Editing Haunted forest (section)

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[Jeor Mormont]], [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], leads a [[great ranging]] northwest from Castle Black into the haunted forest in search of [[Mance Rayder]]'s [[free folk|wildling]] host and the missing [[Benjen Stark]]. [[Samwell Tarly]] is frightened of the forest,{{ref|ACOK|6}} and even veteran brothers become more somber as they travel deeper into the wood.{{ref|ACOK|13}}

Each [[wildling]] village found by the ranging has been abandoned, and foragers find little game in the forest.{{ref|ACOK|13}} The Night's Watch stop at [[Craster's Keep]], and [[Craster]] explains that the villages have been emptied because Mance has been gathering the wildlings in the [[Frostfangs]].{{ref|ACOK|23}}

Lord Commander Mormont has the Watch encamp at the [[Fist of the First Men]], and foresters cut down trees for firewood. [[Jarman Buckwell]]'s sharpest-eyed men hide in trees as scouts. Near the base of the hill, [[Ghost]] leads Jon to a buried cache containing [[dragonglass]] knives, spearheads, arrowheads, and an old warhorn.{{ref|ACOK|34}} When [[Qhorin Halfhand]]'s men from the [[Shadow Tower]] arrive at the Fist, Qhorin explains they had been delayed by [[Alfyn Crowkiller]]'s band.{{ref|ACOK|43}} Jeor sends ranging parties led by Qhorin, Jarman, and [[Thoren Smallwood]] to scout in the nearby mountains.{{ref|ACOK|43}}
