Asshai is on the southernmost edge of a mountainous peninsula known as the Shadow Lands, thus the city is often called Asshai by the Shadow or Asshai-by-the-Shadow. To go to Asshai can be described as to &#8220;pass beneath the shadow&#8221;, and the area of the Shadow Lands and Asshai are sometimes referred to simply as the
