In the opening scene of Diablo 3, in order to protect the humans in the sanctuary, the angel of justice Tyrael voluntarily gave up the identity of the archangel and fell into the world as a mortal-this may be the most amazing in the history of the game One time I fell, you know, many dark players who are used to seeing Tyrael’s face are very puzzled for Tyrael who showed his true face for the first time.
But this kind of controversy, after the world view of Diablo 3 gradually unfolded, naturally, the disappeared-the reason is also very simple, Tyreel is black, there is indeed an official plot endorsement. It’s not a bad job that a brand manager came up with.
Tyrael’s avatar image comes from a superhuman in ancient times. In the Book of Kane published in 2011, the strongest Nephitian named U Dixian has already shown himself as a black man. In the earlier official novel Original Sin War, U Dixian appeared as the protagonist and once dominated the fate of the entire Diablo worldview.
However, what is suffocating is that, for such important information, the pages of Diablo 3 are inscribed with only a few lines blown by Tyrael. This kind of heavy play and light narrative phenomenon has always been the weakness of the dark works of the past, so that in addition to the game, Blizzard also needs to publish a series of official novels in order to fill in the plot black hole.
For example, why Tyrell is black; how did a lot of new occupations in the second generation suddenly emerge; from the destruction of the world stone to the final battle of heaven, how did the player go from a mud leg running a maze? Son, gradually evolved into Nephitian who punched angels and kicked demons? We have no way of knowing this, I only know one thing, that is, I will go to the secret realm to kill.
As far as the size of Diablo is concerned, it is a bit too wasteful to simply use the plot as the lubricant for the device. The myth system, operating rules, and all phenomena of the world set by Blizzard can completely provide a complete background setting for another independent game. Even with a snack, the plot content may be more detailed than this article.
In fact, you can indeed find a lot of such works on the market. Wizards used Diablo 2 as a template to adapt a DND running game. Of course, whether it is due to age or subject matter, a 2000 tabletop game is obviously not suitable for entering the pit. Although it sounds strange, the game that best complements the world view of the Dark series is actually Diablo: Immortal on the mobile phone.
The reason for saying this is because the plot timing of Diablo: Immortality happened to be stuck in the key points of the plot between the second and third generations. In fact, the official did not mention a word about this window period. Where did Tyrael go during the disappearance; why did humans suddenly explode and become Nephitian? These unknown stories have been inserted on the timeline of immortality. To clarify these issues, we must understand the entire dark world.
First of all, the story of the entire Diablo series has a keel called Eternal War. Long before the birth of mankind, that is, Nephitian, the angels of the highest heaven and the demons of the flame hell have fought for countless years. And the center of the vortex of war is an artifact called the World Stone. Whoever masters the world stone will have the absolute power to reconstruct the laws of the universe.

Angels and demons are the direct descendants of the creator god Anu and its evil incarnation Tassamit, and the people of both sides live endlessly because of this. Even if one party has suffered a devastating blow in the war, it can regain its foothold on the body of the old god. As a result, the power of heaven and hell is always declining, and the war has been deadlocked for hundreds of millions of years. As long as the forces on both sides have produced huge differences-whether to continue this meaningless “eternity” Battle”?
With the idea of ending the dispute, the angel Inaris and the demon Lilith led the defectors of their respective camps, stole the World Stone located in the highest heaven and used its power to create a place called “Sanctuary” New world. The angels and demons, who shook hands and made peace, recuperated in the sanctuary and gave birth to each other’s children. And these hybrids are the first Nephitians called “ancestors” by later generations of humans.
Anyone who has played the game should know that if you come to a god-mounted Nephitian, you can slaughter thousands of angels and demons with your fingers. What’s more, almost every one of the first generation of ancestor Nephitian is like this. Inaris quickly realized that these superhumans, whose genes are full of conflicts, would soon get rid of the control of their parents and inevitably repeat the same mistakes of killing each other.
As a result, Inaris used the World Stone to weaken Nephitian’s power and planned genocide against the entire human race. As a result, the news spread like wildfire. Lilith, who had a special interest in Nephitian’s power, killed all the angels and demons in the sanctuary except Inaris. Inaris, grief-stricken, banished Lilith from the sanctuary, and left the World Stone on the sacred mountain of Arret, before disappearing.
The heavens and the earth change, the stars change, and the descendants of Nephitian gradually prosper, and their footprints spread throughout the sanctuary. But under the influence of the World Stone, they have gradually divided into mortals of all kinds. Among them, the barbarians cling to the legacy of their ancestors, guarding the sacred mountain of Arret for generations; the mages of the far east studied the power of taboos and finally opened the door to hell; various religious groups and secular regimes eventually evolved Become a group of forces such as the Crusaders, monks and so on for later generations.
