__NOTOC__
'''{{MAP infobox | name = Kur Moutains''' is Mountains | mapimage = [[File:KurMountainsMarkedMap.jpg|450px]] | connects = [[Eltibule]], [[Ilmari]], [[Gazluk]] | pclevel = 30-50 | temperature = Cold | image = [[File:Kur Mountains (smoldering fire).jpg|400px]] | portaldesc = A windy path leads to the freezing Kur Mountains, and then on to [[Gazluk]].}}The [[Kur Mountains]] are part of a massive, bitter cold mountainous regionfound north of [[Eltibule]]. Always cold and snow-covered, these rolling hills and rocky peaks form the gateway to the higher elevations of the [[Gazluk]] plateau. Although formally a Council controlled land, Orcs have repeatedly claimed the mountains as their own. Their claims are refuted by residents of the few non-orc settlements, and likely by the native [[Himamanav]].
An interesting mechanic in The Northwestern Outpost, a collection of small buildings surrounding an Inn owned by the Rakshasa merchant [[Ukorga]], provides travelers a warm respite from the cold. Despite the absence of any roads, The Council imposes a road maintenance tax on the citizens of this zonevillage.== Neighboring Regions ==; [[Eltibule]]: A mountainous but warmer land found through the mountains to the southeast.; [[Ilmari]]: A desert region to the east, this region is that the player character takes damage over time due to battered by sandstorms and plagued with decades of drought. ; [[Gazluk]]: A snowcapped plateau high in the mountains, this region has harsher conditions than [[Kur Mountains]].== Environmental Effects =={{:Environmental_Effects/Cold Mechanics}}==Points of Interest======Campfires====Several '''freezing temperaturessmoldering fires'''can be found throughout the zone. The in game notification advises the player to look If they are lit by sacrificing a single piece of wood (any type of wood works), they will provide light and warmth for some time. (e.g. 45 minutes for regeneration through equipment and skills a piece of Oak). Keeping warm in order to survive the harsh environment. Failure to take [[Kur Mountains]] is important, as the advice may lead to death by cold can inflict ''Frostbite'' and ''exposure to freezing temperaturesHypothermia.''====Abandoned Barn====A refurbished barn on the edge of [[Himamanav]] territory currently used by the merchant-crafter [[Syndra]] as a home. A Teleportation Circle is nearby.
'''Smoldering Fire''' can be found at a camp with a hut. If you light it with 1 piece ==== Northwestern Outpost ====Three buildings home to an assortment of oak wood, it will burn residents who each have their own reasons for 10 minutes during which you are relieved living in the wilderness of the freezing temperatures debuff[[Kur Mountains]]. This could be Some seek solitude, others revel in solace, and some just needed a good spot place far from The Council to hunt around if you can barely survive there (ed: perhaps it was also intended as a way to cure hide. This cluster of buildings is sometimes called '''Ukorga's Inn'Hypothermia''by travelers. * [[Ukorga]], [[Laura Neth]], [[Landri the Cold]], [[Gurki]], [[Nightshade]], [[Janet Lews]], needs testing)and [[Gloria Stonecurl]].
====Orc Camps====Two active orc camps remain in the [[File:Kur Mountains (annotated map).jpg|right|border|526px]] == Landmarks == * Small Outpost* Statehelm Mint {{Hint|Head north. A small camp can be found in the southwest between two hills, down while a larger settlement claims the cliff to northeastern hills as territory. Fires within the oceancamps can provide warmth, then follow the cliff easthowever their inhabitants are not fond out outsiders.}}
====Shrine of Ri-Shin ====
Found west of the [[Eltibule]] portal in the [[Kur Mountains]], the '''Shrine of Ri-Shin''' is an anchor of the god of plants and trees. Maintained primarily by [[Snowleaf]] and the Druids of [[Alharth]], the shrine offers rewards to those who seek the bounty of [[Ri-Shin]].
* During the [[Winter Holiday]], Druids and adventurers who can demonstrate their dedication to Ri-Shin may participate in a series of community-wide tasks. Completing each task during the holiday strengthens a buffing blessing receivable throughout the rest of the year.
* The completion of certain tasks during the event also unlocks a [[storage]] chest at the Shrine, which holds a maximum of 32 items in a year where all tasks are completed. All players receive access to this chest, even if they did not participate in the event.
* The blessing of [[Ri-Shin]] can be received by travelers standing in the shrine that speak words of praise in ''Nearby ''chat, '''Praise Ri-Shin, guardian of the shrine!'''
==== Teleportation Circles ====
There are 5 Council constructed Teleportation Circles in the [[Kur Mountains]] region.
* Outside Ukorga's Northwestern Outpost and Inn.
* Northeast of Ukorga's Inn, directly south of the [[Wolf Cave]].
* Northeast of [[Wolf Cave]] and along the coast past [[Lamashu]]'s campsite.
* Outside [[Syndra]]'s barn. Almost directly north from the [[Eltibule]] portal.
* At [[Ratuk the Thinker]]'s campsite on the glaciers in the northwest.

== Trivia ==
* [[Kur Mountains]] was completely redesigned as part of the October 10, 2022 game update.
* In late 2014, a rumor arose suggesting that the [[Statehelm Mint]] was a building hidden somewhere in the eastern mountains of Kur. Instructions to find the mythical building suggested following the northern beach shore as far east as you could go, and climbing from there.
