Howling Hills
On this tab
The Howling Hills are a range of low hills in eastern Essos, on the edge of the Great Sand Sea. The name carries an ill reputation: those who cross them speak of bandits hiding among their slopes.
Location
The hills rise beside the Great Sand Sea, with the Plains of the Jogos Nhai as neighbors to the southeast.
No account paints them as a peaceful place: travelers who venture among their slopes say they hide bandits, and the reputation alone is enough to make most choose another road.

Battle of the Howling Hills
Legend places the battle of the Howling Hills here, where Gharak the Squint-Eyed, a jhattar of the Jogos Nhai, faced the stone giant Jhogwin.
The story says Gharak killed him, and that his death ended the line of the stone giants: Jhogwin was, according to the legend, the last of his kind.
