'''The [[Kur Moutains''' is 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]].

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]].
