Shadow Lands
Talk0this wiki
- "In the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai, they say there are fields of Ghost Grass, with stalks as pale as milk that glow in the night, murders all other grass. The Dothraki believe that one day, it'll cover everything, that's the way the world will end."
- ―Ser Jorah Mormont
The Shadow Lands are a location on the continent of Essos, located thousands of miles far to the east of Westeros and even the Free Cities, beyond the fabled land of Asshai.

The Shadow Lands lie beyond Asshai. To go to Asshai is sometimes described as to "pass beneath the shadow". It's unclear what "the Shadow" is.
