'''Kur Moutains''' is a massive, bitter cold mountainous region.

An interesting mechanic in this zone, is that the player character takes damage over time due to the '''freezing temperatures''' (the effect appear as ''Coldbite''). Look for health regeneration through consumables and skills in order to survive the harsh environment. Failure to do so could lead to death by ''exposure to freezing temperatures''.

In addition to the ''Coldbite'' effect, the character can also catch ''Hypothermia'' and ''Frostbite''. Hypothermia significantly reduces health regeneration and movement speed (-20% and -50%), while Frostbite reduces damage dealt by 20%. Both effects can be healed by lighting a Smoldering Fire or taking cover in the northwestern outpost.

==Points of Interest==

====Campfires====
Several '''smoldering fires''' can be found throughout the zone. If you light it with 1 piece of wood (Oak and Maple works), it will burn for 10 minutes and heal ''Hypothermia'' and ''Frostbite''. Staying near the fire will also prevent the ''Biting Cold'' effect.

====Abandoned Barn====
A barn (same model as Serbule's farm) which houses another '''Smoldering Fire'''. A Teleportation Circle is nearby.

====Northern Outpost====
A very tiny community lives there: Ukorga, Laura, Landri and Gurki.

====Statehelm Mint====
*This place is not in the game yet. Please use the item that directed you to this spot as favor for [[George Madler]] in [[Eltibule]].


====Orc Camps====
There is a small orc camp to the west, and a large one to the north. There is a '''Smoldering Fire''' that can be lit in the west camp.

== Dungeons ==
* [[Kur Tower]]
* [[Wolf Cave]]

==Teleportation Circles==
* Northwest outpost
* Northern shore (east of Wolf Cave)
* ''Slightly'' southwest of Wolf Cave (northeast of the Outpost), on top of the cliff.

Animal Handling

__NOTOC__
[[File:Animal Handling (skill).jpg|thumb|right|394px|A player and his Panther pet.]]
{{Quote|
The art of taming animals and teaching them to fight alongside you.
}}
'''Animal Handling''' is currently obtained from an altar just outside the graveyard in [[Serbule]] (during alpha, later it will available through a quest).

Animal Handlers spend a ton of time with their '''pets''', raising and training them. Ancillary skills like '''Animal Husbandry''' let them breed pets to get the best genes for fighting (and best colors and appearances!). Animal Handlers have a lot of versatility because they can summon different pets for different problems, but they have to spend a lot of time out of combat raising these pets. (Hopefully this is a fun activity for them, though! It’s aimed at people who think raising and breeding virtual animals sounds fun.)<ref>http://www.eldergame.com/2012/07/a-little-more-about-evil-undead-and-pet-classes/ A little more about evil, undead, and pet classes</ref>

You will need to know how to charm an animal to get started (most players have learned how to charm rats in the [[Tutorial Cave]]). When you have a charmed animal with you, use '''Tame Pet''' to make it a permanent pet.

You can have as many pets as you have stable slots. You can buy more stable slots in town.

If your pet dies, you can either try to resuscitate it in the field, or head back to the stable to revive it for a small fee.

There's a lot more to it, and a lot more to come.<ref>In-game message as of Sept 2014</ref>

===Pets Stats===
Gathered from chat (needs tidying up):
* At skill 50 [[Old Fangsworth]] has 200 Armor and 725 health
* At skill 50 the [[Razorslash Panther]] has 130 Armor and 575 Health

==Stables==
At the '''stable''' NPC you can rename pets, resuscitate a pet, level your pets up, or release them.

; Locations
: Serbule Keep
: [[Hogan's Keep]] : there is a "temporary stable NPC" (Gisli?)

===To Get a Cat===
Get to level 20 AH, a piece of String, and visit the shrine in the SouthWest of Eltibule (near the Panthers and the boss bears).
