The '''Flatlands''' is part of southern [[Andalos]] in western [[Essos]].{{Ref|ADWD|5}}

==Geography==
The Flatlands are bordered by the upper reaches of the [[Rhoyne]] to the east, the [[Velvet Hills]] to the north, and the [[Golden Fields]] to the southeast. A [[Valyrian road]] runs through the Flatlands from the [[Free City]] of [[Pentos]] to [[Ghoyan Drohe]]. 

The Flatlands is a fertile area of open fields and plains, located around Pentos and responsible for feeding it.<ref name=HboGuide/> Tillers and toilers who are bound to the land dwell in the Flatlands, while many [[magister]]s and nobles of the cities have estates on the Flatlands.<ref name=HboGuide>[http://viewers-guide.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/season1/#!/locations/braavos/ HBO viewers guide, season 1 map, Braavos entry]</ref> [[Illyrio Mopatis]] owns some orchards, farms and mines in the Flatlands, though he seldom visits them.{{ref|ADWD|5}}

The [[Dothraki]] can easily access and ride through the Flatlands, so Pentoshi magisters, like nobles of the other [[Free Cities]],{{ref|AGOT|3}} pay them heavy tribute so as to ensure they do not loot or sack any of the estates or villages in the area.

==History==
