Sanctuary

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

It's time.

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.

Because I promised you some Diablo Know Your Lores, today we're looking at the origins of the world of Sanctuary, the mortal realm that has seen the machinations of the Prime Evils as well as near-extinction at the hands of Malthael, the former Archangel of Wisdom and current Angel of Death.
