- "Is this a riddle?"
- ―Daenerys Targaryen
The House of the Undying is a location in Qarth. It is the gathering place for the Warlocks of Qarth and the abode of their masters, the Undying Ones.
Daenerys, Ser Jorah Mormont and Kovarro reach the House of the Undying. While trying to figure out the maze inside, Jorah loses sight of Dany. She enters inside the house and with a flamed torch begins her journey to locate her dragons. She sees various illusions along the way. She sees the Iron Throne and the charred remains of the Red Keep, covered in snow. She next is seen leaving the Wall in a snowy storm. She next enters a tent where she sees her beloved Drogo and her son Rhaego. She knows it is merely an illusion and the cries of her dragons reminds her that she must force herself to continue on. She finds her dragons chained, and soon Pyat Pree chains Daenerys up as well. The warlock states that he intends to keep her prisoner. Daenerys, however, gets her dragons to incinerate Pree.[1]

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, The House of the Undying is decribed as a grey, ancient ruin. It is long and low, with no towers or windows. It is coiled like a stone serpent through a grove of black-barked trees with inky blue leaves which are used to make the drink that the Qartheen call "Shade of the Evening".
