Sitting in the hill country of the southern Reach north of Oldtown, Uplands commands mixed farmland and pasture. Horn Hill and Brightwater Keep lie within a few days' ride.
House Mullendore holds it under the Tyrells, taking butterflies for its arms, an unusually delicate sigil among the martial houses of Westeros. Its knights are counted in the Reach host and appear at the tourneys of the region.
