Mephisto

In order to understand a game franchise, you have to understand where it started.

However much we may look to Inarius as the reason that Sanctuary exists, without Lilith there would be no Sanctuary and no Nephalem.

I picked up Mephisto when he joined the Nexus this week in Heroes of the Storm, and he's pretty great!

I haven't been shy about speculating about Diablo lately, and so far my obsession with the game has been rewarded with a new comic and a Switch port announced recently.

Mephisto is the newest hero entering Heroes of the Storm.

The lore of the Diablo franchise 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.

The world of Sanctuary was born out of the desire for renegade demons and angels to find a place where they could be safe from the Eternal Conflict between Heaven and Hell.

Who are -- and who were -- the Horadrim?

Last week we covered Diablo's plans for Khanduras and Tristram.
