Very likely I would say, if there is war between Heaven and Hell and Sanctuary, then Nephalem would be square in the middle having to choose who to fight for or to start there own army?
You know Azazel who was a fallen angel came to earth and slept with human girls and created giants...
That was in an old biblical book, not in the bible though, same story in genesis but no mention of azazel, it was in the book of Enoch... heres a quote...
"
According to 1 Enoch (a book of the Apocrypha), Azazel (here spelled ‘ăzā’zyēl) was one of the chief Grigori, a group of fallen angels who married women. This same story (without any mention of Azazel) is told in Genesis 6:2-4:
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. […] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also afterward, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 1 Enoch portrays Azazel as responsible for teaching people to make weapons and cosmetics, for which he was cast out of heaven. 1 Enoch 8:1-3a reads:
And Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and shields and breastplates; and made known to them the metals [of the earth] and the art of working them; and bracelets and ornaments; and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids; and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways. The corruption brought on by Azazel and the Grigori degrades the human race, and the four archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel) “saw much blood being shed upon the earth and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth […] The souls of men [made] their suit, saying, "Bring our cause before the Most High; […] Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were in heaven, which men were striving to learn."
God sees the sin brought about by Azazel and has Raphael “bind Azazel hand and foot and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert — which is in Dudael — and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there forever, and cover his face that he may not see light.”
"The Book of Genesis refers to Nephilim as the offspring of marriages between "daughters of humans" and "sons of God."
Nephalem is offspring between humans and gods.
That may play a role in Diablo 3 definitely.
Because it is a war between hell and heaven, now there may be Nephalem, as the Ancients are spirits of the "giants" which can also be nephalem, but they could also be children of human and god.
And The Prime Evils may have softened up Hell because they want to conquer it over again, remember they must not have been there if they were in our realm, or sanctuary?
So they wanted to go re-conquer it.
They HATE sanctuary and people, that is what the battle is over.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH CAIN AND WHAT WILL HIS ROLE BE IN D3?
???
He was Horadrim correct!?
"The Horadrim is an ancient brotherhood of Magi that was formed by the ArchangelTyrael to combat the Three Prime Evils Diablo, Mephisto and Baal when they were banished to the mortal realm. Known members include Tal Rasha, Jered Cain and Deckard Cain. Deckard Cain is the last of the Horadrim mages and is schooled in the most obscure lore and history of the arcane."

Quote The Truth...
You guys need to not mix and match lol.
It's a program that generates shapes and what not like that.
Quite a fun program...
And when I get this game I am stocking up on coffee and crack and sitting at the computer for 24 hours straight.
Then a 2 hour nap.
Then 24 hours more.
Actually, igsnay on the apsnay
Ha, nah, I have protein shakes after I work out, which is only 2 times a week, and lately not even.
It's all genetic.
And seriously I WANT DIABLO.
27 minutes!
I think its awesome that the Azazel story from Enoch and the Nephalem in diablo coincide.
Just saying if so then Diablo lore probably keeps following that, and earth downfalls more blabblah, then this huge battle.
Wooshaa
Its kind of neat I think, and I'm completely and utterly non-religious.
i have no religion but my own thoughts.
Very likely I would say, if there is war between Heaven and Hell and Sanctuary, then Nephalem would be square in the middle having to choose who to fight for or to start there own army?

from a site.
very intriguing...
considering the fallen angels.
they cause earth to start to have a downfall...
Nephalem is offspring between humans and gods.
That may play a role in Diablo 3 definitely.
Because it is a war between hell and heaven, now there may be Nephalem, as the Ancients are spirits of the "giants" which can also be nephalem, but they could also be children of human and god.
That is from genesis so yah...
So they wanted to go re-conquer it.
They HATE sanctuary and people, that is what the battle is over.
Heaven wants people to survive, hell does not.
Makes as much sense if not more than anything else.
and Blizzard would keep it simple like that.
It would be just a floating crystal [soulston] to normal people.
But all us nerds and fanboys would be like.
OMG IM SHITTING MY PANTS NOW.
I see a red glowing soulstone in there!
not one piece, if the middle is exploding then yes the other parts would be melting from the heat... The middle is moving inward towards us.
As if being broken in from the side we can't see....
By something?
Maybe secretly he is an angel or something crazy?
he was friends with Tyreal, he might have eternal life or something?
That would be uber badass.
The chunks are just floating there , that is not from melting lol.!
Correct?
So they must be on the same team in the next game.
Probably both helping the character we play.
And seriously now i'm wondering.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH CAIN AND WHAT WILL HIS ROLE BE IN D3?
