![]() ![]() For years, the plain of Sanctuary has been used as a proxy between the Demons and the Angels, and the mortal inhabitants have been seen as a means for one side or another to win. The power cannot be returned to the Eye of Anu - the cosmos will have to cope with the rise of beings powerful enough to shake the Heavens and raid the Hells. He chose to reinforce the Worldstone, dying in the process and draining the Nephalem power from his followers in the Edyrem.īut there is no Worldstone now. What happens when many Nephalem are born? Uldyssian, when he was growing in power following the defeat of both Inarius and Lilith (themselves the progenitors of the Nephalem, angelic and demonic parents to beings with the potential of both lineages) decided that the power he was growing into was too great for him to comprehend in his single mortal lifetime. Now, what happens when there are more than just the one Nephalem? The events of Diablo 3 and its expansion Reaper of Souls show that just one such being is powerful enough to challenge the entire might of the Seven Evils in one being, and even can defeat an Angel wielding both the power of Death itself and the Black Soulstone when it contained all seven of the Greater and Lesser Evils. But also, the destruction of the Worldstone removed the limitation that Inarius placed on the descendants of the Angels and Demons that fled the Eternal Conflict to hide in Sanctuary - now, for the first time since Uldyssian ul-Diomed, mortal heroes can be born with the power of the ancient Nephalem, the kind of power that beings like Bul-Kathos, Vasily (also known as Fiacla-Gear), Rathma and Esu once wielded. With the destruction of the Worldstone in Diablo 2, both the Angels and Demons lost the powerful, world-creating artifact of the time before creation that they’d been fighting over. This is the first in a series looking at what Diablo 4 might draw upon. There are several things that could come back in the next installment of the series. The lore of the Diablofranchise has gotten deeper and more involved with every new game, expanding from the small town of Tristram and the catacombs beneath the cathedral there to a globe-spanning adventure that led to Hell itself and finally in Diablo 3 we went to the Heavens and Pandemonium in turn. We’ve seen nightmarish monsters, Baal’s army overwhelm the Barbarians and the destruction of the Worldstone, the siege of the Crystal Arch and the Nephalem stand triumphant against a former Archangel with the power of all seven Evils in its grasp.Īfter all that, what do you do for an encore?ĭiablo 4 will have a lot of potential storylines to use, that’s for sure.
