The red waste is located south of the [[Dothraki sea]] and [[Lhazar]], the land of the [[Lhazareen]]. It is east of [[Slaver's Bay]] and its hinterlands, north of the fabled city of [[Qarth]], and west of the [[Bone Mountains]].{{Ref|TLOIAF|Central Essos}}

The land has low hills, barren windswept plains, and dry rivers.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} Life is sparse in its red parched soil,{{ref|AGOT|72}} stone, sand, and red clay.{{ref|ACOK|12}} There is little forage, and water is found in shallow pools, bitter and stagnant. Wood is also hard to find, with the best being gnarled and tough.{{Ref|AGOT|72}} [[Wolves]] apparently live in the region.{{ref|ACOK|27}}

Within the red waste are four abandoned cities, [[Vaes Tolorro]], [[Vaes Orvik]], [[Vaes Shirosi]], and [[Vaes Qosar]], all formerly inhabited by the [[Qaathi]] but sacked by the [[Dothraki]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| Beyond the Free Cities: The Grasslands}} South of the red waste along the [[Summer Sea]] are, from west to east, the cities of [[Port Yhos]], [[Qarkash]], and [[Qarth]].{{Ref|TLOIAF|Central Essos}}

Beginning at Qarth, the [[Sand Road]] travels north through the eastern red waste along the [[Dry Bones]]. It then turns east through the Bones toward [[Bayasabhad]].{{ref|TLOIAF|The Known World}} Sandstorms have shaped the Dry Bones into strange shapes.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond}}
