The mountains of Ur lie in the center of the [[Rosharan]] supercontinent. They run east to west; in the west, they split into two parts turning north and south, forming a sideways Y shape. They border a number of central Rosharan nations, including [[Yulay]] and [[Tu Bayla]] in the north, [[Jah Keved]]'s [[Bavland]] in the east, [[Triax]], [[Tu Fallia]], [[Greater Hexi]] |

The mountains are cold, barren |
The mountains are cold, barren and incredibly high; only the tallest [[highstorm]]s reach anywhere close to their peaks.{{book ref|sa4|102}} A deep layer of pristine white snow is a permanent fixture of the environment, and life is sparse outside a few livable areas.{{book ref|sa4|18}} Up there, the air is frigid, full of [[coldspren]] clinging to any surface.{{book ref|sa3|8}} The air pressure is so low as to pose difficulties for people who wish to live there.{{book ref|sa4|111}} Far lower, however, the mountains are also home to the verdant [[Valley]] of the [[Nightwatcher]], full of all manner of plant and animal life.{{book ref|sa3|114}} |

Ur itself is a mountain that no longer exists. Originally, it stood in the very center of the mountains, where the range splits into the northward and southward branch.{{map ref|Roshar}} At some point in the distant past, it was reshaped into the tower city of [[Urithiru]], which stands there to this day.{{book ref|sa4|83}} The mountains itself do not seem to have a name of their own, and take their name after Ur.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}} |
