The bit about going east before reaching the west has some fans thinking that Daenerys can reach her ultimate destination by heading east from Meereen, trudging through the Lands of Always Winter, and invading Westeros from the north. This line from Quaithe never made it onto the show (Quaithe in general has a lot less presence on the show), but Dany thinks about it a fair amount in the books. To go forward you must go back and to touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow. To go north, you must journey south, to reach the west you must go east. This theory ties into something Daenerys hears from Quaithe, the Shadowbinder she meets in Qarth, in A Clash of Kings. The area marked with a star would be the planet’s North Pole, located smack dab in the middle of the Lands of Always Winer, naturally. Commenter Alternating_Sum pitched in with this handy three-dimensional-looking version. Martin’s world is curved like ours, the far east of Essos may connect to the far north Westeros through the Lands of Always Winter, as shown here. Might Essos link to Westeros in another way? Some theorists figure that, assuming George R.R.
