'''The [[Kur Moutains''' is Mountains]] are part of a massive, bitter cold mountainous regionfound north of [[Eltibule]]. An interesting mechanic in this zone, is that the player character gradually loses '''Body Heat''' over time. Losing all your Body Heat causes ''Frostbite'' Always cold and eventually ''Hypothermia''. Frostbite reduces damage dealt by 20%. If you remain frostbitten for too long, you will also get Hypothermiasnow-covered, which significantly reduces health regeneration these rolling hills and movement speed (-20% and -50%). Both effects can be healed by lighting a Smoldering Fire, or by taking cover in rocky peaks form the northwestern outpost. Left untreated, hypothermia will eventually kill you. The rate at which you lose Body Heat is affected by '''Indirect Cold Mitigation''', which can be improved through gear and abilities. In addition gateway to the smoldering campfires scatted throughout higher elevations of the zone, [[Ukorga]] can teach you how to make an [[Emergency Warmth Fire]] or [[Basic Campfire]] through [[CarpentryGazluk]]plateau. [[Spot]] teaches beast form players Although formally a Council controlled land, Orcs have repeatedly claimed the same through [[Foraging]]mountains as their own. Varying amounts Their claims are refuted by residents of Body Heat can also be restored through several [[Fire Magic]], [[First Aid]]the few non-orc settlements, [[Mentalism]] and likely by the native [[Priest]] abilities or a [[Simple Blanket]]. Finally, [[Cold Resistance Potion|Cold Resistance]] and [[Orcish Thickskin Potion|Orcish Thickskin Potions]] can boost your total Body Heat capacity, allowing you more time away from heat sources. Apparently, [[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 ''Frostbite'' and ''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.
