Ghost grass is the only plant that grows there, monsters are said to lurk everywhere, and the fish of the river Ash (whose waters are black during the day and glow green at night) are so poisonous that only fools and Shadowbinders dare eat their flesh. The World of Ice and Fire elaborated only a little on the nature of the Shadow Lands: the mountains are so tall that the canyons and valleys within, including that of the Ash, see light only at high noon, and that the region is barren of all benign life.

The tip of the peninsula points roughly southwest, with Asshai located at its narrowest point. The entire region seems to be extremely mountainous.

The Lands of Ice and Fire map book (which features a significantly different outline of eastern Essos than the TV Series) revealed that the Shadow Lands are a large, triangular peninsula that juts out from mainland Essos into the Jade Sea. Whether the inhabitants of Asshai are considered Shadow Men or not is not revealed. Shadow Men occasionally come to trade at Vaes Dothrak, where Daenerys sees them. The region is inhabited, by a people known as "Shadow Men", who are tattooed and hide their faces behind red lacquer masks. To go to Asshai is sometimes described as to "pass beneath the Shadow", though what exactly the Shadow is, or what is casting it, nobody seems to know. The ruins of Stygai, "the city of night" are found at its heart.
