castle was last built with the help of the Children of the Forest, who carved magical runes into every brick of the wall, and some believe it was due to the help of the young northern hero, Brandon the "Builder" (who was also the builder of Winterfell and the Great Wall).

Regardless, the castle stands here, and neither the sea breeze nor the waves can shake it, hence the name Storm's End, which means the place where the storm rests.

Of course, maybe all this is not as miraculous as imagined, after all, this is just a distant heroic legend, maybe the truth of the truth is just a "Dayu control the water" like a story, that is, a poor nobleman named Duren, on the day of his wedding storm destroyed his castle (typhoon?). Then he tried to rebuild his castle, and then it was blown down six more times in the process of construction, and it was not repaired until the seventh time.

Or maybe Durham isn't a person at all, but a family! This is the story of a family called Durham who fights against nature, otherwise the sea god "father-in-law" will inevitably have too low a sense of existence, and even the Greyjoy family, who is begging for a living at sea, does not believe in the sea god, but what kind of drowning god of Rausch? I feel very unlucky just by the name, and it stands to reason that the most fearful thing about begging for a living at sea is to be "drowned"!

But these myths aside, the rounded walls of the Storm's End do conform to the streamlined form, which can minimize the influence of the sea breeze on it, and its solidity and sturdiness are unquestionable.

This is Robert's home, and since the last king of the Stormlands, Argira the Arrogant, was defeated by the dragon of Aegon the Conqueror, and died at the hands of Aegon's half-brother Auris Baratheon, Stormlands and Argilla's daughter fell into the hands of Auris Baratheon.

Auris is the illegitimate son of Aegon's father, who graciously freed Argira's daughter (whom he could have tortured and humiliated), married the "former Princess of the Stormlands", inherited the territory of the Stormlands and the Storm's End, and even had the coat of arms of the "Crown Stag", he is the first ancestor of the Baratheon family, and as Aegon's good brother and close friend, he is also the first "Hand of the King" of the Seven Kingdoms.

When Han Xing and Robert arrived at Broken Ship Bay outside Storm's End, the sun had already risen, and the mist that had been dense in the air that had made Storm's End Castle loom in the distance had been dispersed by the sun and the salty sea breeze, allowing Han Xing and Robert to get a glimpse of Storm's End.

It's not that the two of them have any leisure to enjoy the scenery here, but because entering the Broken Ship Bay of Storm's Rest can be described as a veritable "Broken Ship Bay", this water area has countless hidden reefs, and if you rush into it in the fog, you will inevitably end up with a shipwreck.

Robert stared at the sparkling sea in the sun, just in this tranquil sea, no more than a kilometer from Storm's End, a few years ago, Robert stood on the city wall, when he was just a big child, and together with his brothers, he watched the "Proud Wind" (his father's ship) enter the harbor in the distance with great anticipation, this was not the first time he had watched his parents return with such a mood, as he had done countless times before, he looked forward to their gifts, Imagine my father recounting their wonderful journey to himself.

According to the letters received by Master Clesson, his father's overseas journey did not go well, and he was sent by the "Mad King" to find a woman of noble origin to be Prince Rhaegar on the other side of the Narrow Sea. Rhaegar was not married, and Aerys was not mad, and his father, Stephen, was a good friend of Aerys, who believed that only noble women of ancient Valyrian blood could be the spouse of his beloved son, Rhaeggar, and even rejected Tywin's offer to marry Cersei, so he sent his best friend to find a suitable partner across the Narrow Sea.

It didn't go well, and as everyone knows, Rhaegar eventually took Dorne's princess Elia, perhaps because Dorne was the only one of the Seven Kingdoms to retain the title of "prince"?

However, for Robert at the time, none of this was his business, and what interested him most was that his father mentioned that he would bring back a very interesting jeoletto, according to his father's letter, "He was the most outstanding jesterine I have ever met, he was very good at music, poetry, jokes, magic, he knew four languages, he was nimble like a little monkey, maybe he could teach Stannis to 'laugh'!" ”

"That guy must be very interesting to get such a high evaluation from my father!" Robert couldn't wait to think.

But fate played a big joke on Robert, he watched his father's ship "Aofeng" hit the rocks under his nose, even if it was thousands of meters away, he could hear the exclamations and cries for help of people on the "Aofeng" in the distance.

The weather that day was not good, gloomy, a picture of a storm about to come, and it was precisely for this reason that my father chose to take a risk, and it was difficult to enter the port in the turbulent waves blown by the strong wind, and the "Proud Wind" was a big ship, so it could cross the Narrow Sea and carry my father to the free trade city-state on the other side of the Narrow Sea, which also meant that it had a deep draft!

Inevitably, the "Aofeng" ran aground, and although his crew and captain were seasoned veterans, the "Broken Ship Bay" was by no means in vain, and there was a loud bang from the bottom of the ship, and the whole ship trembled.

Seawater poured in down the bevel, and the crew hurriedly closed the corresponding cabins, but soon there was a second and a third loud noise, and the "Aofeng" sank at a speed visible to the naked eye. People began to scream and scurry like "headless flies", and people who knew how to swim into the sea tried to swim to the shore.

As if the heavens were not enough of such torture, the storm that was about to come followed, and those who swam into the sea, who should have the best chance of surviving, became the first victims, they were drowned by the rolling waves, and then they resurfaced, and each time they were submerged, fewer and fewer remained and continued to struggle to swim to the shore, until at last all the people were completely swallowed up by the waves.
