Not to be a prodder, but it looks like the parent post could use some updating with more of these recent questions-and-answers.
I think you're doing a great job with this Atrumentis, and really appreciate the time you put into clearing a lot of things up. I'm a lore-fanatic myself and love learning more about the canon.
Because of their relationship. Tyrael is Inarius's "brother" (not in the same sense in which we use the word 'brother', but similar). I suppose it might be because Tyrael knows Inarius best, and Inarius knows Tyrael best? Its not just a power level thing, its a relationship thing. Anyway, who says Imperius is the strongest? He's the one that humans have to fear because he wants Sanctuary destroyed, not who angels have to fear. And wanting Sanctuary destroyed kind of puts Imperius on Inarius' side anyway.
He seems to be the Archangel of War, but it hasn't been confirmed. Whatever his title is, its bound to be something similar. And yeah, he does seem to be a bit of a leader, but I wasn't really feeling that the other archangels feared him, though they could slightly.
That is entirely a game mechanic; of course people in Snactuary don't run out into the wilderness, get killed by demons, and then respawn again in town
If however you also mean what happends after death, i.e. afterlife, that's something with very little info on.

Well Diablo doesn't feature it. You could say that Hardcore characters are how real characters would behave, while Softcore characters are just gameplay-friendly versions.

Say could someone make list of all the Q & A so then questions could be look up quickly instead of reading all 54 pages.
Q: Echoes of War: Children of the Worldstone, Last Angel, The Eternal Conflict, and Legacy of Terror music titles suggest events in D3? Oh sure there just music titles but could they have a deeper meaning.
Q: What happen to Tal Rasha's body? In the open citmanitc in LoD Baal's body appears no longer a mummy, did he discard Tal Rasha withering body for a new one/create or transform it? (This probability a repeat question, sorry.)
Q: I think there was something about the Zakarum but I can't remember if there was anything info about the Zakarum status in Moon of the Spider. Are they rebuilding, scattered, lost etc...
Q: "This fire from the sky reawakens ancient evils and calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells once again." Besides from good old Diablo, does this mean we'll be see more dead faces again? King Leoric we know already, Lucion, Duriel, Nihlathak etc... Blizzard seems to make a habit of bring back the dead in Warcraft like Muradin and Mal'ganis.

Speculation question, that's for another thread. However I have no idea, haven't paid all too much attention to the music of D3 so far.

Never specified, but it seems reasonable to assume he is still in Tal Rasha's body at the time of LoD. He has distinct human features, as well as voice, as well as some tentacle-like things on his back.

Good question. They are probably, but I don't know to what extent.

I actually took Tyrael and Inarius as being literally brothers. Could you please elaborate on what you mean? In what sense are they 'brothers' and how did you notice this? Its been a while since I read the triolgy, maybe I must have missed or forgot something.
Brother in the physical sense assumes that you are genetically family and have the same mother and father.
As the Angels have existed since time began for all we know, and someone had to be first, they cannot be brothers the same way humans are. Similarly, Diablo, Mephisto and Baal aren't either, although they too use the term.

Who was the guy with wings of flames in the end of "the moon of the spider"? I think he was angel or something of that sort, but not sure. :confused:
I don't even remember that part, so I hope someone else can asnwer that for you

OK i understand what you mean but there surely has to be some way for angels and demons to reproduce, especially since Mephisto had 2 children and Inarius and Lilith fathered Rathma together. I see your point though.
Yes they can. However, The Archangels are THE angels, the first and foremost. They cannot have fathered themselves, and no one came before them. Hence they're not brothers.
Of course it's possible they were both spawned from the original primordial soup of creation. Maybe that's why they call themselves brothers

Can someone explain for me exactly what the Worldstone does, and why it being destroyed could have been a bad decision for Tyrael?
I'll answer this, the rest belongs in another thread.
The Worldstone was generally believed to hold the forces of Hell at bay to keep them from invadingSanctuary. At least that was the impression given in Diablo II.
The Sin War trilogy however threw all that around. According to the last book, the Worlstone only hid Sanctuary from Heaven and Hell, but did not offer any real physical protection. In addition, it also inhibited the magical powers inherent in all humans as a result of their "divine" heritage so to speak.
Because of this change, the Worlstone no longer had a purpose as a barrier. The new reason given for Hell not invading was a truce between the two celestial powers. Both agreed to leave the mortal realm free of their battles, however that hasn't deterred both sides from intervening in to lesser degrees since then.
However, the Worlstone is still not completely understood by anyone, save perhaps for Inarius, and so realistically there was still no way to tell what would happen exacly as a result of the stone being destroyed.

I think we'll find Inarius in Diablo III and he will explain everything to us.

Hey, was just perusing this thread and found this. After reading the article on Caldeum, it seems as though the Zakarum are rebuilding in some fashion, the members of which still harbor the hatred and prejudices from the D2 era. Hatred once more takes ahold of men's hearts...
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Oh God, that turned out to me much more lengthy than I expected. It will take some time to write a justifiable summary, and it shall be put in the wiki I think.
