===The Horadrim===
Although villages grew and thrived around the shell of the old Monastery, no one knew of the dark, secret passageways that stretched into the cold earth beneath it. None could have dreamed of the burning red gem that pulsed within the labyrinth's heart....
A [[meteor]] has been seen darting across the skies, crashing straight down into the [[Tristram Cathedral|Cathedral]], but seemingly without hurting either Leah or Cain. The latter ventured down the hole to try and find more magical tomes to explain the events, later rescued by the [[Barbarian]] character.
Exactly what this meteor is, no one knowknows. If it's just some sort of cosmic stone or an [[angel]] like [[Tyrael]] or even a [[demon]] is still a mystery.

::''It's hard to estimate size since the path you take through the area is so winding; there aren't any straight roads and the houses and boulders and dead trees are scattered everywhere. But I'd say the whole area is maybe 6 or 8x 8 times the size of {{iw|Tristram Tristram in D2}}. I think it was a non-random area; possibly the ruins and other town elements change around slightly from game to game, but the overall size and shape remained the same in each game I played.''
