Also, I would like to know what implications the destruction of the World Stone had, anyone know this? It says in the diablo wiki that demons can't truly die. If you "kill" one, it is returned to the Black Abyss, which it can escape somehow (Hi Diablo!). I don't think the soulstones could lead to the souls captured in them to be destroyed, only imprisoned. | ||

Also, I would like to know what implications the destruction of the World Stone had, anyone know this? I mentioned this on the first page but will say it again. The soulstones were a scam. They did not do what the high heavens thought they did, Izual states so in Diablo 2 i think, or its in some books somewhere. Point is, yes the soulstones were meant to capture the evils so that they could be contained and even then ultimately, destroyed. But you see the Horadrim, the ancient order of warriors who battled the prime evils to finally captured them was lead by Tyrael. They were a bunch of powerfull mages, that Tyrael brought together for the task of capturing the prime evils, k you with me so far? From the wiki: "When the Horadrim was new, it was formed by only a handful of members, among them Tal Rasha, Jered Cain and a mage by the name of Zoltun Kulle. Though records since the time of the hunt for the Three are hard to come by, it is speculated that Kulle specialized in enchantments and transmutation. He was charged with carrying the Soul Stones meant to imprison the Prime Evils. After the arduous, decade-long task was complete, Kulle was left a hollow man. He devised a means of restoring his humanity by forging a Black Soulstone with which he planned to harness the essence of angels and demons. Before his plan was enacted, however, he was slain by his former Horadric colleages, and all his research was destroyed. " Now Zoltun Kulle is the guy who made the Soulstones, but he went batshit insane along the line, most likely one of the prime evils got to him, promissed him endless powers if he made the soulstones flawed. I have heard this from Blizz sources somewhere but i cannot recall where that was. The point is, the Soulstones were a ploy by the prime evils, they weren't as strong as believed. And about the world stone and the consequences of it being destroyed: On March 08 2012 04:17 Nethermind wrote: 3. Humans in Sanctuary are the product of a union between (rebellious) Angels and Demons (who did not want to partake in the eternal conflict, stole the worldstone, the point of the conflict, created Sanctuary, and hid it there), originally called the Nephalem. As a result they were greatly powerful beings. The renegade Angels and Demons, concerned about the increasing powers manifesting in the Nephalem, decided to purge them in order to keep Sanctuary hidden from the Angel and Demon hosts. The leader of the rebelion, the Angel Inarius then attuned the Worldstone to cause the Nephalem's powers to diminish over time. Baal later corrupts the Worldstone with the intention of using humans with their Nephalem-heritage/powers activated as weapons in the eternal conflict as tools against the Angels. Tyrael destroys the Worldstone, judging (he is the Angel of Justice) it is better destroyed than corrupted. It's destruction will allow people to (potentially) realise their Nephalem heritage, with many theories circling around Leah (as per Cain's prophecy/dream noted in the Book of Cain) as such an example. As a final note, the Worldstone was never used to hide Sanctuary, Sanctuary was used to hide the Worldstone, from the parties of the Eternal Conflict. The events of the Sin Wars (which precede Diablo games) outline the period of time where Heavens and Hells find Sanctuary, indirectly and directly influence events, and ultimately form a pact to leave Sanctuary to human influences alone with each other. Hope that helps! But as a poster above me said, you cannot destroy a demon. And per the book of Cain, Diablo is currently in the Black abyss or the endless void, how he got back we do not know, but there are speculations in this thread about it. | ||

Can't wait to beat his bitch ass in Diablo 3. I remember how badly he owned me the first time through in Diablo 2 so it should be a lot of fun. | ||

 So the destruction of the Worldstone means that humans will gain great power again! I just hope they won't choose the Dark Side, though, haha. | ||

Well, maybe the destruction of the World Stone is exactly what brings down the barriers between worlds and lets him come back so easily? | ||

Either that or Imperius has gone batshit insane and brought Diablo back himself, since when the conflict ends, if it ever does. What's he gonna do?`He's the one angel that has absolutely nothing other then fighting demons, its all he does and knows. | ||

To me, that means he's a boss. Also, you can't have a Diablo game without yours truly. He has come back many times already, if he was to appear in D3, this is at least the 4th time he has been killed. 1st Imperious, 2nd by Prince Aiden in D1 3rd by the hero in D2 now again in D3. ...probably came back many times more Well I can't say much after it is revealed that he is in the game by Blizzard. I am wondering how they will handle this lore wise, because killing him doesn't mean anything if you know he is going to pop right up again. | ||

He is there either to punish humans or hes down there to fix his own misstake. The thing is the short film shows who Imperius is, had they imprisoned Diablo there he would be out of the fight for good pretty much. Captive in the high heavens, doubt hell would be able to get him back anytime soon. But Imperious is full of hatred(lol SW references) and doesn't think with reasoning or logic, he's lost all touch with the rest of the angels who approached the situation more carefully. Either that or Imperius has gone batshit insane and brought Diablo back himself, since when the conflict ends, if it ever does. What's he gonna do?`He's the one angel that has absolutely nothing other then fighting demons, its all he does and knows. Well I hope they don't use the same concept as + Show Spoiler + Izual, where he betrays heaven by showing the prime evils how to use the soulstones. | ||
