Yi Ti is a city located in the far east of Essos. It is located at the eastern limits of the known world, beyond the Jade Sea and far to the east of even Qarth. It is sometimes mentioned in the same breath as Asshai as an extremely remote part of the world from Westeros[1]. Merchant ships from Yi Ti and Asshai regularly visit Qarth to conduct trade.[2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Yi Ti is one of the fabled lands of the mysterious east, along with Asshai, Yi Ti, Bayasabhad, Kayakayanaya and Shamyriana. It is southeast of Qarth on the far distant eastern shores of the Jade Sea. It is presumed to be north of Asshai - as Asshai is sometimes said to lie at the most south-easterly limits of exploration in the world. Yi Ti is sometimes said to be a city and sometimes a nation. Jungles are located near Yi Ti and its major exports include saffron and wine. The Lion of Night is a noted deity of the region.
Yi Ti is also known for its merchants who wear hats made from monkey tails. Representatives from Yi Ti sometimes trade at the eastern market of Vaes Dothrak.
Yi Ti may be loosely analogous to China and the Far East, but thus far, no characters from Yi Ti have appeared in the books, thus no persons of East Asian ethnicity have appeared in the narrative (so far).
