===Hunting the Three===
[[Image:Horadrim_Sigil.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The sigil of the Horadrim.]]
Together, the disparate mage clans that formed the Horadrim proved to be a formidable force. The brotherhood easily captured [[Mephisto]], the Lord of Hatred, in [[Kehjistan]] and imprisoned him beneath the [[Temple of Light]] in [[Kurast]].
[[Image:Horadrim_Sigil.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The sigil of the Horadrim.Diablo]]The brotherhood defeated and captured [[MephistoBaal]]escaped Kehjistan, and ventured West across the Lord of Hatred, in sea to [[Aranoch]]. Led by [[KehjistanTal Rasha]] and imprisoned him beneath , the Horadrim pursed [[Temple of LightBaal]] in to the city of [[KurastLut Gholein]], where the Lord of Destruction took refuge for three days. The then peaceful Baal eventually emerged from Lut Gholein, and headed north into the Aranoch desert toward [[ZakarumScosglen]] monks would then protect . The Horadrim quickly descended upon him and a great battle ensued. Baal was overwhelmed by the determined magi, but in a last-ditch effort to destroy Tal Rasha, he succeeded in shattering the Soulstonesoulstone that was meant to serve as his prison.
While the Horadrim managed to subdue the Lord of Destruction, the shattered pieces of the soulstone were not able to contain the demon. They realized that a mortal vessel was needed in conjunction to bind Baal. [[Tal Rasha]] selflessly volunteered to serve as that vessel and wrestle with the demon for all eternity.
Despite capturing Baal, Diablo managed to escape. For the next nine years, [[DiabloJered Cain]] and [[Baal]] escaped Kehjistanthe remaining Horadrim followed Diablo's wake of terror. In 1019, the Horadrim caught up to Diablo and a great battle unfolded that claimed the lives of many members of the brotherhood. Nevertheless, they were triumphant and the Lord of Terror was finally captured and went West over imprisoned within the last of the soulstones. The Horadrim carried the sea cursed soulstone to [[Aranoch]]. [[Baal]] took refuge inside the city land of [[Lut GholeinKhanduras]] for three days and then travelled North into , where they buried it within a secluded cave near the river Talsande. Above the Aranoch desert cave, they built a short distance, but was found by monastery from which they continued to guard the Horadrim, who attacked himsoulstone. Baal's greatest achievement here Around this monastery was that he managed to shatter founded the Soulstone meant to imprison himtown of [[Tristram]].
===Fate of the Horadrim===
With the threat seemingly gone, and no great quest to drive them, the Horadrim's numbers dwindled. The order eventually faded into history. The last known descendant of the Horadric brotherhood is [[Deckard Cain]], the great grandson of Jered Cain, a mere scholar with no experience in magic or battle.

During the segment that this was shown, [[Leonard Boyarsky]] described the [[Dark Exile]] and the role the [[Horadrim]] played in hunting down the [[Prime Evils]] and their minions. The image seems to depict a Horadric mage leading chained demons. The demon to the right appears to have been blasted by magical energy (perhaps for not keeping withdrawn like his companion).]]
*'''Chief Librarian of the Horadrim[[Acolyte]]''' is seems to have been a pretty self-explanatory titlelower rank than Initiate, that might be parallel to "Accolyte" though what characteristics or "privileges distinguished this rank from Initiate"are largely unknown.
==Known TraditionTraditions==
The Horadrim used to mummify their highest mages, and infuse them with spells that would allow them to protect their tombs, even after death,[http://www.diablowiki.net/Deckard_Cain_dialogue] possibly using magic from the [[Priests of Rathma]].
