So after playing Diablo II on and off for almost a decade I figured today I would read some of the Lore stickies here so I have my head around at least the basic Diablo story and have a few questions.
1. How does Tyrael find out about Sanctuary, wasn't the World Stone meant to hide it from those in Heaven and Hell?
2. Who wipes the memories of the people of Sanctuary and when?
[spoil]If I recall correctly, there is one guy in birthright who gains the powers of the Nephalem. Lilith awakens those powers to be exact.
Now what I've heard is that in a later book Mephisto and the Angiris Council convene to talk about this unfortunate turn of events. They decide to reset everything: no more Triune, no more Inarius' church, no more awakened Nephalem and no more memories of said events.[/spoil]
where does it say that the people on Sanctuary had their minds wiped?
"It was agreed that they wanted to leave Sanctuary alone to see how it would turn out. However, it was also decided that everyone's memory on Sanctuary had to be wiped so that mortals as a whole could properly start anew, unaware of the forces that had created them and, ultimately, might bring them to their Destruction."
I realize that all the info on the wiki is not always 100% accurate or correct but does this refer to the angels and demons having their memory wiped or the people "on" Sanctuary themselves?
EDIT - Sorry did not read Shatterer's post as I was gathering the above quote.
OK, now I see what the article is trying to say, thank you for clearing that up.
Diablofan's own PhrozenDragon has some excellent lore explanations in our own wiki. Unless I'm mistaken, and Phrozen might be able to clarify, but it is not clear how Tyrael found Sanctuary, but it is obvious that Hell had found it first. It is perhaps the nature of the Great Conflict that neither Heaven nor Hell be granted any long lasting advantage over the other, and that is how Tyrael ended up with knowledge of Sanctuary's existence.
You need to read the Sin Wars to find the answer to those questions. I would answer them but I would go into too much detail and spoil the books for you. It's very clearly laid out in the books. I would honestly suggest reading the books rather than the spoiler answer of another.

[spoil]Just for the record, the only people who didn't lose their memory was trag'oul, rathma and mendelyn(sp?)(Who had his name changed by trag'oul to Kalan shortly after the wipe)[/spoil]

Thank You
2. What do you mean? when?
What I mean is; is there an event that takes place to justify this happening?
