The Bone Mountains, commonly called the Bones, are a colossal Essosi mountain range.[1][2] They stretch longitudinally across part of the continent of Essos, beginning at the southern coast east of Qarth. The Bones north of the Steel Road are known by the Dothraki as the Krazaaj Zasqa.[3] The Dothraki sea and the red waste lie to the west of the Bone Mountains while the Great Sand Sea, the plains of the Jogos Nhai, and Yi Ti lie to the east. The Patrimony of Hyrkoon once flourished east of the mountain range.[4]

The mountains are a natural land barrier between the western part of Essos known to the Westerosi and the exotic, mysterious eastern side of the continent.

Routes

Three routes go through the Bone Mountains:

The only routes past Qarth mentioned in A Song of Ice and Fire thus far have been the shipping routes to the Jade Sea. The three aforesaid overland routes have not yet been mentioned.

Behind the scenes
