追捕三魔王
The rampage by the Prime Evils made the disperse mage clans of the humans
unite as a group they called the Horadrim, a group of the most powerful
sorcerers the human race had ever seen. The Archangel Tyrael contacted them and
gave them Soulstones to capture the Prime Evils with.
Led by the Initiates Tal Rasha and Jered Cain, the Horadrim found Mephisto in
the Kehjistan jungles, and managed to capture him within the Soulstone meant for
him. He was buried under the Temple of Light in what would become Kurast and
guarded by a large section of the magi brotherhood.
Baal was found and defeated in the Aranoch desert, not too far from Lut
Gholein. However, the Demon Lord managed to shatter the Soulstone, and an
improvised prison was used for Baal. Tal Rashas very soul would help contain the
demon, chained to a Binding Stone in the Tomb of Tal Rasha, located in the
Canyon of the Magi.
Jered Cain led the remaining Horarim to the West, and caught up with Diablo
near the river Talsande. They fought a bitter and hard battle, with heavy
losses, but managed to subdue the red terror. He was imprisoned in his Soulstone
and buried in caves nearby, whereupon a Horadric monastery was built.
Neither of the Three Demon Lords had anticipated not only to be defeated, but
be unable to escape.
三魔王的回归
However, some centuries later, after the taskless Horadrim brotherhood had
all but disappeared, Mephisto managed to reach out to the local Zakarum
priesthood in the now sprawling city of Kurast and draw them to him. He
corrupted the priesthood, and sent emissaries of Zakarum out into the world
while he built his power.
Whether or not Lord Leoric, a very well known pious man, came from these
expeditions or not, he brought with him the Zakarum religion to Khanduras from
the East, and made himself King with his seat of power in Tristram, the very
same location Diablo was still imprisoned. Diablo tried to corrupt Leoric but
failed, making the King mad in the progress. However, his Archbishop and advisor
Lazarus was susceptible, and was made to free the Prime Evil, giving him
Leoric's only son Albrecht as a host to possess.
Terror started reigning again, and although the mad King Leoric eventually
was killed by his trusted commander Lachdanan, the worries did not end. The
Cathedral was still spewing out evil beasts.
Many adventurers tried to travel down in the labyrinths beneath the Cathedral
in search for fame and fortune, but all died or fled. One day came an unknown
man, who did manage to reach the deepest parts of the labyrinth and find Diablo
in a section that had already begun to corrupt into a likeness of Hell. A
frightful battle took place, and the hero was successful.
He tried to contain the demon within himself, to bring it to the Eastern mage
clans for a final defeat, but in the end he succumbed to the powerful force of
Diablo and became the Dark Wanderer.
黑暗流浪者
Some time after the release of Diablo and his travels to the East in the
guise of the Dark Wanderer, Diablo and/or Mephisto regained some control of Hell
again, as the Lesser Evils of Andariel and Duriel once again stood by the Prime
Evils. Possibly as punishment, they were just placed as guards against the
passage East, to delay the human heroes from capturing Diablo. Exactly what went
on here is not known.
The Dark Wanderer did indeed turn East, but to free his brothers, not defeat
Diablo. The demonic decoys did indeed slow down the heroes, and with the help of
his companion Marius, the Dark Wanderer managed to free Baal from his prison in
the Tomb of Tal Rasha despite Tyrael physically intervening.
The heroes arrived too late, but managed to free Tyrael, which was bound to
the Binding Stone in place of Baal.
