Orys resigned after losing a hand in the First Dornish War. Historyĭuring the Conquest of the Seven Kingdoms by House Targaryen, King Aegon I Targaryen proclaimed his half-brother, Orys Baratheon, to be "my shield, my stalwart, my strong right hand." Because of Aegon's description, Orys is regarded to have been the first Hand of the King. Servants of the Hand might wear the emblem of a hand. Several Hands have used chains, such as a necklace of linked golden hands. Rogar Baratheon and Brynden Rivers used brooches of gold and iron, respectively, and a silver clasp has also been used. His badge of office always includes a hand, though each Hand can design his own. The Hand resides in the Tower of the Hand within the Red Keep. A popular saying goes, "What the king dreams, the Hand builds," but the lowborn say, "The king eats, and the Hand takes the shit." Many able men have failed in the office throughout history.
It is considered by some to be a difficult and unglamorous job of great responsibility. The office typically makes the Hand the second-most powerful man in the kingdom next to the king, though some Hands have had the reputation of ruling their kings. The Hand also sits on the small council and will run the council if the king is not present. The Hand may act on the king's behalf when he is indisposed, and sit the Iron Throne while doing so. 5 Hands of claimants to the Iron Throneĭuties of the Hand include commanding the king's armies, drafting laws, dispensing justice, and generally managing the day-to-day running of the kingdom.The wealth and magnificence of the Sun King are evoked by refined ornamental embossments in the Louis XIV style, obtained thanks to the inlay technique of which the French cabinet-maker André-Charles Boulle was a master. Thanks to the numerous finishes, from the precious gold plating to the refined French silver, Soleil can either be more discreet or more flashy, managing to adapt to the taste of each environment. The friezes, which are worthy of note, are situated on the stem and connect the handgrip to the plate or rose depending on the model an elegance that is proof of the great care and attention to detail that Linea Calì dedicates to each collection. The handgrip, which is also meticulously decorated, on the other hand, is decidedly austere and conveys a feeling of elegant nobility. The pattern composed of pretty flowers using the bas-relief technique gives this handle a “kingly” appearance, made even more important by the friezes that dominate the ends and which are reminiscent of some of the most beautiful pieces by André-Charles Boulle, The magnificence and splendor of Louis XIV Bourbon, called the Sun King, come to mind when admiring the Soleil collection of Linea Calì.
