'''Lut Gholein''', the '''Jewel of the Desert''', is an ancient trading port on the western continent of {{iw|Sanctuary Sanctuary}}, led by [[Jerhyn]] in the days of [[Diablo II]]. It's a very rich city that was unprepared for its [[demon]]ic invasion. It's the [[town]] level of [[Act II]]. | |||
==Background== | |||
Lut Gholein is the main trading port in [[Aranoch]] and the midpoint between the {{iw|Western_Kingdoms Western Kingdoms}} and {{iw|Kehjistan Kehjistan}} in the East. | |||
The city is significantly larger than what it appears to be in Diablo II, but is just resized so that players would not get lost or bored, or having too high system requirements. | |||
Lut Gholein is visited by the player in [[Diablo II]]'s Act II in order to catch up with the [[Dark Wanderer]] ([[Diablo]]) and to prevent him from freeing his brother, [[Baal]]. | |||
Diablo does what he can to slow the pursuit, including corrupting local fauna to be more hostile and reanimating a mummified {{iw|Horadrim Horadric}} mage called [[Radament]] in the city [[Sewers (Act II)|sewers]], something that in the end actually helps the hero by finding the [[Horadric Scroll]]. | |||
[[The Summoner]], the [[Sorcerer]] of [[Diablo I]], takes control of the [[Arcane Sanctuary]], releasing demons into the [[Palace]] and threatening the city. However, if this is his own mad handiwork, or if it happened through influence of Diablo is unknown. | |||
