==Ureh in Diablo III==
'''Ureh''' was thought to have a very high probability to be a playable town in [[Diablo III]]. A concept art piece, shown on the right, was named Ureh and there are various official concept art pieces of Ureh seen also in the [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=547&page=2 image gallery] as well as being included in the introduction cinematic.
Nevertheless, [[Image:Ureh.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ureh on the [[world map]Jay Wilson].]]confirmed Ureh was also a featured in a [[removed Diablo novel]] by [[Richard A. Knaak]] called [[Diablo: The Kingdom of Shadow]]. Seen in the coverIII, Ureh was as a central town in the story.

===Ured in Diablo III Expansion===
Since Diablo III most likely will have two expansions, and there's already considerable work having gone in to Ureh, both in concept art as well as modelling it for the cinematic, it is likely it will be one of the locations we'll see in an expansion. The sort of location it is would also support it, as it's highly mystical in nature, and really anything could happen there, storywise.
==Ureh in the novels==
