[[Image:Haedrigeamon.jpg|left|thumb|55px~~|Haedrig Eamon~~]]'''Haedrig Eamon''' is an [[Artisan]] Blacksmith in Diablo 3. He is [[New Tristram]]'s Blacksmith, making weapons, armor and anything that is required for the town as well as its guard. Being an Artisan, he can ~~do some pretty unique things~~also socket items, ~~which can be read below~~and craft a wide variety of special items as well.

==Lore/Backstory==

~~N/A~~Haedrig was a young husband and father in New Tristram, when the fiery [[Meteor]] crashed down through the [[Monastery]]. In the chaos that followed, his wife and child were slain and resurrected as hideous zombies. Brokenhearted over their undead state, Haedrig beseeches the hero to find them and destroy them, putting their souls to rest. Once the deed is done, Haedrig joins with the player out of gratitude and a desire to leave the scene of his tragedy. Traveling with the [[Caravan]], Haedrig puts his blacksmithing talents to their best use, assisting the hero in his trails and travails.

~~==Getting the Blacksmith==~~

Upon reaching New Tristram, the player may take up a quest to help Haedrig, whose family has been killed in the initial attack on Tristram and transformed into zombies. He tasks the player with laying his family to rest. Upon completion of the Quest, you earn his trust and Haedrig joins the player's [[Caravan]], following him on his journey throughout [[Sanctuary]].

Once he levels up, Haedrig offers more crafting recipes, more/better items sold and is visually Upgraded.