During this long human era, hell and heaven realized the existence of sanctuary and began to infiltrate it continuously. Hell attempts to incite human desires and uses Nephitian’s power for its own use, while heaven aims to suppress this power and pinch it into the cradle.
With the direct entry of heaven and hell, a war called original sin broke out in the sanctuary. Inaris and Lilith reappeared and joined the melee. In the end, U Dixian, who was inspired by Lilith’s potential, repelled all the angels and demons with the unmatched power of Nephitian. In the end, U Dixian, who gradually began to lose his humanity, chose to sacrifice himself and re-seal this dangerous force.
The sacrifice of mankind shook Tyrael’s determination. He began to identify with this dangerous young race and assembled the original Hradim Order. Among them, Ka Lasha, Gerald Kane, Jordan Keller and others have sealed the three major hells who were defeated in the original sin war and exiled to the sanctuary: Mephisto, Barr and Diablo. In this regard, the Sanctuary has officially become a part of the eternal battle, and the true story of “Diablo” has also kicked off.
The story of the first generation of Diablo took place a thousand years later. At this time, there was only one descendant of Gerald Kane left in the Horadim Order, Dika Kane, and the War of Original Sins had already become Ancient myths and legends. Without Horadim’s caregiver, the three major monsters began to move around.
Around 1260 in the Kane calendar, Leoric, the king of the generation, was named King Candulas and his capital was Tristram, and Tristram was where Diablo’s prison was located. The accompanying Archbishop Lazarus had long been bewitched by Mephisto and liberated Diablo from the prison of the soul stone. The frail Diablo must erode Leoric’s mind in order to occupy his body. However, even if King Leoric fell into madness, he had an extremely pious determination, and Diablo had to turn his goal to the young second prince.
In 1263 of the Kane calendar, the returning prince Aidan, the protagonist of the first generation of Diablo, killed his brother who was possessed by Diablo in the depths of Tristram Abbey. Since the demon could not be completely eliminated, Aidan, who was desperate, had to insert the remaining soul stone fragments into his forehead, turning himself into Diablo’s new cage. However, Aidan, who had lost everything, quickly lost all thoughts. After conceiving a daughter with the devil-worshiping witch Adria, he was completely taken over by Diablo and disappeared.
After a year, Diablo began to implement his evil plan, which corroded a large area of Candulas and released the demon god Baal who was also imprisoned, and the story of Diablo 2 began. The unsung hero’s deeds of sealing Diablo spread like wildfire, and the soldiers from the entire sanctuary came to Tristram admiringly. Following in the footsteps of the devil, they killed Driel, Mephisto, and Diablo all the way, and finally fought against Baal on the sacred mountain of Arret, guarded by the barbarians for generations.
However, before arriving, Baal had already been involved in the World Stone, and in desperation, Tyrael had to destroy the World Stone, along with the Sacred Mountain of Yarete. In the explosion that destroyed the world, the stone of the world was instantly turned into dust, and the home of the barbarians was completely wiped out. Only a huge burning pit was left in the center of the once majestic sacred mountain.
Unlike the previous two generations, which were only a year apart, the story of Diablo 3 took place in the Kane calendar in 1285, which was exactly 20 years after the destruction of the World Stone. At this time, Aidan and Adria’s daughter was already slim. After Adria left Tristram, Dika Kane adopted the orphan and put all the knowledge of the Horadim Order It was taught to her. And this young apprentice is the cute Leah.
In fact, during the past 20 years, the sanctuary has not been flat. Although the World Stone falls apart, its fragments are still scattered around the world, breeding new evils. Tyrael is still recovering power somewhere, and the heroes of the second generation are rebuilding their broken homes. These missing chapters are about to be revealed in “Diablo: Immortality”.
In order to recover and destroy the scattered world stones, Dika Kane used the Horadim ritual to predict the location of the various fragments. The first fragment fell again to Kanduras, Leoric’s old collar. . But this time, the shard did not fall on Tristram, but on nearby Worthan. In Diablo 3, Vossan is the main road to Kandulas, not only connecting the old and new Tristram, but also a shortcut to Ashward.
As the novice villages of past works, Candulas and Tristram are probably the most familiar places for all dark players. In “Diablo: Immortal”, players finally get a glimpse of the whole picture of this land. The second and third chapters of the immortal show the players Ashward and the Black Forest respectively.
Among them, Ashward is Leoric’s wife and Princess Asila’s natal family. In the third generation, players can learn through text that Princess Asila was tragically killed by the mad king. In immortality, we can know that King Leoric still has a trace of humanity, and he sent the bones of his dead wife back to her hometown. In this chapter, Zul, the second-generation necromancer, came to Vossan. He fought side by side with the player and defeated his ambitious female apprentice in an attempt to resurrect Leoric with the World Stone.
