==What is Canon?==
The [[D3 TEam]] has disowned plot and world events from some of the early Diablo products, and done fairly extensive [[retcon]]ing to even the plot developments of the earlier games themselves. This was necessary since the world story, as presented in Diablo I (and to a lesser extent in Diablo II) was largely invented as the game was being made. The creators didn't give a lot of thought to the larger world fiction, carried over a lot of real world material (the [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-iii-should-have-pentagrams/ heavy Christian influence ] on Sanctuary's art and decoration), and didn't plan out the story very far ahead.
This drove the fiction into some dead ends, which had to be expanded upon greatly in the Sin War novel trilogy, and created some issues for the further expansion of the world story and plot in Diablo III and its planned sequels and external story properties. (More Diablo novels are planned, and likely other forms of media as seen in the Starcraft and Warcraft univeses; comics, manga, trading card games, and more?)
