Game of Thrones primarily follows those at the top of its society. The movements of kings, knights, lords, and nobles command attention, while millions of less fortunate souls run around anonymously. The Starks and the Lannisters enjoy the spotlight even among those high-born houses. House Baratheon performed one of the most significant acts in the franchise's history shortly before the narrative started. Robert was right to rebel, but the Targaryen dynasty gave him Storm's End.
