Three routes penetrate the Bone Mountains. They connect the Dothraki Sea and Qarth with the unknown and exotic lands to the East:

Quotes
The idea was to do something representing the lands and seas of which, say, a maester of the Citadel might be aware... and while the maesters know more about Asshai and the lands beyond than a medieval monk knew about Cathay, distance remains a factor, and past a certain point legends and myths will creep here. Here there be winged men, and such.
