'''[[New Tristram''' is one of the [[town]]s in [[Diablo III]]. It's is a wretched, rotting corpse shell of a townits former self, grown up on with some burned down buildings still not removed. A "New Tristram" grew from the ruins shell of the old Tristram that blossomed during past agesone, but has now fallen back into decaybuilt by the adventurers who sought the treasures of the [[Cathedral]].

The wilderness surrounding Tristram will be is beautiful with lush fields and picturesque rivers. It's located fairly close to the starting town in [[Diablo III]].[http://www.diablowikifishing village called Wortham.net/WWI_2008:_D3_Lore_and_Environmental_Art_Panel]

 ==Description==[[File:Map-new-tristram.jpg|thumb|300px|Overhead map. August 2010.]]Tristram is a shell of its former self, with some burned down buildings still not removed. A "New Tristram" grew from the shell of the old one, built on the adventurers who seeked the treasures of the [[Tristram Cathedral|Cathedral]], but when they left, the new town also lost it's soul. The wilderness surrounding Tristram is beautiful with lush fields and picturesque rivers. [http://www.diablowiki.net/Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0020] It's located fairly close to the fishing village called [[Wortham]].  ===Size and Arrangement=== It's not yet known just how large New Tristram is, or how the town and surrounding areas are laid out. The town and a small area leading up to the Cathedral were seen in the 2008 BlizzCon demo, but that was a special version of the area, created just for that playable demo. There were no NPC merchants at that time, and no waypoints or other features that will be included in the final game. The best recent view of the area is seen in the overlay map to the right, from a screenshot revealed in August 2010. That only shows a bit of the Caravan area, and seems to be a [[WiP]], with only the [[waypoint]] and [[stash]] marked on the map, and the only NPC designation the !, presumably over [[Deckard Cain]]. The [[blacksmith]], who the player was talking to at the time of the screenshot, isn't even shown. ==BackgroundHistory==

Only a small number of villagers stayed and saw a lone hero arrive and defeat the fetid butcher demon. This hero was the one [[Deckard Cain]] befriended, and with his guidance, he ventured further down into the maze and defeated the [[Skeleton King]] as well as killing Lazarus.

The hero traversed all the way into the [[Buning Burning Hells|Hell]] and defeated [[Diablo]].

What happened here is now , as with most of the [[Diablo Legend]], something dismissed out of hand by most citizens of the world. People think of the [[undead]] monstrosities, demonic possession and the monarchy driven to lunacy to be part of a peculiar mold upon the bread or perhaps a fouling of the water. It was just an unfortunate event that people went mad.

[[New Tristram ]] is the starting town of [[Diablo III]],[http://www.diablowiki.net/WWI_2008:_D3_Lore_and_Environmental_Art_Panel] one of the many things the [[D3 Team]] has been inspired of from [[Diablo I]].  There's a lot of concept art of Tristram, but it's not clear how much was just for background information or reference. The New Tristram so far seen in the game has been a zombie-infested ruins; if there's more of a town waiting to be discovered in the final game, we've not seen in-game evidence of it yet. 

Numerous screens have shown New The Tristram, but only the ruined, monster-infested portion of the town. The old (Diablo 2) lay in ruins and is now named [[BlizzCon 2008The Old Ruins]] demo build started in a very small encampment just outside of New and Tristram, but there were no NPC has been renamed [[merchant]]s available. It's assumed that the New Tristram we'll see in the final game will be larger and have various merchants and [[quest]]-giving [[NPC]]s, but this is just conjecture.
