Apart from Westeros, the prequel series will also explore "mysteries of the East." It's not clear what that means just yet, but there are a number of intriguing possibilities.

It could be that it tooks us to Asshai and the Shadow Lands, or to the Great Empire of Yi Ti, or perhaps to the rise of Valyria, and the Old Ghiscari Empire before it, with Grazdan the Great one of the few potential characters known from that time and place who could be introduced.

All of these lands are shrouded in mystery, and yet through their connections to magic, dragons, and the Long Night could all have pivotal roles in the series, which should make for some exciting storytelling (not to mention visual) possibilities.