After that, the player and Kane left Tristram and headed to the western city of Westermah. At this time, Westmar has not yet encountered the disaster of the “Imperial Chain”. On the bustling streets, players will meet with Chasi the blacksmith in the 2nd generation Rogge camp, and Akara from the Blind Sisterhood. Reunion.
In the conversation, we will know that after defeating Andariel in the second generation, the Blind Sisterhood did not retake the fortress east, but continued the trial of hunting demons in the Kandulas area. They gradually began to adapt to the local customs and customs, and many male refugees even appeared in the camp. Chaxi moved the blacksmith’s shop to Westmar and started a big business.
In this chapter, the player will return to the second-generation hidden map of the Black Forest, where the Rogge troops led by Kasha are stationed here, and continue to clean up the corrupt Rogge who was corrupted by Andariel. Also in the second-generation side mission, the blood countess defeated by the player will be reborn in the Forgotten Tower, and the player needs to defeat it again to regain the World Stone from her.
After solving the corruption of the West Continent, in order to properly dispose of the recovered World Stone, Kane needs to obtain ancient knowledge of the Horadim Order. Players will sail from the port to the trade jewel in the far east, Kartim, which stands on the sea of sand. In the surrounding sand sea of Shasr, we are going to find the third-generation old friend Jordan Keller.
But before that, the player needs to gather the parts of the three scepters to open the rift leading to the library. In the process of experiencing “Tomb Raider”, we will meet young Vera. At this time, Vera’s childishness has not disappeared, and his eyes will still be blinded by hatred. Through her personal missions, players can spy on the tragic past of the demon hunters and gain a deeper understanding of their fighting methods driven by hatred.
After gathering the scepters, players can go to Jotun Kulle’s book collection to witness the end of the destruction of Baal, the demon god, sealed by him and Ka Rasha. You know, until Diablo: Immortality, the deeds of the Order of Horadim were only “historical materials” written in official classics.
After obtaining all the knowledge of the ritual, the player set off for the hot and humid tropical island of Baierfen. This is a new map that has never appeared in the series. It is similar to the temple of the ancestors of the third generation. With the help of an Eastern wizard, players will truly come into contact with the power of Nephitian in this chapter.
Later, the players will come to the hometown of the monks in the 3rd generation-Zawain Mountain. Prior to this, the players of “Diablo 3” can say that the origin of the monks is in the clouds, but in immortality, the players can get close to the mysterious group of monks. The monk’s kingdom is located northwest of the sanctuary. The Zawain Mountain here guards the main roads between the mainland. The priests of the Western Expedition have fought bloody battles with the monks here. Today, a large number of dead souls are still hovering at the pass.
The Eastern Zen story about the monk has made an excellent summary and sublimation for the entire “Dark” series. Practitioners in the land of the venerable must first understand the balance between heaven and earth as an acolyte before becoming a monk. Because the pure energy used by the monks is the power of mortals closest to Naphitian, the greater the power they obtain, the easier it is for the human heart to overturn in desire.
Because of the temptation of the World Stone, a monk fell into the evil way, and in the blink of an eye, the power used for lawfulness in the past became the biggest evil obstacle. In the world view of “Diablo”, the struggle between light and darkness is eternal. Whether it is an angel or a devil, which side tends to lead to the suffering of the innocent. Balance is the only way to end the sanctuary.
In the end, “Diablo: Immortality” brought the player back to the Great Pit of Arreat. In the fifth act of the second generation, the ruins of the barbarians who were personally destroyed by Tyrael were scattered in every corner of the map. The young barbarian tribe, in a form of immense sadness, meets with the guardian’s ancestors.
For thousands of years, the tribes of barbarians have always been on the sacred mountain of Yarete. The glory of the ancestors of Nephitian has given them a sense of tragic mission, but at the same time they have also made them forget the true freedom that belongs to the individual. In “Diablo: Immortality”, the dead barbarian souls wandering around the Great Pit of Arret and the remaining barbarian tribes will face the philosophical question of where to go.
Without the meaning of survival that has been guarded by generations, what kind of posture should the surviving barbarian tribes walk in the sanctuary? In this regard, 20 years later, “Diablo 3” will give players an answer, and the process is written in the “immortal” story. And these are only a small part of the lost 20 years.
In the trailer of “Diablo 4”, Rasma, the first Nephew Necromancer, once again unlocked Lilith’s seal. More legends and tales that are enclosed in the sanctuary will open a new chapter. “Diablo: Immortal”, which is continuously updated in MMO mode, should also become a highlight in the dark world outlook.
