[[Image:Lut Gholein day.jpg|thumb|right|480px|Lut Gholein by the sea.]]'''Lut Gholein''', or '''The Jewel of the Desert''' is located in the [[aranoch]] desert and is one of the biggest trading centres of the [[Western Kingdoms]]. It is also the [[town]] area of Act II in [[Diablo II]]. It's not know if it will appear in [[Diablo 3]], but it is an important part of the lore of [[Sanctuary]].  ==Description==[[Image:Lut Gholein night.jpg|thumb|right|480px|Lut Gholein night-time.]]The ''Jewel of the Desert'' has managed to become a huge trading post, despite being located in the [[Aranoch]] desert, mainly because of it's very good location as the midpoint between the [[Western Kingdoms]] and [[Kehjistan]]. Lut Gholein is a very large and rich city on the western edge of the [[Twin Seas]] and has actually prospered in the merciless environment of [[Aranoch]]. Most credit this to the city's coastal location and strong sea trading ties with the kingdoms to the east and west. Although a few bands of nomadic people have found ways to survive in this hostile desert, most steer clear of these sandy wastelands. The culture and architecture is very similar to [[Earth]]'s Arabic countries, while outlying ruins and dungeons in the desert has a distinctively more Egyptian feel.  ==Background==Lut Gholein has been around for hundreds of years and has prospered, but 20 years ago, the town was more or less cut off from the [[Western Kingdoms]] by [[Diablo]] stopping the trade routes through the mountains. He travelled here to free his brother [[Baal]] from the [[Horadrim]] prison, where he was locked in the body of [[Tal Rasha]]. Diablo also altered much of the natural wildlife, including the [[lacuni]] to ferociously attack anyone passing by. The town itself was tormented by [[Radament]] who is another mummified Horadric mage possessed by a [[demon]]. Radament was hiding in the city sewers below. A group of heroes disposed of the possessed mummy, and went on a quest by [[Deckard Cain]] to use the [[Horadric Cube]] to restore the [[Horadric Staff]] to stop Diablo from freeing Baal in the [[Tomb of Tal Rasha]]. In the midst of all this, [[The Summoner]] started releasing demons into the Palace of Lut Gholein, killing anything in sight. All the troubles were dealt with by the heroes, and many citizens have suppressed these memories to the point where it's more myth than legend.  ==Characters Related to Lut Gholein==*[[Atma]] - Tavern Keeper*[[Deckard Cain]] - Traveller stopping by*[[Drognan]] - Mage Trader*[[Elzix]] - Trader and gambler*[[Fara]] - A [[Paladin]] who repairs equipment and heals weary travellers.*[[Geglash]] - Drunkard*[[Greiz]] - Local [[mercenary]] service*[[Jerhyn]] - The Sultan*[[Kaelan]] - Palace guard*[[Lysander]] - Potions Trader*[[Meshif]] - Sailor*[[Warriv]] - Caravan owner 
Set on the western edge of the [[Twin Seas]], the jewel city of Lut Gholein has actually prospered in the merciless environment of [[Aranoch]]. Most credit this to the city’s coastal location and strong sea trading ties with the kingdoms to the east and west.
