Reaper of Souls is (apparently) the title of the first Diablo 3 Expansion pack. The name was revealed by Blizzard on August 13, 2013, via a teaser image posted on their Diablo 3 website. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/reaper-of-souls-diablo-3-expansion-revealed Reaper of Souls name revealed]Blizzard Entertainment, 14/08/13</ref>
The page was not linked from the main page and was not promoted via their twitter or facebook feeds for several days after it went live, leaving fans and media free to speculate and publicize it virally.
Further information about Reaper of Souls is expected at the 2013 Gamescom convention August 21-25, where Blizzard has scheduled a press conference for the first day.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-expansion-announcement-hinted-for-gamescomAnnouncement hinted for Gamescom]- IncGamers, 27/07/13</ref>
As seen during Act 4 of Diablo 3, Imperius fought Diablo as the Prime Evil and was defeated and badly wounded, but not killed. After that setback Imperius led the angels in unsuccessful defending the High Heavens against the forces of the Burning Hells, and was overtly hostile to the [[Nephalem]] hero (your character), seeming on the verge of attacking before falling unconscious once Diablo reached the summit of the Silver Spire.
While the other Archangels are seen in the epilogue after the hero defeats Diablo the Prime Evil, nothing is known of Imperius' disposition, but from his behavior during Act 4 it doesn't seem likely that he's happy. The above quotation from the Book of Cain surely refers to Imperius with the line, "Valor shall turn to Wrath" and many fans are speculating that he will not rejoin the Heavens but will instead become an enemy of humanity, or perhaps even a corrupted monster, like [[Izual]] before him.
On the official Diablo 3 [http://d.163.com/ Chinese service provider] (B.net equivalent) site in the run up to [[Gamescom 2013]] a splash image appeared at the top of their site that changed daily, until on the seventh image angels began to appear together with the [[Black Soulstone]].
