The '''mountains of Ur''' are a mountain range in central Roshar.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}} [[Urithiru]] is located there.{{book ref|sa4|83}}▼

== Geografía ==
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]] and [[Marat]] to the south, and [[Emul]] and [[Azir]] in the east.{{map ref|Roshar}}
The mountains are cold, barren and incredibly high; reaching a hight of at least 15 thousand feet{{book ref|tsm|19}} where 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}}
==
The region is sparsely inhabited, with most cities in the lower foothills; the largest settlements there are the mining city of [[Zawfix]] in [[Azir]] and [[Silnasen]], in [[Jah Keved]] borderlands.{{map ref|Roshar}} No country claims ownership over the mountains themselves, perhaps due to the difficulties of settling there.{{map ref|Roshar}} Nonetheless, there are still people who live there, most of them in small, isolated villages.{{book ref|sa2|i|10}}
At least two unique [[spren]] make their home in the mountains of Ur. In the tower city itself lives the [[Sibling]], Urithiru's own spren, responsible for maintaining the city's infrastructure.{{book ref|sa4|111}} Far lower, in the [[Valley]], the [[Nightwatcher]] holds her court. It's also where [[Cultivation]] will occasionally manifest.{{book ref|sa3|114}} The [[Unmade]] [[Re-Shephir]] also lived there for hundreds of years; it's unknown if she remained in the mountains following [[Shallan]] banishing her from Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|30}}
