===Essos===
:{{Main|Essos}}
Separated from Westeros by the [[narrow sea]], [[Essos]] extends eastwards for many thousands of miles. It is larger than Westeros, but much of it consists of less densely populated steppes, plains and deserts. The western edge of the continent is controlled by the nine [[Free Cities]], while the city-states of [[Slaver's Bay]] are in the south-central region. Much of the continental interior, known as the [[Dothraki sea]], is grassland ruled by the tribal warriors known as the [[Dothraki]]. Further east is [[Qarth]] and the fabled [[Jade Sea]]. The mapped lands of Essos are divided by the [[Bone Mountains]], which run from the [[Shivering Sea]] in the north to the [[Jade Gates]] in the south. East of the Bone Mountains are the [[Plains of the Jogos Nhai]], [[Yi Ti]], the [[Grey Waste]], [[Mossovy]], and the legendary [[Asshai]] in the foreboding [[Shadow Lands]].{{ref|TLOIAF| The Known World}}
