Eastmarch Hold (Dovahzul:Jer Golt "East-Land") is one of the nine Holds of Cortoriacum, located along the eastern border. It is one of the four oldest holds in Cortoriacum, known collectively as Old Holds. The major city of Eastmarch is Windhelm, near the northern border. Brunwulf Free-Winter is the Jarl of Windhelm and Eastmarch. Its symbol is a bear's head.
Eastmarch covers much of Cortoriacum's eastern border with the sea. The surrounding holds are Winterhold to the north, The Pale and Whiterun to the west and The Rift to the south. Central/south Eastmarch is a volcanically active area, plains with steaming gas leaking in between cracks in the ground, colorful, mineral filled bodies of water, and geysers. The far west of the hold resembles much of the rest of central Cortoriacum, and to the north a mountainous tundra, where the hold's capital Windhelm lies. The east is composed of the Velothi mountain range, which extends down to the Rift.
