[[Image:Mon-leoric2.jpg|thumb|300px|The Madness of the Black King.]]The sad tragic tale of King Leoric's fall is told in the [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Diablo_I_Manual#Book_II_-_The_Return_of_Terror Diablo I manual], and through the quests and books of lore found in the dungeons in that game.
Leoric was the ruler of [[Khanduras]] and was a just and wise king. He established his castle in the town of Tristram, near the ancient and decayed Horadric Monastery. Deep within the monastery laid the soulstone containing Diablo's essence, and though trapped within the stone, Diablo was strong enough to send forth his spirit. The Lord of Terror invaded Leoric's dreams, attempting to corrupt and possess the King. Leoric was able to resist Diablo's presence, but he was driven mad by the ordeal.
