Kur

"AREA 4 THE CAVERNS/THE MOUNTAIN- KUR: Here the player finally ascends from the subterranean world to the snowy peak of a mountain. It will be the first time they see the sky, the orbiting "moons" of Sudra, and the Breach."

Kur is the next area of Sudra that Trace travels through after Zi in order to activate the Repair Drones. It is an arid area with brown and tan rocks, and ancient ruins.

Trace enters Kur through its underground caverns and ascends to the forested surface mountain slopes, eventually reaching even greater heights of ice crags in the mountains, where snowfall occurs. At higher elevations, the effect of the Breach can be seen in the upper atmosphere. The area connects to E-Kur-Mah at two points to the east, while on its western side, connecting to Edin, Indi, and Zi.

In its eastern section, Kur also has rooms with Thorn Mazes, large flowers, and pools of pink acid that can harm Trace on contact, or which he can drown in if submerged. The bluish grey wreckage of Repair Drones can be found scattered on the ground all over this area. Most significantly, Kur is where Trace will find Katrahaska's room, after defeating the Variant called Gir-Tab.
