	Unfortunately, this peace couldn't last forever; Sanctuary was eventually discovered which just gave the angels and demons one more goddamn thing to fight over. To further complicate things it turns out the Nephalem had the potential to be even more stupid powerful than both angels and demons, which scared the shit out Inarius. Inarius and Lilith would have a falling out over what to do with the Nephalem, causing him to boot her off the fucking planet. The Burning Hells first tried to manipulate humanity onto their side, though Inarius noticed this and began to try to also manipulate them back to his side, which led to a stalemate. And then that ho Lilith came back, leading into the exact sort of debacle that generally happens when a [[bitches\|bitchy]] ex-GF returns to haunt you. With all the fireworks the High Heavens now finally took notice, and it became a three-way clusterfuck called the Sin War. Through a convoluted sequence of events involving a Nephalem named Uldyssian, the Worldstone was used to bind their powers reducing them all to mere humans.

Through a convoluted sequence of events involving a Nephalem named Uldyssian, the Worldstone was used to bind their powers reducing them all to mere humans.

	With the progenitors destroyed, the angels tried to figure out what to do with their bastard descendants. Humanity would have been destroyed if not for the deciding vote of Tyrael, Archangel of Justice, who had been so moved by Uldyssian's sacrifice that he now believed humanity had capacity to choose good. The angels came to a truce with the demons, and the two agreed to leave Sanctuary to its own devices now that the Nephalem were powerless and had their minds erased. The angels turned back to the main front of their conflict with the demons, humanity were left to find their own way, and the demons never, ever fucking lie...		With the progenitors destroyed, the angels tried to figure out what to do with their bastard descendants. Malthael/Wisdom chose neutrality. Imperius/Valor voted to exterminate Humanity. Auriel/Hope and Itherael/Fate voted to spare humanity. With this deadlock, humanity would have been destroyed if not for the deciding vote of Tyrael, Archangel of Justice, who had been so moved by Uldyssian's sacrifice that he now believed humanity had capacity to choose good. The angels came to a truce with the demons, and the two agreed to leave Sanctuary to its own devices now that the Nephalem were powerless and had their minds erased. The angels turned back to the main front of their conflict with the demons, humanity were left to find their own way, and the demons never, ever fucking lie...

	Fast forward a couple of thousand years and humanity has built up typical fantasy [[Medieval Stasis\|societies]], despite frequent attempts by demons to covertly manipulate them causing the occasional war and cultural ruination. Then one day in the Burning Hells, the four Lesser Evils, who were still [[butthurt]] over the perceived loss in the Sin War and sick of playing second fiddle to the dominance of the three Prime Evils, cooked up a scheme to banish them to Sanctuary. [[Just As Planned\|And it actually fucking worked]]!...[[Not as Planned\|Except that this was planned by Prime Evils in the first place]]... The Prime Evils were free to actively devastate Sanctuary, unleashing unspeakable evil. The angels took notice, and since he was the one who spared humanity they made Tyrael go fucking fix this. Allied with a group of mystics and sages called the Horadrim, they tracked and defeated the Prime Evils and bound their essence into magical crystal prisons called Soulstones, each a splinter of the Worldstone itself. The three Soulstones were hidden away, buried for generations. Naturally, the Prime Evils want out... which doesn't spell anything good for Sanctuary.

	As of 2023. and the open beta, it would seem that Blizzard is doing some course correction since the game has all the best parts of Diablo 2 and 3 with some really nice ideas blatantly stolen from other ARPGs but integrated nicely. The music, sound effects, gameplay are all really atmospheric and engaging. The systems for skills / gear are deep enough to allow you to craft and synergize / create combos without being Path of Exile levels of deep. In short it looks like Blizzard got it's shit together and made a halfway decent game, a first in 10 years.

	In late 1997 there was also a very little known expansion for the first game, ''Diablo: Hellfire''. The game was actually made by Sierra On-Line, and not Blizzard, so it is a curious offering to say in the least, and definitely not [[canon]]. It still takes place in Tristam; awful lot of evil for such a small town.		In late 1997 there was also a very little known expansion for the first game, ''Diablo: Hellfire''. The game was actually made by Sierra On-Line, and not Blizzard, so it is a curious offering to say in the least, and definitely not [[canon]]. It still takes place in Tristam; awful lot of evil for such a small town.

	''Hellfire'' implemented two new dungeons. One, the Festering Nests, is a slimy and oozing living nest of insectoid creatures, and the other is the Demon Crypts, am eerily beautiful demonic tomb that is the place where a great demon was sealed away. New spells and spellbooks, including the super quality of life spell Search (which would highlight items on the ground), new quests, new loot. And a new class: the [[Monk]], who could perform sweeping attacks when armed with a staff. (And by editing the game's command text files you could discover two other classes, a raging but magically inept [[Barbarian]] and a two-weapon fighting jack-of-all-trades [[Bard]]). It also had a crude way to trade items between a single player's characters, the Cornerstone of the Worlds, where if you dropped an item on that one specific tile, it could be picked up by another character that went to that one specific tile.
