Once this village was on the border with the Split Waters clan of the Maboder. Now this village lies on the border with Stagland.
The Split Waters and Red Cow often feuded and raids fell upon Brightwater. Since the destruction of the Maboder, the threat is from the Telmori instead. As a result, outside
of Red Cow Fort, Brightwater has a palisade wall and a watchtower, for defense.
The Osmanning bloodline pressurizes Broddi Strong-Kin to allow them to clear more land in Stagland for grazing.
There are 37 people in the stead. 21 are adults and 16 are children of varying ages. Of the adults, four are elders. From the remaining 17, six are wives, originally from another clan. The other 11 are adults, eight men and three unmarried women.
