The Valyrian Peninsula is a large land extending south from Essos into the Summer Sea. It was the heartland of the Valyrian Freehold and the location of the city of Valyria. The Fourteen Flames extend across the neck of the peninsula. The peninsula was partially destroyed in the Doom four hundred years ago. Many islands were formed and low-lying areas were flooded, creating the Smoking Sea.

Landmarks
| The Fourteen Flames
|
an immense chain of volcanoes extending across the neck of the Valyrian peninsula where the Valyrians found Dragons. There were deep mines beneath the Fourteen Flames. As they grew in power the Valyrians sent their slaves to the mines beneath the Fourteen Flames, searching for gold among other things. The worst slaves were sent down to die in the red darkness of the mines. The mines of old Valyria were always hot and they grew hotter as the shafts were driven deeper and deeper. The air stank of brimstone and would sear the slave’s lungs as they breathed it. |
