The Story and Lore of the Diablo world, traced from the origins in Diablo I, through Diablo 2 and the novels, evolved and codified in Book of Cain, then advanced into Diablo 3 and beyond. Featuring Flux, Neinball, and HolyKnight.
Flux is joined by lore aficionados Neinball and HolyKnight for a discussion of the Diablo world’s lore and how it’s been presented in the various games and axillary materials, with special focus on the recent 
Book of Cain and Book of Tyrael. Events, characters, and story twists up to Reaper of Souls are included, plus some speculation about what we might see in D3 expansion, but there are no RoS spoilers, so listen without fear of ruining anything in the Expansion’s story (assuming you’ve seen the opening cinematic and already know the general Malthael-centered plot as the devs have revealed it already.)

Metcons! If Metzen made it up in the first place, does he have the right to change it afterwards? Is Prince Aiden really a metcon? How about Adria?
The Black Soulstone. Why Tyrael removed it from Heaven after D3’s events. Why his sword didn’t touch Malthael and why Malthael didn’t kill him. All are explained in the Book of Tyrael.
Pandemonium Fortress. Very important location in the world lore, and the version of it in Diablo II was very misleading when compared to the full story. Players should be very surprised to see it in RoS, since Blizzard hasn’t revealed any screens or even concept art of their new design.
