Kurast Docks is the safe haven that the player visits in Act III in pursuit of Diablo and Baal (who has now been freed from Tal Rasha's Tomb). The whole city has been corrupted by Mephisto, forcing the few survivors to retreat to the Docks. Ormus and Hratli have protected them with their magic, but even that won't last for long. The Lord of Hatred must be defeated in order to save them, and the Three must be stopped before they achieve their goal.
