Nephalem

Lore -- the stories behind the games we play -- is why I play games at all.

Necromancers in Diablo are members of a sect named the Priests of Rathma.

Diablo 3 left some pretty big loose ends that aren't getting tied up any time soon.

Here we are, four years after the launch of Diablo 3, and I'm still playing the game.

Sescheron, the fallen.

For today's Know Your Lore, we're putting on our tinfoil hat and speculating about the nephalem of Diablo 3.

Despite the presence of Uldyssian and his followers, it was merely a chapter, a small one in a saga that links us from the creation of the world of Sanctuary to the present day. One cannot discuss the Sin War without discussing nephalem, for in a way, the nephalem are far more important to the cosmos than Sanctuary, Inarius or Lilith. More important than the Archangels or Prime Evils.

I don't know how often I'll get to do a Diablo KYL, but in continuation of the first one we did, this week we're talking about the world of Sanctuary.
