The Aalto (or Alto), also known as the Eastmarch Geysers[1] is a geological formation that makes up the central area of Eastmarch, in the province of Skyrim.[2][3] The volcanic tundra[3][4] interior of Eastmarch is a no-man's-land of bubbling sulfur pools, giant camps, crests, slopes, and mines.[5][6] The entire Hold is dominated by sulfur pools where very little grows, as the volcanic terrain limits farming and development, and seems sunken in compared to the higher elevations of the Rift and the towering Throat of the World.[7]
Alto Wine is a common wine found across Skyrim. It is made from Jazbay grapes, which grow in the Aalto,[2] and it was once considered treason to pick one of these grapes without express permission from the Emperor himself.[3] Reven's Warrior mentions a privately owned vineyard in the Aalto, which produced wine. Alto Wine was at one point rare and extremely expensive, and the Emperor required the Elder Council's permission to have a glass of it once a year.[2] Although growers in Skyrim were successful in improving the fruit's survivability, it came at the cost of flavor.[3]
