With the plan made Lilith let Inarius escape so that he may find allies amongst the Heavens while she sought out likewise disenfranchised demons within the Hells.Īfter some time the two groups met in secret in Pandemonium with a single goal, to steal the Worldstone. From this shared experience they hatched a plan to escape from the confines of war and be free from the shackles of the Eternal Conflict once and for all. Seeing a kindred spirit Lilith came to know Inarius better and something developed between the two that no one had thought would be possible, love. As Lilith would tell the story, it was during her tortures that Inarius broke down and confessed to her of his frustrations with the Eternal Conflict and how pointless the endless battles were. Little did she expect that this chance encounter would forever alter her fate and the destiny of the rest of Creation. It was during a raid that the Heavenly Hosts had made on the Realm of Hatred that Lilith captured an Archangel, Inarius, to torture and play with to bemuse herself out of the boredom of the Eternal Conflict. The Renegades and the Creation of Sanctuary She thought, she knew, that she could do better if she was in control of the armies of Hell, but she would never be able to directly challenge her father or any of the other Great Evils directly for that chance to prove herself. Lilith would become bored with Eternal Conflict and saw her father as foolish, endlessly fighting the same battles on the same battlefields over and over again in a constant stalemate with no real progress ever being made. She wielded these powers just as aptly as her father, but chaffed under his rule. Mephisto would pass on these traits of cunning, manipulation, and intrigue to his children, the first among them being Lilith. Due to constant infighting, none of the other Great Evils could ever truly challenge his control of the Burning Hells. Mephisto was a master of manipulation and used his cunning to pit his lessers against one another. Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, was the very first demon to awaken from the corpse of Tathamet and his dominion of the Burning Hells has lasted ever since. The Eternal Conflict would be waged ceaselessly with neither side ever truly winning a decisive victory over the other and it’s from this endless stalemate that descent would be born on both sides.īefore Lilith would be known as the Mother of Sanctuary, she was the Daughter of Hatred. The worlds created by the Angels were too rigid to form life and those created by Demons were too chaotic and would rip themselves apart. The Worldstone would change hands endlessly in the ebb and flow of the Conflict, but it is written that neither side could truly master the Stone’s power. Both Heaven and Hell craved this artifact and so began the Eternal Conflict, an unending war that would engulf all of Creation. The Worldstone had unimaginable power, creating or destroying worlds with but a whim. It was in Pandemonium that one last relic of Anu would settle, an all-powerful artifact called the Worldstone. The place the two titans had slain each other would be a permanent scar on Creation that would be known as Pandemonium. Tathamet’s decaying corpse would become the foundation of the Burning Hells and from each of her seven heads would form the Great Evils, first and chief among them being Mephisto. These two divine beings instantly began to fight each other for what could be described as eons until they slew one another in a karmic strike that destroyed the Pearl and threw their essences across the cosmos into the newly created universe that would be known as Creation.Īnu’s essence would coalesce into the High Heavens where his spine would become the Crystal Arch and give birth to the Angels, such as Malthael and Tyrael. They coalesced into the Prime Evil, the seven-headed dragon Tathamet. So he cast off this darkness from himself, but these metaphysical concepts didn’t just fade away. Terror, valor, hope, despair, justice, hatred and all the things inbetween existed within him, but eventually Anu wanted to be free from the negative aspects of himself, those things he deemed evil. In that Pearl existed a single being, Anu, who encompassed everything. In the beginning there was but a small Pearl of existence that floated in the empty void of the Abyss. This story begins in the time before time at the genesis of all things, before Sanctuary, before the Eternal Conflict, and even before the universe, Creation, had formed. We know that Lilith has returned to the world of Sanctuary to terrorize humanity yet again, but why? Where has she been all this time and what are her goals for the souls of man?īefore we can tell the tale of Lilith’s story we need to go back and give context to the universe of Diablo.
