mountains mountains mountains!

today im about to read a story about sacred mountains here are three questions that i would like answers

1.what is so special about them?
2. how tall are they?
3.what are the mountains called?

after reading the story I found out the names Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and tongariro, I also learned that the mountains were once warriors and gods who fought for a woman called pihanga which is also what makes them so special.

Battle of the mountains:

It was also similar because they both talked about mountains that were warriors who fought hard to win love but battle of the mountains had more ajectives than the first story, sacred mountains
3 things I learned

1.the mountains were once gods and warriors
2.mountains have feelings
3. that mountains actually have genders
4. mountains can move
5. one of the mountains peaks got cut off in battle
my questions:

why did the mountains fight they could have made an agreement?
how much damage did the war make?
why couldn't they all just find other mountain partners?
