The majestic Jerall Mountains are one of the largest and most prominent mountain ranges on the continent, forming a great horizontal barrier between the provinces of Cyrodiil and Skyrim. They are, themselves, merely the foothills of the Throat of the World.

The southern valleys which fall under the jurisdiction of Cyrodiil are covered in thick forests of pine and snow gum forests. Ice-cold rivers and glaciers feed into clear mountain lakes, or run down to meet lake Rumare.

The upper peaks are uninhabitable, covered in ice and eternal snowstorms - some claim Morihaus rages eternally in these high places. Safe passage is only possible through the ancient caravan way of Pale Pass. The valleys are home to a number of settlements, such as the fortified city of Bruma with its famous winter markets.
