The Ash Mountains are literally mountains with snow that is grey and dingy. No one, but the immortals, really know why. Its said that the mountains were actually a volcano and it exploded one day. Spewing ash into the air and it mixed with the snow, making it grey. Some say that the ash is still falling but no one can really confirm it. You can often find drafts moving through here, as the snow is lighter and fluffy. Not as packed in as many of the areas in the North that have snow. The snow flies around with even a puff of air from your lungs. Foals dont usually come into these lands unless they are with their mother. As they can easily get lost in the higher areas of snow. Because its all one colour and flat looking many horses dont see the drops where the snow fills a hole and often fall into the hole. If you're not careful you'll end up walking into a hole, falling and possibly finding a horse who died of a broken bone next to you. Many of the holes are deep but lucky for you Mafia often has patrols look carefully around these lands. As he doesnt wish for anyone else to die in the holes. Old horses that want to die often come here, trying to die. Why no one really knows but it seems to have a pull on the psyche of depressed equines.
