In the version I read they called them" Nexus points"... I would argue that nearly all the important areas, magical areas or boss areas in Sanctuary are nexus points. From what I remember they're places of great power where the dimension is 'pinned down', this power can be harnessed and portals are usually (or more easily?) created at these points.
Tal Rasha's burial chamber, Tristram Cathedral and Mephistos Temple of light / Guardian tower place were most likely Nexus points (Perhaps thats just my opinion, but wouldn't it make sense that the Horadim build things on these points?)
Majpain, seeing as you already made a thread asking the question and got lots of answers it seems kind of pointless now lol :P. Just in future, this thread is lore question central
but
Note that this thread is not for theories, only solid facts.
So, all answers should have quotes from the games lore, novel lore or even the new Diablo 3 website
There is a certain amount of speculation allowed I suppose, but a whole theory cant be based upon it. If theres no quotes then there at least has to be some good logic
Maybe Blizzards initial intentions for Diablo 1 was too make Deckard Cain more of an old senile storyteller who although has useful information is also a bit messed up. Whereas in Diablo 2 hes much more wise and coherent. Could just be a random peice of information Blizzard forgot about, thats one explanation anyway.
Blizzard didnt plan to have a cow level in Diablo 2 so, they didnt originally plan to have Wirts leg there either. These things were only added after the Diablo 1 rumors started about the Cow Level and Blizzard went along with it
So, the legends that Cain mentioned must be refering to Wirts "wanting to run away from Tristram" and not his leg or the cow level in the next game.
As for the Dark Riders, it must just be corrupted people or the corrupted Knights of Khanduras messing with the townsfolk before descending down to Hell
Edit- or... How did he lose his leg exactly? Maybe hes just lucky to be alive because hes lucky to be alive....
Thank goodness you've returned! Much has changed since you lived here my friend. All was peaceful until the Dark Riders came and destroyed our village. Many were cut down were they stood and those who took up arms were slain or dragged away to become slaves - or worse. The church at the edge of town has been desecrated and is being used for dark rituals. The screams that echo in the night are inhuman, but some of out townsfolk may yet survive. Follow the path that lies between my tavern and the blacksmith to find the church and save who you can.
Perhaps I can tell you more if we speak again. Good luck
Maybe it is the corrupted Khanduras knights of their Paladin order flocking to King Leoric's side and slaying people on their way?
Probably wrong, other people are more familiar with Diablo lore than me and im really drawing a blank right now. Perhaps I should re-read some stuff

Has he been mentioned before and where? Because his name sounds familiar but I cant find it at all
Where does it say that Wirt lost his leg to a Fallen?
