			===Kurast Levels===
			Kurast is so big it is represented in multiple levels in Diablo II, even though other great cities like [[Lut Gholein]] instead has been shrunken to a small [[town]]-sized area. This is how it is presented in D2:
			* [[Kurast Docks]] - Separated from the main town, by the great river that runs out to the {{iw\|Twin_Seas Twin Seas}}.
			* [[Lower Kurast]] - Outer sprawl of the city. Overrun by jungle, monster and fanatics.
			* [[Kurast Bazaar]] - Former trading district of Kurast. Rich area.
			* [[Sewers (Act III)\|Sewers]] - A must in any larger city, and classical Diablo dungeoneering.
			* [[Upper Kurast]] - The finer living areas of Kurast. Rich people accomodations.
			* [[Kurast Causeway]] - A handy massive road within the city for quick access to [[Travincal]].
			* ''[[Travincal]]'' - The holy city within the city. Compare it to the Vatican in Rome.

			==Background==
			[[File:Kurast_Docks_jigsaw.jpg\|thumb\|right\|500px\|Overlay of Kurast Docks.]]
			[[File:Kurast_Docks.jpg\|thumb\|Kurast Docks [[stash]].]]
			The docks of greater [[Kurast]] were never the main hub, other than for some trading and to load/unload wares. Kurast itself was the second largest city in all of [[Khejistan]] before the [[demon]]ic invasion by the [[Dark Wanderer]]'s entourage and the other [[Prime Evil]]s. Kurast used to be a great sprawling city located in the jungles' western coast.

	[[File:~~Kurast_Docks~~.jpg\|thumb\|Kurast ~~docks main part~~.]]
			Shortly before the events of [[Diablo II]], Kurast was made the capital of Kehjistan, which previously was {{iw\|Caldeum Caldeum}}.


			The city was attacked in three ways:
			* The Jungle Plague that made the jungle grow and "act" in unnatural ways, including corrupting and twisting the local fauna to become dangerous, or more dangerous.
			* [[Mephisto]] corrupted many {{iw\|Zakarum Zakarum}} priests using the [[Compelling Orb]], and possession of {{iw\|Sankekur Sankekur's}} mind and soul. He made himself head of the Zakarum church by ordering controlled priests to kill the current {{iw\|Que-Hegan Que-Hegan}}, [[Khalim]], who was impossible to corrupt.
			* [[Demon]]s from Hell arrived as well.


			The Docks were protected by magical spells stopping the jungle, and demonical creatures from invading it, but there's only a small bit left of it. Native trader [[Meshif]]is totally shattered when he see what has happened to his homeland, asking the player to save the city from the Jungle Plague.


			* For more lore information, see '''<span class="plainlinks">[http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Kurast_Docks#Related_Articles Related Articles]''' below.


			===Diablo II Story===
			[[File:Npc-ormus.jpg\|thumb\|right\|[[Ormus]], the weird [[Sorcerer]].]]
			The player arrives to this almost completely ruined city and sets out not only to stop the [[Dark Wanderer]], but also save [[Kurast]], and one of the first things he does is helping the strange [[Sorcerer]] [[Ormus]] (who has some quite interesting {{iw\|Ormus lore information}}) securing the spells that keeps the jungle out.


			Continuing towards the original plan for travelling to Kurast, to stop the Dark Wanderer, the player seeks relics of the former {{iw\|Que-Hegan Que-Hegan}}, [[Khalim]], in order to create an artefact known as [[Khalim's Will]] that will be able to destroy the [[Compelling Orb]] preventing entry to [[Mephisto]]'s domain, as well as corrupting the Zakarum priesthood.


			In the end, the hero kills the [[High Council]] and takes on [[Mephisto]] himself, continuing to the [[Pandemonium Fortress]] in [[Act IV]].
