| portaldesc = A windy path leads to the freezing Kur Mountains, and than then on to [[Gazluk]].

'''The [[Kur Moutains''' is Mountains]] are part of a massive, bitter cold mountainous regionfound north of [[Eltibule]]. An interesting mechanic in this zoneAlways cold and snow-covered, is that these rolling hills and rocky peaks form the player character takes damage over time due gateway to the '''freezing temperatures''' (higher elevations of the effect appear as ''Coldbite'')[[Gazluk]] plateau. Look for health regeneration through consumables and skills in order to survive Although formally a Council controlled land, Orcs have repeatedly claimed the harsh environmentmountains as their own. Failure to do so could lead to death Their claims are refuted by ''exposure to freezing temperatures''. In addition to residents of the ''Coldbite'' effectfew non-orc settlements, the character can also catch ''Hypothermia'' and ''Frostbite''. Hypothermia significantly reduces health regeneration and movement speed (-20% and -50%), while Frostbite reduces damage dealt likely by 20%. Both effects can be healed by lighting a Smoldering Fire or taking cover in the northwestern outpost. Apparently, native [[The CouncilHimamanav]] has imposed a road maintenance tax on '''Kur''''s citizens, though oddly enough there is no road to be found in this region. <!--Source: 'Tan skins and discuss politics' hangout with Ukorga-->

Several '''smoldering fires''' can be found throughout the zone. If you light it with 1 they are lit by sacrificing a single piece of wood (Oak and Maple any type of wood works), it they will burn provide light and warmth for 10 some time. (e.g. 45 minutes and heal for a piece of Oak). Keeping warm in the [[Kur Mountains]] is important, as the cold can inflict ''HypothermiaFrostbite'' and ''Frostbite''Hypothermia. Staying near the fire will also prevent the ''Biting Cold'' effect. 

A refurbished barn which houses another '''Smoldering Fire'''. on the edge of [[Himamanav]] territory currently used by the merchant-crafter [[Syndra]] is living insideas a home. A Teleportation Circle is nearby.

A very tiny community lives there: Three buildings home to an assortment of residents who each have their own reasons for living in the wilderness of the [[Kur Mountains]]. Some seek solitude, others revel in solace, and some just needed a place far from The Council to hide. This cluster of buildings is sometimes called '''Ukorga's Inn''' by travelers. * [[Ukorga]], [[Laura Neth]], [[Landri the Cold]], [[Gurki]], [[Nightshade]], and [[Janet Lews]], and [[Gloria Stonecurl]].

There is a Two active orc camps remain in the [[Kur Mountains]]. A small orc camp to can be found in the westsouthwest between two hills, and while a large one to larger settlement claims the northnortheastern hills as territory. There is a '''Smoldering Fire''' that Fires within the camps can be lit in the west campprovide warmth, however their inhabitants are not fond out outsiders.
