That is an interesting thought. What if the council didn't side on destroying Sanctuary...but Imperius' fiery temper and hatred of Sanctuary could be stretched no thinner and he rebels....taking his army of angels with him...

That's what I was thinking as a possible theory.

You are adding holes in your theory =/
Tyreal was not strong because the worldstone was still there.
How does that add any hole to my theory? A theory is just a theory, especially at this point with very little given information.
Is it stated somewhere canon that when the worldstone was destroyed the angels got more powerful on Sanctuary?
I thought it hid Sanctuary and limited their time being there but I didn't think it effected their power really.

it actually looks like a cross on his chest....
Ignore the DNA strand or whatever it is, but does that not look like a sword and a cross, also its a lot harder to distinguish when it's made out of light.
Great theory! To me, it looks like the angel shown in the cinematic is inside the cathedral. It seems quite plausible that it is Imperius coming to shut Sanctuary down, as it were.
I considered the 'dimensional' traveling thing and, while it does make sense, the 'Hell' in Diablo has always been below or under the earth, no? Heaven would be above. So I think its still feasible that an angel could be the meteor, whether or not of his own accord.
That would make for a great multi-threaded epic storyline with a power struggle in both Heaven and Hell, while trying to save Sanctuary and wondering if you are on the right side.
mhmmmm Malthael is the Archangel of death, and i think he voted for the destruction of Sanctuary (Auriel and Ithrael for Saving it and Malthael and Imperius for destroying it, Tyrael had the finay say and he voted to save it) so it would make sense that there was a political deadlock and Malthael voted for destroyin sanctuary

Actually, Malthael vote was Abstain. He did not vote in pro nor against. Placing the global votes by the Angiris Council as follow:
Imperius: Against
Auriel: Pro
Itherael: Pro
Malthael: Abstain
Tyrael: Pro
According to Rathma, when Imperius asked Tyrael if he would support him by voting against this would place the votation into a stalemate. A Draw. Rathma explained a Draw would also result in Sanctuary's destruction as judgement.
Tyrael gave his vote in pro of Sanctuary's survival, placing votes as:

Now that Tyrael has went out of his way to meddle in the affairs of Sanctuary though, do you think the council might listen to Imperius and see Sanctuary as nothing but trouble and a way to corruption through breaking the laws they have set forth?

if it was a draw Sanctuary would be destroyed... lemme ask Was Imperius an important angel? since his vote even alone is enough to challenge Auriel's And Ithrael

Uhh re-read the final score count.
1 Against-survival of Sanctuary
1 Abstain
3 Pro-survival of Sanctuary
I am not in the Creative Design team to know that, and if I was part of that team, I wouldn't probably be able to answer. Remember those brain bomb implants comic of Penny Arcade fame.
My opinion here could be twofold. It is possible the Angiris Council could have seen the affairs of Diablo II and Lord of Destruction as a threat to the High Heavens. The edyrem in possession of the Burning Hells is a threat to everything. And now without the Worldstone in place, and Mephisto's pact broken -- there is no barrier against the Burning Hells from taking the edyrem as their prize.
The Angiris Council might find Sanctuary's life forfeit. Or, maybe Itherael and Auriel still think the edyrem should have a chance to prove their worth -- and Imperius has decided to take action without the Angiris Council's support.
Blizzard could go both ways here. However, Imperius going rogue would be far more interesting. He would be going against the Angiris Council's decision, with no mercy. That type of scenario would set a big war in Sanctuary, and still give the High Heavens the edge of redemption trying to help Sanctuary's heroes. I like that idea better.
who else was against? Tyrael was pro... and Malthael was Abstain
This is the final score.
Imperius: Against survival of Sanctuary.
Auriel: Pro survival of Sanctuary.
Itherael: Pro survival of Sanctuary.
Tyrael: Pro survival of Sanctuary.
Malthael: Null
So in essence it was 3 for the survival of Sanctuary, 1 for it's destruction, and 1 undecided/null.
Imperius: Against survival of Sanctuary.
Auriel: Pro survival of Sanctuary.
Itherael: Pro survival of Sanctuary.
Tyrael: Pro survival of Sanctuary.
Malthael: Null
So in essence it was 3 for the survival of Sanctuary, 1 for it's destruction, and 1 undecided/null.
oh i get it now... so one turned states and made a different vote, i would bet that it's Tyrael

Or possibly Imperius is just acting on his own?
if it was a draw Sanctuary would be destroyed... lemme ask Was Imperius an important angel? since his vote even alone is enough to challenge Auriel's And Ithrael

Wise ElderSomething like that, I believe when Imperius asked Tyrael about it, Tyrael decided to let Sanctuary survive.
