Diablo Immortal Lore & Story
The story is set between Diablo II and Diablo III. After the Events of Diablo II, Demon Lord Baal had the intention of poisoning everyone with the power of the Worldstone after he corrupted it. After a few moments, he was intercepted and defeated by the heroes, while the Archangel Tyrael pieced his sword, El'druin, through the center of the corrupted worldstone. This cause the Worldstone to split in Shards around the World of Sanctuary. This brings us to the events of Diablo Immortal.
In a moment of desperation, the archangel Tyrael destroyed the corrupted Worldstone, thinking his sacrifice would be a worthy price to end its dark influence. Yet, even in pieces, the Worldstone’s shards continue to befoul everything in their reach. New heroes are all that can stop the world from plummeting into utter chaos.
Adventurers will travel the breadth of Sanctuary to locate the Worldstone shards and finish what Tyrael started. With the help of the last Horadrim, Deckard Cain, you'll confront reawakened evils such as the Skeleton King and his Queen, cultists who worship the bloodthirsty Countess, and corrupted rogues once led by Akara. With Diablo defeated, will the other minions of Hell rise up to start their own reign of terror? Will these evils rally behind Skarn, a lieutenant of Hell?
The main Antagonist will be Skarn, who Adventurers need to stop from collecting the Worldstone fragments. Skarn aims to resurrect his leader and reignite the Eternal Conflict. Another Antagonist that the Adventurers need to stop is Coven, who brings havoc around the World of Sanctuary with the members of the Cult.
The plot of Diablo Immortal will overview what occurred to Humanity after the destruction of the Worldstone by Tyrael, what Deckard Cain has been doing, how the Demon Hunters were formed, and how Tyrael was reformed in Heaven. The Adventurer is a hero who joins up with the Horadrim remnants to stop the foes of the World of Sanctuary from ever recovering and obtaining the Worldstone.

This is Sanctuary. To protect it, you must cross many lands. Where forgotten evils linger. Yet you must go without fear. Into the heart of the unknown. This burden falls to us. A chance to fight the darkness. To ensure our home's survival.
The World of Sanctuary is a dark, wreched, and an unforgiving world. Deadly beings such as monsters, undead, and cultists roam the world, causing disorder among peaceful and wealthy areas. To survive, you must be merciless towards the enemies. The World of Sanctuary is actually separated from Heaven and Hell, but Demons and Hell's most destructive beings can be summoned in the World of Sanctuary due to Hell being close to Sanctuary.
The World of Sanctuary is divided into 10 Zones:
- Wortham
- Ashwold Cemetery
- Westmarch
- Dark Wood
- Shassar Sea
- Library of Zoltun Kulle
- Bilefen
- Mount Zavain
- Frozen Tundra
- The Realm of Damnation
Each of these Zones also have Dungeons where more Monstrous beings lie for the Adventurers to defeat. Wortham and Westmarch are the two Zones without respective Dungeons. Westmarch being the Main Hub for Adventurers, while Wortham being the tutorial ground for new Adventurers.
