__NOTOC__
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 village.

==Points of Interest==
====Campfires====
====Abandoned Barn====
A refurbished barn (same model on the edge of [[Himamanav]] territory currently used by the merchant-crafter [[Syndra]] as Serbule's farm) which houses another '''Smoldering Fire'''a home. A Teleportation Circle is nearby.
====Northern Northwestern Outpost====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]], [[LauraNeth]], [[Landri and the Cold]], [[Gurki. ====Statehelm Mint====Head north]], [[Nightshade]], down the cliff to the ocean[[Janet Lews]], then follow the cliff east (to be confirmed)and [[Gloria Stonecurl]].
====Orc Camps====
====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.

== 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.
