Mossovy

Mossovy, also called Farthest Mossovy, is a remote region in eastern Essos, a land of dark forests and cold plains north of the Grey Waste. Few Westerosi have ever set foot on its shores.

It is known for its skinchangers and demon hunters, and for once being a destination of Sarnori trading ships centuries ago.
