'''New Tristram''' is one of the [[town]]s in [[Diablo III]]. It's a wretched, rotting corpse of a town, grown up on the ruins of the old Tristram that blossomed during past ages, but has now fallen back into decay. ==Background==Tristram, and the much older [[Tristram Cathedral]] that used to be a [[Horadrim|Horadric]] monastery, is located near the river [[Talsande]]. [[Abd al-Hazir]] mentions the the rise and fall of New Tristram in his [[Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0016|sixteenth entry]] of his [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir|Writings]]. ::''New Tristram has been in existence for several years, though the exact date of its founding is unclear. Originally simply a collection of merchants looking to profit on adventurers and travellers drawn by legends of riches within the old cathedral, it slowly set down roots and became an established town. As soon as the cathedral was looted bare, however, the adventurers and travellers stopped coming, and New Tristram found itself in decline. The town is now comprised mostly of depressing shacks; the inn is the only building that looks even the least bit habitable.''
