The town of [[D1_Tristram |Tristram]] is the first level in the game, and one that players must return to in order to buy and sell items, and replenish their potion stocks. All of the [[D1 NPCs|NPCs]] are found in Tristram, and some of them must be spoken to in order to receive quests and quest rewards. There are stairways down to all the levels in the dungeon from town, though the stairs down to the deeper dungeons do not appear until characters reach various minimum level requirements.
