Grey Worm points out that his people, the Unsullied, are not peaceful, and they will defend Naath. Grey Worm says he will take her there after the war, but she cautions that the people of Naath are peaceful, and cannot defend themselves. Missandei responds that she would like to see Naath again. He asks if she really wants to grow old in that place, or if there is anywhere else she would still want to see. On the eve of the final battle against the White Walkers at Winterfell, Grey Worm comes to Missandei, and points out that they will always be foreigners in Westeros. Quizzically, Missandei explains that " Marriage" as such does not exist in Naath, so she finds the idea of a "bastard" to be quite an alien concept.

Davos asks if they have similar customs for bastards on Naath island where Missandei is from. Missandei doesn't know what they mean, so they literally explain that Jon's parents weren't married. Jon and Davos explain to her the system of regional surnames used in Westeros for bastard children of the nobility. Some time later, Missandei is talking with Jon and Davos again, and she politely enquires why Jon's surname is "Snow" even though House Stark has ruled the North for centuries, and his father Ned and brother Robb both had the surname "Stark", while he doesn't. He admits that he hasn't been there himself. Missandei reveals that she was born on the Island of Naath, to which Davos replies that he's heard that it's beautiful there, with palm trees and butterflies. Ser Davos meets Missandei and asks her where she's from, since he can't place her accent. Missandei recalls to Grey Worm that she is from an island called Naath, and was taken by the slavers when she was five years old. Missandei's village was attacked and burned by slavers when she was five years old, and she was captured and taken to the slaver-city of Astapor. The Summer Islands divide the Sunset Sea in the west from the Summer Sea in the east.Naath is a frequent target of slaving raids from Slaver's Bay, a region of Essos on the opposite side of the Summer Sea.
