You should realize by now that there never were any happy endings in Diablo, only temporary reprieve. Sanctuary is doomed to face an eternity of hell and nightmares. If you’ve been paying attention to the storyline in Diablo, you will agree with me.

The first game ended with the hero shoving Diablo’s soulstone into his head with a scream. No one knew what would be his fate until years later when the second game revealed that the mighty hero was easily corrupted by Diablo, merely days after his victory over the Lord of Terror.

Diablo 2 ended with a sense of urgency as well, with the reluctant destruction of the Worldstone by the Archangel Tyrael. We won’t know the full consequences of Tyrael’s action, but we can safely assume that Sanctuary can now be freely accessed by forces from High Heaven and the legions from Hell. After all, one of the functions of the Worldstone was to hide Sanctuary from them. Unfortunately, it didn’t do its job quite as well as what the former Archangel Inarius hoped.

While Diablo 3 is still far from release, it is already made known that the heroes of Diablo 2 met ill fates as well. They all went mad. This time, however, the heroes won a greater victory compared to the first hero. They had bought 20 years of peace from the Prime Evils.

We can safely assume that Diablo 3 will end in a similar manner. The third generation of heroes would fight against the Prime Evils once more, and assuming they end up victorious, will not live long to enjoy the fruits of their hardwork. And the peace, as always, will merely be temporary…
