During the events depicted in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, [[Baal]] invaded the Barbarian lands and made his way through [[Arreat Mountain]], up to the [[Worldstone]]. The human heroes defeated him there, but as his presence had already corrupted the Worldstone (according to [[Tyrael]]), the Archangel had to destroy it. The Worldstone's destruction blasted apart Arreat Mountain, reducing it to Arreat Crater and destroying the remnants of Baal's armies, which were laying siege to the Barbarian cities of the North.
[[File:Mon-crater-assault-troop1.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Early cinematic view.]]That is the known history of events in Diablo II, and it sets up the state of affairs in Diablo III, twenty years later. In D3 we know that the story will take players to the Barbarian lands in Act Three, where they must stand off a siege upon the stronghold of [[Bastion's Keep]], by an invading force of demons from the [[Burning Hells]].
