I am absolutely sick and tired of KZbin channels putting stuff up with titles like "________ EXPLAINED" and "EXPLORING ______ LORE" and it just being some guy reading off the wiki for whatever given property it is or just rambling for 11 minutes. I clicked on this series without really thinking, and was about to back out thinking I was going to be bamboozled again but it's three episodes later and I'm glad I didn't! Great use of humor, well structured lore explanations, and good editing are making me happy to come back and I'm happy to subscribe 😊

Ya I had to watch the Lilith one, now I'm about to smash the rest. Hope Rhykker does a new one soon, maybe a part 10.5 to rehash the lore. Been playing Diablo since its inception and have missed about 95% of this. Don't know if thats my fault or Blizzards.
@SStoj5 жыл бұрын
@@maxpain6156 Majority of the lore is from supplementary material. I ignore any lore that isn't from the games, so most of this stuff is new to me. Mainly Blizzard's fault. If they want people to see lore, then they can put it in their games, not try to force people to buy more shit (books, comics, etc) to complete the info.

2:36 I simply cannot wait for Mephisto and Baal to be added in Heroes of the Storm so we can see this kind of interaction between them and Diablo in the pre-match conversations. 5:13 Also worth noting, the Sorcerer from Diablo I (whose real name is Jazreth) became The Summoner fought at the Arcane Sanctuary in Diablo II. 8:27 Now I also want a Mecha Diablo skin for Heroes of the Storm where he turns into a Lamborghini when mounting.

@Sun Shower Out of the playable characters, all of them. *_"The Warrior",_* Aidan, the eldest son of King Leoric, who killed Diablo himself in the depths of hell below the Cathedral of Tristram. Diablo was possessing the body of his younger brother, Albrecht. In an attempt to contain the evil essence of Diablo, Aidan shoved the soulstone on his forehead and became the Dark Wanderer before being completely taken over by Diablo. *_"The Rogue",_* Moreina, part of the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye, joined Aidan in his quest to slay Diablo. After the events of Diablo I she returned to her order in the Rogue Encampment, scarred by the events. This moment of weakness made her vulnerable, and she was eventually corrupted by Andariel, and became the Blood Raven. In Diablo II, Act I, Akara even mentions that the Blood Raven was one of the heroes that fought Diablo in Tristram. *_"The Sorcerer",_* Jazreth, was a member of the Vizjerei Clan sent to investigate Tristram, and joined Aidan and Moreina in their quest. Like Moreina, he was also traumatized by the battles that took place below Tristram's Cathedral, and later traveled to Lut Gholein to find the Arcane Monastery. After fighting countless demons in the Cathedral of Tristram, Jazreth wanted to go back to the roots of the Vizjerei teachings and learn how to bend the will of demons himself, but this led to him being corrupted by the demonic influence. He then took the mantle of The Summoner and impersonated Horazon. In Diablo II, Act II, Deckard Cain mentions that The Summoner bears resemblance to the sorcerer he met in Tristram. Among other returning characterss, there is also Griswold, the Blacksmith, and Wirt, both characters from Diablo I that can be found at Tristram in Act I, during the quest to rescue Deckard Cain. As you know, Griswold is fought as a Unique Undead, while Wirt's body can be found, where he drops plenty of gold and his wooden leg (which is a material for opening the Cow Level portal).

2:29 Diabolos actually comes from the greek diavolos(διάβολος) which derives from the verb: διαβάλλω(thiavalo, "th" as in "this" not d) which means to calumniate, to vilify, to slander. In the religious context, to say bad words to humans against God, in order to draw them to temptation and away from the God's path, and whatnot.
