'''Kurast''' was the capital city of {{iw|Kehjistan Kehjistan}} during the time of [[Diablo II]], and the second largest city in the empire, after {{iw|Caldeum Caldeum}}.
__TOC__
==Background==
[[File:Kurast_Docks_jigsaw.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The small [[Kurast Docks]] are that has not been affected by the demonic corruption.]]
Most of Kurast was overrun by the "jungle-plague" created by the [[Prime Evils]], or terrorised by the {{iw|Zakarum Zakarum}} priests who were under control by [[Mephisto]]. One of the parts of the city that were not overrun was the [[Kurast Docks]], an area separated from the main city to handle trade by sea, where the player starts in the game.
When [[Mephisto]]'s [[Compelling Orb]] was smashed and the Prime Evil killed, life went back to normal very quickly in Kurast, and 20 years later, people only speak of it as a freak series of events, like a riot or another minor upheaval in their lives.

==Diablo II Levels==
Kurast is so big it is represented in multiple levels in Diablo II, even though other great cities like [[Lut Gholein]] instead has been shrunken to a small [[town]]-sized area. This is how it is presented in D2:
* [[Kurast Docks]] - Separated from the main town, by the great river that runs out to the {{iw|Twin_Seas Twin Seas}}.
* [[Lower Kurast]] - Outer sprawl of the city. Overrun by jungle, monster and fanatics.
* [[Kurast Bazaar]] - Former trading district of Kurast. Rich area.
* [[Sewers (Act III)|Sewers]] - A must in any larger city, and classical Diablo dungeoneering.
* [[Upper Kurast]] - The finer living areas of Kurast. Rich people accomodations.
* [[Kurast Causeway]] - A handy massive road within the city for quick access to [[Travincal]].
* ''[[Travincal]]'' - The holy city within the city. Compare it to the Vatican in Rome.
