Seat of House Brax, standing in a mountain vale in the east of the westerlands, not far from the pass of the Golden Tooth. The purple unicorn of the Braxes has flown over Hornvale for centuries.
The Vale of Horns
The castle sits where the high valleys funnel down out of the hills, its lands hemmed by peaks and watered by mountain streams. Herds graze the upland meadows in summer, and the winding vale roads bring the trade of the hill country to Hornvale's gates.
Knights of the Unicorn
The Braxes are a knightly house of good repute, quick to answer the summons of Casterly Rock and forward in battle. Their sons have ridden in the vanguard of western hosts in many wars, and more than one has paid for that boldness with his life.
