That’s the legend, that’s what we’ve heard.
#Diablo 4 andariel free
In that mythos she and the angle Inarius along with other rebel angles and rebel demons tired of this endless great conflict created a world that would be free of conflict called Sanctuary and along with that created the first mortals. Lilith represents that demonic half that we all have inside our hearts. This is important because in the mythos of Sanctuary Lilith is the mother of humanity. It is against this backdrop of despair that Lilith returns and that’s when the events in the cinematic happened. Religious schisms, famine, war, basically humanity left to our own devices and we know how well we do on our own. You can imagine what that does to people. Entire populations decimated, cities ravaged, heaven itself suffered great losses causing them to shutter their gates. Though Malthael’s plans were foiled, the Angel of Death exacted a terrible toll on humanity and Sanctuary suffered grave devastation. Lilith could have easily conducted an assault on her own, but because she had been left severely weakened by the Dark Summoning ritual, she agreed to aid the Prime Evils and command some of their remaining forces.īlizzard explains the Diablo 4 timeline and how Lilith returns as follows:ĭiablo 4 takes place decades after the events of Reaper of Souls. Rage and a deep yearning for revenge boiled within the eyes of the Lord of Terror, and together he and Lilith resurrected the two remaining Prime Evils as well as Duriel and Izual, two of their strongest agents.ĭiablo announced his grand plan - the Three were finally strong enough to spread Pandemonium throughout Sanctuary. This ritual, long thought to be impossible by the most powerful mortal wizards, allowed Lilith to link with Diablo across realms, strengthening him until he was finally able to once again reincarnate himself in the mortal plane. She masterminded the revival of Diablo by manifesting herself in the mortal realm and performing a ritual of Dark Summoning. It has been debated if this part of Lilith's story is canon or not, since it's a only event.Īs the heroes searched for Diablo, and killed legions of Succubi and Lilith's daughter Andariel, she decided to intervene personally. Inarius also helped stopping her from behind the scenes, as was Rathma, and he banished her once more from Sanctuary. She tried to seduce him into creating the army of Nephalem she wanted, but ultimately failed as Uldyssian used his power against her. Lilith later returned and tried once more to use the Nephalem against her perceived opponents, weakening the Worldstone (that prevents Nephalem from developing their powers) and helped awaken Uldyssian's hidden Nephalem powers. Lilith prevented this by killing many of the rogue demons and angels, but ended with her being banished from Sanctuary. However, Lilith desired to use these powerful Nephalem as an army to take on both the Burning Hells as well as the High Heavens and with that came into conflict with Inarius who wanted to undo their creation. Her mating with Inarius resulted in the Nephalem cross between angel and demonkind, a very powerful race of beings who later became the dominant race on Sanctuary, the humans. Lilith was part of the rogue demons and angels who created Sanctuary. Such examples include Inarius and Uldyssian. She has always aimed to receive affection from powerful beings, using them as pawns to further her own goals. Lilith is a manipulator and seductress, attractive even in her demonic form.
