The [[Cursed Lands]] is a small area between [[Nebo Terrace]] and [[The Black Curtain]].

==Shrines==
;[[Resurrection shrine]]s:
*Northwest, at the exit into [[The Black Curtain]].
*West, at the southern exit into The Black Curtain.
*Southeast, at the exit into [[Nebo Terrace]].

==Notes==
*Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 0.4% to the Tyrian [[Cartographer]] title
*This explorable area is on the only direct route from [[Lion's Arch]] to the [[Temple of the Ages]] and between the outpost [[Bergen Hot Springs]] and the Temple.
*{{Vanquisher|count = 76|low = 72|high = 83|notes=There are a lot of hidden [[Grasping Ghoul]]s.}}
** Consider starting from Temple of the Ages to get a [[party]] size of 8. Also, the path through [[the Black Curtain]] has fewer foes than the one through [[Nebo Terrace]] if you start from Bergen Hot Springs. With your party of 8, you can also consider [[caravan vanquishing]] by continuing with your party of 8 into Nebo Terrace and beyond.
** Beware of the central area on this map where two groups of [[Skeleton Mesmer]]s and [[Damned Cleric]]s are packed together with [[Zombie Warlock]]s. The warlocks stand on a slope where they can comfortably spawn [[bone minion]]s each time you kill a foe. If you are coming from one of the exits to the Black Curtain, it is advisable to run past this mob and approach it from the other side, where you can engage the warlocks alone and retain a height advantage over the mesmers and clerics. Note that if your party is wiped when you are a bit further from the group, you will resurrect at the [[resurrection shrine|shrine]] close to the exit to Nebo Terrace - which is not an altogether unwise strategy if you can spare the [[death penalty]].

==Trivia==
*Cursed Lands (non-[[War in Kryta]] area), [[Tasca's Demise]] and [[Icedome]] are the only areas in Prophecies without a friendly NPC (aside of [[Nicholas the Traveler]]). [[Dreadnought's Drift]] is a similar case, but has one conditional temporary friendly NPC in the form of the [[Avatar of Dwayna (NPC)|Avatar of Dwayna]].
** Cursed Lands is the only one outside of the [[Southern Shiverpeaks]].
