The Nephalem saw to her freedom by destroying Rakanoth. " Hope will be swallowed by Despair." Although brief, upon the beginning of Diablo's attack on the Silver City, Auriel was captured by Rakanoth, the Lord of Despair.Indeed, even three millennia after the Sin War, Imperius possesses little love for humanity, even going so far as to threaten the Nephalem as the hero sought to defeat Diablo in Heaven. " Valor shall turn to Wrath": This seems to refer to Imperius Cain once voiced concern as to what would await Sanctuary if angels focused their wrath upon Sanctuary." Justice shall fall upon the world of men": Because most of the Angiris Council refused to protect humanity against the forces of Hell in favor of the ancient laws of the High Heavens, Tyrael chose to become mortal and literally fell from Heaven to Sanctuary as the Fallen Star." Wisdom shall be lost": Malthael departed from the Council and Heaven at large after the Worldstone's destruction.
The prophecy's words each correspond to a virtue embodied by each of the archangels who are/were part of the Angiris Council, covering events before, during, and after Diablo's invasion of the High Heavens. Horadric text pertaining to Garreth Rau went as follows:Īnd the High Heavens shall rain down upon Sanctuary as a false leader arises from the ashes.the tomb of Al Cut will be revealed, and the dead shall lay waste to mankind. Shall clash across the fields of eternity. Justice shall fall upon the world of men. The first sign shall appear in the Heavens. Extra TextĬain has voiced some other lines of the prophecy, though not necessarily recorded them. And, at the End of Days, Wisdom shall be lostĪnd all Hope will be swallowed by Despair.ĭeath, at last, shall spread its wings over all -Īs Fate lies shattered forever. Li-Ming was also aware of the prophecy (or related prophecies). Īdria also gained access to the prophecy, and concluded that it referred to the fragmentation of the Angiris Council. However, this part of the prophecy (the rising of the dead) he, Cain, and the First Ones were able to prevent coming to pass. The writings were verified by the Patriarchs. The writings he obtained spoke of a coming war between darkness and light, and of the rising of the dead on the first day of Ratham. A scroll from jungle ruins in Torajan, a Zakarum prophecy in the caves of Westmarch, and one from the bowels of Bastion's Keep. Mikulov gained access to fragments of the prophecy. Cain received his version from Horadric tomes, and after the destruction of Mount Arreat, spent close to twenty years trying to complete it. However, no one single version was complete. These include writings of both the Horadrim (warning of the rising dead and Belial), and the Zakarum (speaking of the Fallen Star. The prophecy was written by many different people throughout history in many different lands.
In truth, the prophecy is not one single text, but multiple texts. The prophecy is a warning in regards to Hell's final invasion of Sanctuary.
