==Possible Relation to Diablo III==
[[Image:ureh-diablo-3-cinematic.jpg|300px|right|thumb|The fabled City of [[Ureh]] built on the slopes of Mountain [[Nymyr]]]]The cinematic intro of [[Diablo III]] shown at the [[WWI 2008|Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2008 in Paris]] showed a ruined city resting on the wall of a mountain. The ruined statues came to life suddenly. This could mean Blizzard was hinting players will visit the ruins of [[Ureh]] in Mountain [[Nymyr]]. These locations have up until 2008 only appeared in the novel [[Diablo: The Kingdom of Shadow]] by [[Richard A. Knaak]].
This stirred a lot of excitement among Diablo lore fans who had previously read this novel. Richard A. Knaak hinted on 2006 that Blizzard had big plans for Zayl the Necromancer, one of the main characters in this novel. Ureh is located in the Swamp Lands, a large region on the southeastern side of the world of [[Sanctuary]] which is known to be the secret homeland of the necromancers.<br><br>
