The Ureh Theory (Spoilers)

I posted this on the blizzard forums, but they really aren't very good. I figured maybe I'd have more luck here.

This is from Kingdom of Shadow:

Quote:
Ureh is said to be a lost city which, with the help of its local sorcerers, got an entrance to Heaven, leaving all the treasures on Earth.
[source: http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Ureh]



And look at this:
http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/worldmap.xml
Ureh is on the map.

Final "look at this":
http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/...t=547&size=big
http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/...ze=big&cat=547 (look at the top of the city)

They both have this darkness surrounding it, almost a cloud of corruption. They both have twin spires with a very large mountain behind them, amidst a mountain range just like Ureh in the book.
So my speculation is that you enter Ureh, and travel through the top to enter the High Heavens in Diablo III. =D

-----

It came up later in the thread where one poster said that it is impossible as the city was destroyed...but really, it wasn't destroyed, simply Diablo's "version", the tainted form of the city was once the gems were smashed, the barrier was breached and the residents all died off.

So, what do you guys think? I may be just grasping at straws here.

Re: The Ureh Theory (Spoilers)

I've read a lot of rumors about the whole Heaven questing theory, and I'm beginning to believe that D3 might actually be (partly) based in Heaven. Is it just me - or does that look like the same spire that the two guards are watching the "hellish rift" in the cinematic trailer?

Re: The Ureh Theory (Spoilers)

I personally think that the two guards are looking at the Arreat Crater, which means they'd be in old Harrogath or Bastion's Keep. I know Harrogath isn't on the map, since it's presumably been somehow destroyed, but we don't know what timeframe the images in the cinematic are from. It might be from just a few years after D2.

It seems that these books are a treasure trove for speculation, since so much of the lore is fleshed out. I see no reason to doubt that this Ureh might harbour a gateway to the Heavens.

Dude, if there's a gateway into the Heavens, the least of Heaven's worries will be Hell.

How so? Not a flame, just curious as to what you're thinking.

An episode into heaven would certainly put a unique flavor to the game. Can't think of a single action game set in heaven.

Ureh is the first thing that came to my mind as well as soon as i saw those pics. I hope it is Ureh, and they make something interesting out of it
