Set in the southern Reach not far from Oldtown, Brightwater Keep governs fertile lands watered by streams running down to the Honeywine. Horn Hill lies to the north-east.
House Florent holds it, an old family whose descent from the Gardener kings is closer than the Tyrells' own, a point its lords have never entirely let go. Marriage has tied the Florents to House Baratheon of Dragonstone as well.
