Diablo 2 Story
Since
the Beginning of Time the forces of Order
and Chaos have been engaged in an eternal
struggle to decide the fate of all
Creation. That struggle has now come to
the Mortal Realm... And neither Man,
Demon, nor Angel will be left unscathed...
Diablo, Lord of Terror, and youngest of
the Three Prime Evils, awoke from his long
sleep beneath the dark earth. Setting in
motion a grand scheme to free his exiled
brothers, Mephisto and Baal, Diablo took
control of the small western kingdom of
Khanduras. Working from deep within the
ancient catacombs beneath the town of
Tristram, Diablo gripped the entire
populace in a blanket of fear and
paranoia.
Ultimately, as even Khanduras' good King
Leoric fell under Diablo's wicked power, a
lone hero arose to challenge the darkness
that had engulfed the land. After plumbing
the hellish depths of the labyrinth under
Tristram, the nameless hero finally
confronted the Lord of Terror himself.
Knowing full well that Diablo's spirit
could never be truly destroyed, the hero
made the noblest sacrifice of all--
casting his soul and his very sanity
aside, the hero took the spirit of Diablo
into himself, hoping that his own strength
of will could contain the demon within.
The hero could never have known that his
selfless act would not only ensure
Diablo's victory, but would irrevocably
damn his soul for all time...
