 ==Background==[[File:Harrogath_jigsaw.jpg|right|thumb|500px|Overlay of Harrogath.]][[File:Mon-shenk01.jpg|thumb|170px|right|[[Shenk the Overseer]].]][[File:Npc-qual-kehk.jpg|thumb|right|[[Qual-Kehk]].]][[File:Npc-anya.jpg|thumb|right|[[Anya]].]][[File:Mon-baal1.jpg|thumb|170px|right|[[Baal]] in combat.]]Harrogath is one of many [[Barbarian]] fortifications around and on [[Mount Arreat]]. The town as well as the people is there to guard and keep the {{iw|Worldstone Worldstone}} safe from everyone.  ===Sieged===Being the {{iw|Children_of_Bul-Kathos Children of Bul-Kathos}}, and never even trusted any outsider from even entering the mountainous region without pain of death, the Barbarians of Harrogath are naturally quite reluctant to trust the new heroes. Only [[Malah]], the fort's healer believes the heroes can be of use. The last surviving Elder of the Council of Elders, [[Nihlathak]], is especially mistrusting.  However, after going out on the battlefield of the siege against Harrogath and defeating one of [[Baal]]'s generals, [[Shenk the Overseer]], in combat and lifting the siege of Harrogath, opinions start to sway in favour of the heroes. [[Larzuk]] the Blacksmith offers to [[socket]] one of the player's items as a city reward, an honour that is not otherwise given to anyone.  [[Qual-Kehk]] hardly becomes completely swayed by this, and sends out the heroes to rescue Barbarians held captive on the battle field. Defeating obstacles and hordes of [[demon]]s, the heroes manage to free many of the stout warriors, and Qual-Kehk makes many of them available to hire to aid the players in their quest.  ===Betrayal===Malah requests the player to aid her in finding the disappeared daughter of the Head of the Council of Elders, [[Anya]]. She suspects Nihlathak is responsible for her disappearance. Using the frozen northclues provided by Malah, situated on the slopes players find Anya in the [[Crystalline Passage]], trapped in a prison of Mtice. Arreat  When she is rescued, Nihlathak mysteriously goes missing.   It is located turns out, Nihlathak was willing to doom {{iw|Sanctuary Sanctuary}} in order to save Harrogath. He would give the [[Relic of the Ancients]] to Baal, allowing him access to the [[Worldstone]] without a challenge by the Barbarian lands[[Ancients]].  ===Lord of Destruction===The heroes try to catch up with Baal to defeat him, and all the town can only sit and wait.  News arrive that they defeated the Ancients in combat, gained entrance to the [[Worldstone Keep]], fought their way through hordes of [[Hell]]'s utmost elite and finally defeated [[Baal]] in the NPCs [[Worldstone Chamber]].  When the heroes arrived to Harrogath, they informed the villagers about [[Tyrael]]'s plan to destroy the Worldstone, which they are Barbarians obviously distraught by.  ===The Destruction===It's pretty clear what happened. Tyrael used ancient mystical incantations on his [[Azureblade]] and hurled it at the Worldstone. It started shattering and it all ended in a massive explosion. The massive [[Mount Arreat]] became {{iw|Arreat_Crater Arreat Crater}}.  The question is what happened to Harrogath, considering it was located on the slopes of one type the mountain. Either they stayed for a valiant death in the explosion, or anotherthey travelled elsewhere when warned by Tyrael.  Exactly what happened, though they are hospitable and what the barbarians have been up to characters for the last 20 years is something we hopefully will know, {{iw|Main_Page soon}}.  ==Notable Characters==[[File:Npc-bunny-roaster1.jpg|thumb|right|The famous [[Bunny Roaster]] of Harrogath.]]Harrogath is full of a variety of [[NPC]]s that contribute with varying levels of helpfulness. * [[Bunny Roaster]]: All he does all day: Roastt bunnies.* [[Deckard Cain]]: Identifier and quest helper.* [[Larzuk]]: Blacksmith, merchant.* [[Malah]]: Healer, merchant.* [[Nihlathak]]: [[Gambling]]/villain.* [[Qual-Kehk]]: [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]], quest giver.* [[Barbarian NPCs]]: Wounded men.* Not in town:** ''[[Ancients]]: Barbarian forebearers {{iw|Nephalem nephalem}}.''** ''[[Bunnies]]: They procreate like... bunnies!''** ''[[Tyrael]]: Our favourite {{iw|Archangel Archangel}}.''  ==Waypoint==[[Image:Waypoint-act5-wsk.jpg|thumb|[[Waypoint]] in the [[Worldstone Keep]].]]All [[town]]s contain a [[Waypoint]] for quick access to other classes as wellareas with an activated node.
