Editing Northern mountains (section)

==Geography==
[[Jon Snow]] describes the mountains as located west of the [[kingsroad]] and south of the [[Gift]].{{ref|ADWD|17}} ''[[The Lands of Ice and Fire]]'' depicts the spine of the mountains as extending north from [[Winterfell]] in the south through the Gift as far as the [[Shadow Tower]] and the [[Gorge]].{{ref|TLOIAF|Westeros}} [[Beyond the Wall]], the mountains transition into the [[Frostfangs]].{{ref|TLOIAF|Beyond the Wall}} A large forest separates the northernmost mountains from [[Castle Black]] to the east along the [[Wall]]. In the west, the foothills of the mountains reach the [[Bay of Ice]]. Farther south, the flint foothills of the eastern mountains roll past the kingsroad to the forest of the [[Last Hearth]].{{ref|TLOIAF|Westeros}} The [[wolfswood]] extends west and east of the southern mountains. The sources of the [[Last River]] and [[Long Lake]] are found in the mountains.{{ref|TLOIAF|Westeros}}

The mountains have deep, blue lakes, and numerous [[pine]]y woods. The foothills have russet and gold [[autumn]] leaves, but the mountains themselves have grey-green [[sentinel]]s, [[spruce]], [[fir]], and [[soldier pine]]s. The hills contain fish in streams and small game, but wildlife is scarcer in the mountains. Other animals include [[owl]]s, [[eagle]]s, and pale goats,{{ref|ASOS|24}} as well as the herds{{ref|ADWD|17}} and shaggy [[garron]]s{{ref|ADWD|42}} of the clans. There are no roads in the twisted mountain valleys and high glens,{{ref|ASOS|24}} with the only paths little more than goat tracks.{{ref|ADWD|17}}
