==Ureh in Diablo III==
'''Ureh''' was thought to have a very high probability to be a playable town in [[Diablo III]]. A concept art piece, shown on the right, was named Ureh and there are various official concept art pieces of Ureh seen also in the [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=547&page=2 image gallery] as well as being included in the introduction cinematic.

Knaak]] called [[Diablo: The Kingdom of Shadow]]. Seen in the coverIII, Ureh was as a central town in the story.

The sort of location it is would also support it, as it's highly mystical in nature, and really anything could happen there, storywise.
==Ureh in the novels==
