Jerall Mountains
Basic Info
Type: Region Part of: County Bruma
Location
Nearby Locations
Bruma Colovian Highlands to the west. Great Forest to the southeast. Heartlands to the southwest. Valus Mountains to the east.

The Jerall Mountains are the highest mountains in the Province of Cyrodiil, and straddle most of the northern border. The province of Skyrim lies on other side of the range and in many ways this is Nord territory.

Perhaps the most rugged region in Cyrodiil, the Mountains are snow-covered and there is little vegetation on the ground. They are very steep and travel is mostly by path only, especially near the border with the Highlands. One path leads from a clearing west of Sancre Tor, climbs across the back of the ridge to Hermaeus Mora's Shrine, then switchbacks down the south side to Echo Cave. Farther east, the mountains are more temperate, and a valley runs from Applewatch to Bruma. Another path runs north from the Orange Road and branches out to Bruma and Applewatch.

[edit] Flora and Fauna

The most abundant plant in the region is the Clouded Funnel Cap. Milk Thistle, Motherwort, and Wormwood grow in sparse clumps, usually along the trails.

Wolves and bears are common.

[edit] Locations

Bruma, the Snowy City, lies nestled in the Jerall Mountains near the border with Skyrim. Alessia Ottus accurately notes in her Guide to Bruma that the city "is more Nord than Nibenese," but unsurprisingly complains of the "terrible cold and discomfort" and accuses the citizens of drunkenness three times. [1]

The farmstead Applewatch braves this rough terrain as does Lord Rugdumph's Estate on the border with the Valus Mountains. Far north the Temple of the Ancestor Moths sits in quiet seclusion.

[edit] Points of Interest

The region's icy remoteness and spectacular views add to its mystical nature, and three Shrines (Azura's, Hermaeus Mora, and Namira) call the Jeralls home.

The landmarks Dive Rock and Gnoll Mountain are notable for their extremely high elevations and proximity to nearby cliffs. At the end of the north-bound road from Bruma sits Dragonclaw Rock. Situated on the highest peak in all of Cyrodiil, the wizard's plug-in Frostcrag Spire sits east of Bruma and just above Gnoll Mountain.
