Khasim Outpost

"The Khasim Outpost! Known for...just about nothing, really."

- Lyndon

The Khasim Outpost is a location in Act II of Diablo III. It is located near the Black Canyon Bridge, and across from the entrance to the Stinging Winds.

Lore
The town was originally protected by the Iron Wolves, before they were supplanted by the Imperial Guard. Reportedly, the people in the town were growing restless, and the Guard were sent in to secure it. Whatever the truth of that matter, in reality, the Guard were Deceiver demons in service to Belial. The Iron Wolves were held captive, planned to be sacrificed to Belial.

Belial himself ordered Maghda to set a trap for The Nephalem at the outpost. Due to the road to Alcarnus being blocked, The Nephalem had to divert to the outpost on their journey. The Nephalem arrived, but was able to free the Iron Wolves and defeat the demons.

In-game
The Outpost features in "The Road to Alcarnus" quest in Act I.
