Mossovy

Mossovy is recorded in the account of Corlys Velaryon’s third voyage aboard the Sea Snake, placing its bleak, cold shores among the far-northern destinations reached by a Westerosi sailor.

Recorded Voyage

On his third voyage in the Sea Snake, Corlys took the Shivering Sea route. He became the first Westerosi to navigate the Thousand Islands and visit the bleak, cold shores of N’ghai and Mossovy. The account names Mossovy as a destination but provides no further description of its people, settlements, or geography.

Place in the Account

Mossovy’s significance here lies in the extent of Corlys’s travels: it appears at the far edge of a voyage that carried a Westerosi ship into waters and among places previously unvisited by Westerosi sailors. Its brief mention contrasts with the detail given to the trade goods and wealth of Corlys’s other voyages, leaving Mossovy defined chiefly by its remote, cold shores.
