“Blizzard Unveils Tragic Story of Inarius and Lilith in Preparation for Diablo IV”

Blizzard has just uploaded a summary of the tragic story of Inarius and Lilith as we approach Diablo IV. Founders of the world of Sanctuary tired of the Eternal conflict, these two emblematic entities of the license mark the world again with their presence and their actions weigh once more on humanity.

• The High Heavens and the Hells were created. Angels and Demons went to war, starting the Eternal Conflict.
• Lilith, daughter of the demon lord Mephisto, and Inarius, Lieutenant of the Archangel Tyrael, grew weary of the incessant slaughter.
• Inarius was captured by the Underworld. In the darkness and flames of Hell, he and Lilith met.
• This unlikely pair found they had the same mindset and hatched a plot.
• Inarius, Lilith, and like-minded groups of Angels and Demons gained control of a powerful artifact called the World Stone and used it to create Sanctuary.
• Inarius and Lilith have united to create a new race, the Nephalem.
• Many renegade Angels and Demons were afraid of the extraordinary power of this new race. Lilith, ever protective, eliminated anyone who threatened her children.
• Inarius, horrified by the slaughter, banishes her into the void.
• Inarius then used the World Stone to lessen the power of his children in future generations. Over time, the Nephalem became humanity.
• Inarius founded the Cathedral of Light in order to combat the presence of the Primal Demons in Sanctuary. The War of Sin has begun.
• As the War of Sin ended, Inarius was imprisoned in the Underworld by Mephisto.
• Thousands of years later, Inarius has escaped the Underworld and reformed the Cathedral of Light into a Sanctuary led by his most trusted servant, Prava.
• Lilith has also returned to Sanctuary, summoned from the void by a dark sacrifice. His intentions are unclear.
• While the bloody events of Diablo IV unfold, the Mother and Father of Sanctuary are back, and their ancient feud threatens to engulf the world they created.
