Long Road's End is a poem found in the Diablo II manual. It is written by Chris Metzen.
It reads as follows:
- What fires burn within my heart and force me to contend
- With the perils that await me at this tragic journey's end?
- I have walked the roads that lead to Hell, I have challenged all but Fate.
- I have fought and bled and carried on just to reach this final gate.
- And now the task before me looms, this dire deed undone;
- I shall make my stand against the Three until the battle's won.
- What fear or wound would ever still this last defiant cry,
- As I stand against the Shadow 'neath the endless burning sky?
Trivia[]
- The poem may be a continuation of The Initiate, but this is unclear—both parts of The Initiate are labelled as "Part I/II," but Long Road's End lacks any such designation.
