K'Dath
K'Dath is a city on the eastern edge of Essos, set among borders too vague for anyone to map with certainty. No one has ever proven its streets exist, yet it is named alongside other places from the same uncertain stretch of land, as though it belonged to the same unmapped strip.
The few accounts that mention it describe a people said to have settled there before any other known folk, given to rites no source fully describes, offered to gods the legend itself calls mad. None of it can be confirmed, and even the sources that repeat the story doubt the city is really there.

The city no one has seen
Books only
K'Dath sits between the Gray Waste to the southwest and the Shrykes' lands to the northeast. The Bleeding Sea marks its western edge, the Cannibal Sands stretch north and east, and to the southeast the ground falls away toward the Dry Deep and the Bone Town. It is a position ringed by names that already sound like a warning before anyone reaches K'Dath itself.
What is said of its people amounts to little more than hints: they would be the first and oldest inhabitants known, older than any measure of time, keeping rites no account dares to describe in full, offered to gods the legend itself calls mad. Whether the city exists at all is not settled — even those who mention it do so with the same caution used for a rumor, not a real place.
