==Quotes== [[File:Anders Finer Asha Greyjoy.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Asha Greyjoy]], by Anders Finer Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] {{quote|The [[flint]] hills rose higher and wilder with each passing mile, until by the fifth day they had turned into mountains, cold blue-grey giants with jagged promontories and snow on their shoulders. When the wind blew from the north, long plumes of ice crystals flew from the high peaks like banners.{{ref|AGOT|13}}|thoughts of [[Tyrion Lannister]]}} {{quote|'''Meera''': Up and down, then down and up. Then up and down again. I hate these stupid mountains of yours, Prince Bran.<br>'''Bran''': Yesterday you said you loved them.<br>'''Meera''': Oh, I do. [[Howland Reed|My lord father]] told me about mountains, but I never saw one till now. I love them more than I can say.{{ref|ASOS|24}}|[[Meera Reed]] and [[Bran Stark]]}} {{quote|The [[old gods]] are strong in those mountains. The [[northern mountain clans|clansmen]] will not suffer insults to their [[heart tree]]s.{{ref|ADWD|17}}|[[Jon Snow]] to [[Melisandre]]}} {{quote|The [[moon]] was almost full, the night so clear she could see the mountains, their peaks crowned with snow. Cold and bleak and inhospitable, but beautiful in the moonlight. Their summits glimmered pale and jagged as a row of sharpened teeth. The foothills and the smaller peaks were lost in shadow.{{ref|ADWD|26}}|thoughts of [[Asha Greyjoy]]}} {{quote|Neither [[Torghen Flint|Flint]] nor [[Brandon Norrey|Norrey]] had turned their cups over to spill their [[wine]] upon the floor. That might betoken a certain acceptance. ''Or perhaps they just hate to waste good [[southron]] wine. They will not have tasted much of it up in those stony hills of theirs.''{{ref|ADWD|49}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}} {{quote|It has always been a harsh life up there. When the snows fall and food grows scarce, their young must travel to the [[winter town]] or take service at one [[castle]] or the other. The old men gather up what strength that remains in them and announce that they are going hunting. Some are found come spring. More are never seen again.{{ref|ADWD|49}}|[[Jon Snow]] to [[Alys Karstark]]}}
