LONG AGO BEFORE THE GREAT DECARD CANE A RIDDLE WAS SET SO ONE DAY SOMEONE WOULD LEARN THE FINAL SECRET OF THE HORRODRIM IT IS AS FOLLOWS:
WE THE HORRODRIM HAVE A PAST WE WISH TO REVELE TO A WORTHY ADVENCHERER:AT THE FULL MOON THEY ARE MOST POWERFUL....THEY ARE TRULY SATANIC....THERE BROTHERS ARE BLOOD AND STONE THEY ARE CLANS......THEY ARE OUR PAST FOR WE DWELE IN THERE SHADOWS.......THEY SERVED DIABLO AND WE CHANGED WE BECAME MAN AND VOWED TO DISTROY OUR PREVIOUS MASTER...........
DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS MEANS THE HORRODRIM WERE DESENDENTS OF GOATMEN....WHO VOWED TO KILL DIABLO AND THEY EVOLVED INTO HUMANS HORRODRIMS WERE ONCE IN THE MOON CLAN OF GOAT MEN THATS THERE FINAL SECRET
Where'd you get this?
and i dont think the Horadrim mages were descendants from Goatmen, since they were a single (or a few) clan and they were known as the Khazra and they still exist today (game timeline)
The khazra (colloquially known as "goatmen") were long thought to be natural inhabitants of our world, akin to the lacuni "panther-men" tribes of the desert and mountain regions, but I have recently discovered evidence revealing that nothing could be further from the truth. The history of the khazra is much more complex and disturbing than has been previously imagined.
According to ancient carvings that I have succeeded in translating, the khazra were originally human, part of the umbaru race found in the thick Torajan jungles in the Teganze region of the eastern continent. At some point in the distant past, the five clans that would come to be known as the khazra migrated to higher elevations and began developing along different lines than the clansmen they left behind. They lived in relative peace and began the transition from a hunter-gatherer society to a farming one. This state of affairs changed dramatically when they encountered the Vizjerei about two thousand years ago (if my translations prove to be correct).
This was the height of the Mage Clan Wars, and even the mighty Vizjerei mage clan was showing signs of stress brought about by the prolonged struggle. A faction of the Vizjerei resolved to construct an army using demon-possessed victims, and the peaceful umbaru clans seemed to fit the Vizjerei's needs. It is unknown how the clans first came into contact with the Vizjerei, but within the span of a decade or so, some of the future khazra clans had turned from their peaceful existence to all-out warfare with the Vizjerei. This was surely the result of seeing their brothers being painfully transformed into savage goat-like creatures by the Vizjerei.
"As decades of savage warfare took their toll on the umbaru's culture and minds, the clans began to search for any means to prevail over their enemies. In fact, they lost sight of anything else." Though they were primitive by the standards of the Vizjerei, the umbaru clans held the powerful mages at bay through familiarity with the terrain and sheer ferocity. But this state of affairs could not hold forever. As decades of savage warfare took their toll on the umbaru's culture and minds, the clans began to search for any means to prevail over their enemies. In fact, they lost sight of anything else.
Exact details on what transpired next are scarce, but I have ascertained that at some point during the next two hundred years they decided to use the Vizjerei's strength against them. To this end, the clans actively sought to capture a mage to do their bidding. Eventually they succeeded in violently coercing one of their captives to help them not only gain control over their transformed clan mates, but to have themselves transformed as well in order to fully drive the Vizjerei out of the Teganze.
Their strategy worked, but it was not without its price. They found themselves bound in servitude to the demon Zagraal in exchange for their cursed power (note that I neither endorse nor dismiss theories of a "Burning Hell" by the use of the term demon; it is simply used here in its original intent: to describe a being of malevolent or loathsome origin). They became furious marauders, driven to raid villages and caravans to sate their bloodlust and procure sacrificial victims for their demonic master. This is also when they became known as khazra, which roughly translates as "demon" or "devil" in the umbaru tongue.
After years of this terror, their previous brothers, the umbaru of the lower Teganze, sent their sacred witch doctor warriors to eradicate the khazra's threat to the region. Filled with otherworldly power, the witch doctors cut a swath of destruction through the khazra until they confronted Zagraal himself. In a now-legendary battle, the valiant heroes fought to the last man before finally bringing Zagraal down.
The khazra continued to wage war on humanity, but without a source of demonic power to draw from, they became weak. Despite a slight unexplained resurgence twenty or so years ago, their fury steadily drained from them until they became the sluggish and muddled beings we know today.
Addendum: While researching the various hostile wildlife that adventurers regularly encounter in their work, I have been informed that the khazra have regained some of their lost vim and vigor and are once again ferociously attacking humans. As of this writing, such reports remain uncorroborated by reliable sources.
Goat men are former members of the Umbaru clan. Not Horadrim.
And his name is Deckard Cain.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
That's bs, Imo the Horadrim are simply a third generation of Nephalem mainly due to Uldyssian alteration of the Worldstone. Ever noticed that Horadrim sounds a lot like Edyrem.
lol, 'Horadrim' and 'edyrem' don't sound very similar. The only common sounds are the 'm' at the end. Its completely illogical to make a connection based on that.
Of course the Horadrim are a generation of Nephalem - ALL humans are a generation of Nephalem. But third generation? No way. The Horadrim are simply the greatest mages that formed a temporary union.
Does anyone else not think this guy is just being silly? He's claiming he used to work for Blizzard but look at how he spells everything. Horradrim, Decard Cane, a long with MANY MANY other spelling errors.
Spelling errors are fine, I just don't think he's even being serious.
lol yeah, I don't think he's being serious either. The spelling errors though might just be from him sounding out the words. Or yeah, he might have done it on purpose. Who knows.

Was Zagraal a normal demon? or was he something else
