Read on for much more lore and story info, including an explanation of why Tyraels sword could not hurt Malthael, and why Malty didnt completely drain Tyraels soul when he had the chance.His predictions were pretty good; right on with the Malthael speculation and much of the general story and Pandemonium Fortress setting not so good on the sixth character.Unfortunately, since Id have found a half-demon, shape shifting Druid a lot more interesting than the Paladin: Black Ops that we got.) Weve now moved from prediction to analysis, since Blizzard revealed a lot of lore and story of RoS at Gamescom; obviously in the opening cinematic but also in various interviews with the developers where they talked about the Crusader class, Malthael and his mission to exterminate all Demons and humans, the dark background of Westmarch and the Paladin order, and much more.
I enjoyed that stuff, but since Im not a real expert on the overall game lore, I turned again to Neinball, firing him a few questions on some of the key story and lore topics. Id planned to combine his feedback with some basic info about the story, but he provided such detailed replies that it would be a shame to chop them up. So heres a sort of FAQGuest Article, with questions by me and replies by Neinball. If you want more, he was one of the guests on The Diablo Podcast 108, in which we spent a lot of time talking about the story of D3:RoS. That episode will be posted later today, so if you read this article and then listen to the second half of that show, youll be as caught up as anyone on what we currently know about the story of the Diablo 3 Expansion pack. Reaper Of Souls Story Full Of DetailThe following is full of detail about the Diablo world lore, with information taken from the Diablo games, the Diablo novels, the Book of Cain, and other assorted official sources. Neinball adds his own speculation to that and obviously his opinions are his own and may not prove 100 accurate in Diablo 3. Malthael, Archangel of Wisdom and Reaper of Souls Can you summarize Malthaels history and where hes been and where he came from Neinball: Malthael becoming the aspect of Death on Sanctuary shouldnt be a surprise to anyone who is a fan of Diablo lore. Long before he was given the title of the Archangel of Wisdom, Malthael was portrayed as the Angel of Death in the Sin War trilogy of novels even though he was never actually called as such. His concept art solidified this motif; cladding him in black robes, wielding sickles and covered in mummy-like wrappings he was completely different from every angel weve seen before. Even his voice brought forth visions of death in the souls of mortals. A bit more back story was added to Malthael at Blizzcons and in the Book of Cain. Now he was depicted as the embodiment of Wisdom and leader of the Angiris Council. And as a far cry from his depiction in the Sin War, the voice of this Malthael was melodious and inspirational. His insight into Creation (the universe) made him the defacto leader of the Angiris Council. Although Imperius was considered to be one of the greatest warriors in all of Creation it was Malthael who orchestrated the battle plans of Heaven against the forces of Hell in the Eternal Conflict. The connection between Malthael and the Worldstone and the reasoning for the change in his demeanor have not been stated. In the Book of Cain its theorized that maybe some of the source of his wisdom came from the Worldstone. Some say instead he say he saw the birth of the Nephalem in the Pools of Wisdom long before the discovery of Sanctuary and that he was troubled by these strands interconnecting across the tapestry of Creation. Its not stated exactly why he changed, but the difference was night and day. Twenty years ago when the Worldstone was destroyed he vanished, completely abandoning Heaven.
