It was scrolls that allowed that - 3 of them as I recall.
All you needed was a feather fall spell to cast at the end to land
safely.

I still remember those boots - due to a glitch, when I turned into a
vampire while wearing the boots, their speed boost got added in and I
had something like 220% of max speed.
If you remember the start village, there was a dwarven ruin some
distance north on top of a hill and running and jumping from the top of
that I landed in the village.
Took near lethal levels of damage though.

Morrowind was pretty damn good for it's time, albeit too brown.

Morrowind with Skyrim level graphics would be pretty good to play.
Tried replaying it, but the original graphic look so horrible now
compared to the newer games (especially after mods.)
The character graphics were just so low res.
