KOM Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Short of a reference to him actually saying that, I tend to be believe we will see Asshai in the upcoming books. My speculation is that Dany will indeed go east through Asshai.I could see this too. 'to go west, go east' or something. There's enemy fleets approaching from from the west... so with Vic's ships they could go east.. through/near the "shadow" or whatever... and circumnavigate the globe a la Magellan, at which point GRRM is all "I own all your history books." And we'd see this from some flashback as they're stuck on some big sea making for the west coast of westeros. but even then i'd only give this maybe 20% chance of happening this way.

ckal Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It hasn't just been mentioned several times, it's been mentioned several times as being very important. On top of that we have someone from Asshai manipulating Dany into going there.It's been mentioned that mysterious things come from that area. Actually going to that region for any reason has not been stated as being important, aside from that one comment from Quaithe to Dany.No he didn't he was asked if we would see Asshai in the upcomming book and he he said definitely not. The Upcomming book in question was aFfC.No, the link to the interview was from July 2011, which was right before ADWD came out, 6 years after AFFC. If you had bothered to click the link, you would see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonmag170 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Martin confirmed that we will only see Asshai from flashbacks, if at all. The quote that has been bounced around says it all. The question was VERY direct, and there was no way to take that out of context. [Will we see Asshai?]Only in flasback and memory, if at all.It doesnt get any more clear than that. That's like asking him "Is Jon dead?" and him saying "Yes." That answer seems very, very final to me.That said, we could see Asshai in a flashback. Melisandre was a PoV character in DwD, so its quite possible that she could be one again. As to Valyria: Dany and crew are all kind of right there; it would make sense that they somehow end up on the old island. I personally think that whatever the Doom was is going to turn out to be very important to the storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushido Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I agree we'll get to see Asshai, via Mel, remembering, but it won't be a trip for tourists : She'll probably ponder on things that the Wall story demands, books of prophecies, the attitude of the knowing people in Asshai, why was it that Mel had been sent to Westeros etc. Asshai will remain a mystery. As for Valyria, maybe something on its history, Marwyn has Aemon's books after all, maybe a glimpse of the Valyrian scenery from afar, like in ADwD; Maybe something from Arya's chapters and Kindly Man's lessons; Moqorro commenting. Other that, no, not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Stark Rules Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yes we will see Valyria Is there any chance we'll see Valyria? Well.... there may be. Not a great chance, mind you. The question is, is it going to be a look at Valyria now, or Valyria in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yes we will see Valyria I'm guessing not-too-distant past because while no one can sail there, a few dragon riders could potentially do a flyover. My big question is will they find Gerion Lannister sitting on a blackened beach with Brightroar and sipping a mai tai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I predict Dany or Tyrion will fly there by dragons, I wonder if they find a civilization there that Gerion has been living with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joluoto2 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 If we get another Mel chapter we might get some Asshai information from her memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Dany's interpretation but that's not necessarily what Quaithe was saying. The main points were that the route to where you want to go is not always straight and forward, and that she wasn't going to find any truth in Qarth.
