In particular page 16-17... does anyone know why in CAIN'S journal it's showing the opening to Diablo 2? The opening actually takes place at the end of the series and then shows a flashback of the wanderer... but 16-17 doesn't address anything that Cain knows about. Cain doesn't even know about Marius at that point in his journal, some people saw a Wanderer but pretty much ignored Marius so Cain wouldn't have been told about him. That's not until later pages.
Another thing is page 24-25. It describes Diablo being 'driven back' into hell. That isn't consistant with what we saw in the animation, since Diablo and Baal went into hell voluntarily while Mephisto stayed behind to watch things. Diablo wasn't there when the heroes got there, he wasn't 'fleeing' or 'retreating' or whatever. I'm presuming they were going back to take hell away from Azmodan and Belial, presumably because Andariel and Duriel had fled from those two and figured if they could help the three brothers retake it they'd get their stuff back.
Plus, it would help them collect forces to invade Ararat.

I mean the barbarian class has gray hair and whatnot so that is an indicator of some serious time lapse.
20 years, as per the FAQ.
and remember, they admited they were changing the lore of Diablo, this migh thave been a few things of change.
Sorry I worked all day im only catching up now.........
But yeah Blizz likes to edit lore as they like. Look at everything that changed for the Burning Crusade exp pack?
I say that he must be coming close to 100 y/o if he isn't already older lol.
According to one thread floating around here he is "Old NPC" I had a good laugh.
