The Chamber Of Bone
"Beyond the hall of heroes lies the chamber
of bone. Eternal death awaits any who would
seek to steal the tresures secured within
this room. So speaks the lord of terror,
and so it is written."
Valor
"...and so, locked beyond the gateway of
blood and past the hall of fire, Valor
awaits for the hero of light to awaken..."
Halls Of The Blind
"I can see what you see not.
Vision milky then eyes rot.
When you turn they will be gone,
Whisperring their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be,
Shadows move where light should be.
Out of darkness, out of mind,
Cast down into the halls of the blind."
The Warlord Of Blood
"The armories of Hell are home to the
Warlord of Blood. In his wake lay the
mutilated bodies of thousands. Angels
and man alike have been cut down to
fulfill his endless sacrifices to the dark
ones who scream for one thing - blood."
Stories
The Great Conflict
"Take heed and bear witness to the truths
that lie herein, for they are the last
legacy of the Horadrim. There is a war
that rages on even now, beyond the fields
that we know - between the utopian
kingdoms of the high heavens and the
chaotic pits of the burning hells. This war
is known as the great conflict, and it has
raged and burned longer than any of the
stars in the sky. Neither side ever gains
sway for long as the forces of light and
darkness constantly vie for control
over all creation."
The Realms Beyond
"All praises to Diablo - Lord of Terror and
survivor of the dark exile. When he
awakened from his long slumber, my lord
and master spoke to me of secrets that
few mortals know. He told me the
kingdoms of the high heavens and the pits
of the burning hells engage in an eternal
war. He revealed the powers that have
brought his discord to the realms of
man. My lord named the battle for
this world and all who exist here The Sin
War"
The Wages Of Sin Are War
"Take heed and bear witness to the truths
that lie herein, for they are the last
legacy of the Horadrim. When the eternal
conflict between the high heavens and the
burning hells falls upon mortal soil, it is
called the sin war. Angels and demons
walk amongst humanity in disguise,
fighting in secret, away from the prying
eyes of mortals. Some daring, powerful
mortals have even allied themselves with
either side, and helped to dictate the
course of the sin war.
The Binding Of The Three
"So it came to be that the three prime evils
were banished in spirit form to the mortal
realm and after sewing chaos across the
east for decades, they were hunted down
by the cursed order of the mortal
Horadrim. The Horadrim used artifacts
called soulstones to contain the essence
of Mephisto, the lord of hatred and his
brother Baal, the lord of destruction.
The youngest brother - Diablo, the lord of
terror - escaped to the west.
Eventually the Horadrim captured Diablo
within a soulstone as well, and buried
him under an ancient, forgotten
cathedral. There, the lord of terror
sleeps and awaits the time of his rebirth.
Know ye that he will seek a body of
youth and power to possess - one that is
innocent and easily controlled. He will
then arise to free his brothers and once
more fan the flames of the sin war..."
The Black King
"Hail and sacrifice to Diablo - lord of
terror and destroyer of souls. When I
awoke my master from his sleep, he
attempted to possess a mortal's form.
Diablo attempted to claim the body of
king Leoric, but my master was too weak
from his imprisonment. My lord required a
simple and innocent anchor to this world,
and so found the boy Albrecht to be
perfect for the task. While the good king
Leoric was left maddened by Diablo's
unsuccessful possession, I kidnapped his
son Albrecht and brought him before my
master. I now await Diablo's call and
pray that I will be rewarded when he at
last emerges as the lord of this world."
