Īside from traders, few from Westeros visit Asshai and little is known about it.
Caravans from Asshai traverse the Bone Mountains to reach Vaes Dothrak. Trading ships from Westeros and the Free Cities bound for Asshai go east through the Summer Sea and the Jade Sea, which are connected by the straits at Qarth, the Jade Gates. The city is usually traveled to by ship, but it can also be reached overland by caravans. Gold and gems are also common exports, though some say the gold of the Shadow Lands is as unhealthy as the fruits that grow there. It exports goods such as amber and dragonglass. TradeĪsshai is a popular trading destination for ships, part of the traders' circle in the Jade Sea, however not nearly as important as Yi Ti. Structures include bazaars, halls, hovels, palaces, and temples. The buildings, streets, and walls of Asshai are made out of black stone that seems to drink the light making the city appear to be a dark and gloomy place. By night only one building in ten shows a light. The population of Asshai, however, is no more than that of a good-sized market town. Asshai sprawls for leagues across both sides of the Ash, and its great walls allegedly could contain Volantis, Qarth, King's Landing, and Oldtown combined.
