The Western Fell Wall Mountain Range

Geography

The Fell Wall Mountain Range is comprised of looming jagged grey stone peaks capped with stark white permafrost.  Unlike most other mountain ranges on Delenaria the Fell Wall's peaks are tall enough that only the lower third of any peak is ever without snow.The lowest peaks are around fifteen thousand feet high while the tallest peak, the White Fang is over seventy five thousand feet high, most peaks are between eighteen thousand feet and thirty four thousand feet high.
The lowest pass is at six thousand feet and is one of only four passes that isn't in a perpetual winter and impassable to all but the extraordinarily brave or desperate people.
At the far southern tip near the twin lakes the mountain range bifurcates into two distinct sets of mountains which cradle the strategically valuable ((Lock Tooth)) castle-town.
The lower slopes are cloaked in evergreen forests which grow unnaturally thick and are able to shelter the many animals and smaller plants that inhabit them.
Large amounts of water flow out from the mountains in small creeks and streams which gather rapidly into larger rivers and pooling into the lakes the region is known for.  Many large cliffs are present in between the peaks some with waterfalls so high only mist and snow touches the ground.

Fauna & Flora

At the lower edges of the mountains there exists a thriving ecosystem of verdant evergreens with spruce and fir trees being the predominant varieties.  Smaller deciduous trees do manage to hold on, on the lowest slopes as small and gnarled as they come living under the canopy of hardier trees in places where there are cleared or sparse patches. Many small creeks and streams flow throughout the lower parts of the mountains at the edge of the permafrost where the snow and ice melt and run off.
Ferns grow forming a majority of the underbrush on the lower slopes, sword ferns, deer ferns, and maidenhair ferns are the most common and largest.  At higher elevations near the timberline red ferns grow in sparse clusters usually in the shadow of a large tree or boulder that can block winds and ice from coating them.  At the fringe of where plants can survive very rarely blue ferns can be sometimes found and are a valuable resource for alchemical studies.
Moving on the upper slopes eating the frosted blades of grass in summer and grazing on iced over straw at lower altitudes the rest of the year are herds of Goral.  Often found near herds taking advantage of disturbed snow are mountain goats prized for their higher quality horns which are used in the finest decorative applications.
Instrument makers have found that trees harvested from higher up the mountain will produce richer more resonant sounds and enterprising men can get large sums of money to brave the eternal winter of the Fell Wall and return with the prized timbers.  At the furthest reaches to be explored by even the most skilled expeditionary parties it is rumored that trees, infused with a similar magic as that found in Lake Celestia, emitting a soft blue glow in the mists grow.  Although most believe these to be merely hallucinations brought on by mountain sickness, hypothermia, and possibly the effects of extended use of protection magics and exertion, simply mirages seen by desperate people on the edge of death wishing for a reason to have the adventure be worth it.
There are a plethora of bird species living around the mountains taking refuge from predation and hunting in the snowy alcoves and wind drilled caves of the high peaks, then coming down to the wooded areas to gather their food.  A unique distinction is that the western and eastern slopes of the range have two distinct sets of bird populations likely due to birds rarely if ever having a pressing need to cross.
