A map showing the location of the Braavosian Coastlands on the continent of Essos.
The Braavosian Coastlands form the north-western coast of Essos along the shores of the Narrow Sea. They run south from the Free City of Braavos towards its southern neighbor, Pentos.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Braavos is the most powerful city-state on the Narrow Sea, but is constrained by the geographic limitations of the city (located on a series of small islands in a lagoon). To overcome this, it is presumed that Braavos has established colonies and other settlements on the coastline to the south.
