The gates of heaven have been closed after Malthael, the Angel of Death, destroyed much of Sanctuary. Other than Lilith's return and the vague details about her plans for Sanctuary, not much else is known about Diablo 4's narrative, and players have been left to speculate prior to the game's release.For those who haven't been following along in the in-game events, Diablo 4 will be set after Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls.
If Lilith is seeking to empower the nephalem again, this could also provide some interesting antagonists or even strengthen the player's own character as the game progresses as well. Although the Pandemonium Event in Diablo 2 is not strictly considered canon, it could provide some hints as to how Lilith will go about her nefarious plan of domination and might suggest that she could attempt to summon Diablo or other Prime Evils. The developers have promised a much grittier and grounded approach for Diablo 4's narrative compared to its predecessor Diablo 3. Her ultimate goal – to ensure that the nephalem will rise again – will probably be a central crux of Diablo 4's story. Lilith awakens the darkest urges in the hearts of those that encounter her, and her return to Sanctuary will no doubt lead to a return of darkness and despair as well. Lilith's return inspired a new wave of cultists and worshipers throughout the mortal realm, as her arrival was seen by some as the answer to ending the Eternal Conflict. Although Lilith has managed to cause mayhem and temporarily return to Sanctuary in various guises, Inarius was successfully able to reinstate her banishment to the Void.Īs seen in the announcement trailer for Diablo 4, a member of the Triune successfully tricked two adventurers and a scholar into entering a ritual chamber so that Lilith could finally be released thousands of years after her initial banishment from Sanctuary. Lilith did make a return to Sanctuary previously and altered the power of the Worldstone to grant nephalem powers again. But Lilith was still honored in legend, referred to as the First Mother by some and inspiring cults to continue to worship her. He also made sure that each subsequent generation of nephalem grew weaker, avoiding the problem that the renegade demons and angels feared of their progeny rising up against them. Inarius was appalled at Lilith's betrayal and savagery, and while he could not bring himself to kill her, he did banish her to the Void. Some wanted to destroy them, and Lilith, fearing for her children and seeing them as the key to ending the conflict for good, murdered every follower of Inarius who wanted to destroy them. Other nephalem followed, but the rogue angels and demons began to worry about their offspring's growing strength and felt threatened by this new race of beings. Lilith and Inarius gathered like-minded followers and retreated to Sanctuary for a break from the Eternal Conflict, and eventually, the demon and the rogue angel had Rathma, a first-generation nephalem, and the first child to be conceived between two such beings.
