Ghaen
Ghaen is an island in the Gulf of Grief, off the southern coast of Essos, at the point where the sea narrows into the Ghiscari Strait. Its place on the map is that of a boundary: it marks the outer edge of that channel, beside the smaller island where New Ghis stands.

The edge of the strait

Ghaen has no recorded history beyond its position. It is an island in the Gulf of Grief, off the southern coast of Essos, and its role in the region's geography is to close off the outer end of the Ghiscari Strait.
To the south lies another, smaller island where New Ghis stands. Ghaen, with no city or people noted in the record, remains the point that seals that channel before it opens onto the gulf.
