Brightstone is home to many of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Doskvol. Its
streets are broad and paved, under bright electric lights; its canals are sparkling and clean,
with perfumed water; its houses are all of fine, pale marble blocks, rich timbers, and intricate
ironworks. There are cultivated parks fed by radiant energy; lavish restaurants and cafes;
jewelers, tailors, and other luxury shops. Street-side vendors are forbidden here, resulting in a
serene, spacious atmosphere, punctuated by the occasional carriage or marching Bluecoat patrol.
