They consist of five ruling members:įrom the body of Tathamet, came forth what is known as the Burning Hells, in which demons of all forms sprang forth. The Angiris Council governs the High Heavens and all the angels. The manifestations of Anu's purest aspects, the archangels, formed the Angiris Council. The Arch gave birth to the creatures called angels. And around the Crystal Arch, sprang what is known as the High Heavens. The High Heavens and the Burning Hells The High Heavensįrom the body of Anu, from his spine, came forth what is known as the Crystal Arch. It is the most powerful artifact of the Diablo universe. This jewel has control of both reality and time. And at the center of Pandemonium is the massive jewel called the Heart of Creation, also known as the Eye of Anu, the Worldstone. Pandemonium and the WorldstoneĪt the center of this universe is a place called Pandemonium. Their death caused an explosion that gave birth to the entire universe and all the creatures within it. The two gods, Anu and Tathamet, pure good and pure evil, fought each other for millennia until finally they delivered the final blow to each other and bought perished. These removed parts combined into one being of pure evil and became the creature called the Beast. To achieve a state of total purity, this singular god desired to remove his duality and cast-off all its negative qualities. Within Anu lies everything we can think of - happiness and sadness, light and dark, physical and mystical, even good and evil. Within that pearl resides a might spirit, called the One, Anu. In the beginning, there is only a single instance of creation, a perfect pearl. Hence, like the mythologies of the past, it only fits that we begin with how it all started, the creation story. The Creation Myth - Anu and the Dragon Tathamet One thing that makes the Diablo mythology special is how familiar it to us - it involves the concepts of angels and demons, heaven and hell, monsters and saviors, and other ideas that are already common knowledge to most people. And by the time that Diablo III was released, this body of mythology is so extensive that it is comparable in breadth and depth with the mythologies of the ancient past. Between Diablo I and Diablo II, Blizzard developed most of the background history that formed the backbone of its lore.
The Diablo franchise has a rich mythology. However, if you want to be immersed in its story and understand the characters you meet while you journey in the game, it is best to gain an insight into Diablo's lore. It is so simple and yet remarkably engaging. You see a monster, you kill it and take its loot.
To play and enjoy any of the Diablo games, you don't have to be familiar with the mythology of its universe.
