Worm
The Worm River is a river on the eastern continent. Its headwaters begin in the hills near Ghiscar and its mouth lies next to Astapor, where it flows into Slaver's Bay. It has many bends.[1] At dusk Astapori pleasure barges sail up and down the Worm, playing soft music and calling at little islands for food, wine and other delights. [2]

On her way to the Plaza of Punishment to collect the Unsullied she has agreed to purchase, Dany lead her tattered band up along Astapor’s meandering Worm river. It is wide and slow and crooked, dotted with tiny wooded islands. The river’s banks are strangely tranquil. She glimpses children playing on one of them, darting amongst elegant marble statues. On another island two lovers kiss in the shade of tall green trees, with no more shame that Dothraki at a wedding. Without clothing Dany cannot tell if they are slave or free. [3]
