Yale, also known as the Mountain of Yale and Mount Yale, was a large mountain that was found in the Norselands, South of the villiage of Rötskívar; to the South of the mountain, lies the small town of Evanvösk. There are other mountains to it's East and West. To the East, there is a small valley between Yale and the next mountain. The valley leads to a beautiful field. The field is made of almost completely flat ground with lush green grass and flowers in the Spring and early Summer. Usually, during this time, herders will bring their sheep and cattle to graze on the tender grasses. As for the mountain itself, it stands higher than all those around it. It was well known for it's caverns. The mountain's interior was made up of a seemingly endless chain of caverns. After the discovery of Anðríös, the caverns were searched. But, due to the fact that navigation was nearly impossible, the searching was stopped. One legend about the caverns is that Menðsívör, the ice monster, once used Yale as his home and made his way through the mountain; this was how they were formed. Yet, the formation of the caverns remains a mystery. The mountain also supports life in many ways. It is used as a habitat for many different animals. Some of these animals include wolves, bears, rabbits, mountain lions, mountain goats, mountain sheep, caribou, wolverine, musk ox, several types of birds, and fish that live in the stream that flows through the mountain.
