OverviewEdit

The main character, Jacob, receives visions of an ancient prophecy from Tyrael's sword. The prophecy leads him to the archangel.[2] It is set 20 years after the events of Lord of Destruction[3] and acts as a bridge between Diablo II and its sequel, giving information on what has been happening in Sanctuary in the two decade gap between games.[4] It is mostly centered in the Dreadlands and the Arreat Crater. Other locations glimpsed at include Lut Gholein.[3]
