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.
