'''Know It All''' is an achievement obtainable in [[Act 4]]. It involves the collection of People Lore items.

==Entries==

===Burial Wishes===
Location: [[Bastion's Keep Stronghold]] Load up the Fall of the High Heavens quest from Act 4 and port to town. Run towards the main gate, it will be on a corpse of a woman named Martha

Quest: [[Fall of the High Heavens]]

''"If you are reading this, my husband and I are both gone. We would like to be buried side by side, preferably in a sunny spot. Oh, and please don't bury my husband's sword with us. He won't need it anymore.
-Marta"''

===The Angiris Council===
Location: [[Gardens of Hope]] 1st Tier, along the required path for the quest [[The Light of Hope]]

Quest: [[The Light of Hope]]

''"The Angiris Council is comprised of the five archangels who hold dominion over the High Heavens. They determine the laws by which all angels must abide. Each of them embodies a pure aspect of creation: valor, justice, hope, fate, and wisdom.
-Selathiel, Angiris Scribe"''

===Archangel Auriel, the Aspect of Hope===
Location: [[Gardens of Hope]] 2nd Tier, in the middle bottom region

Quest: Any Quest

''"It is through the archangel Auriel that the power of hope flows into the fabric of creation. Her eternal light illuminates even the darkest souls. With Malthael's departure, it falls to Auriel to hold the Angiris Council together. Should her light ever fade, all Heaven would fall to despair.
-Selathiel, Angiris Scribe"''

===Archangel Imperius, the Aspect of Valor===
Location: [[Hell Rift]] It is on a pierced angel near the entrance

Quest: [[The Light of Hope]]

''"Imperius, the archangel of Valor, is the greatest warrior in all of creation. He revels in war and combat and has led the hosts of Heaven to innumerable victories. With Malthael's absence, it is Imperius who now rules over the Angiris Council, seeking always to defend the High Heavens from any foe.
-Selathiel, Angiris Scribe"''

===Archangel Itherael, the Aspect of Fate===
Location: [[Gardens of Hope]] 1st Tier, on an Angiris Repository

Quest: Any Quest

''"Knowledge of the future grants power over the present. For this reason, Itherael, the archangel of Fate, is a vital member of the Council. He alone possesses the ability to decipher the threads of destiny woven in the celestial Scroll of Fate. His boundless sight grants him perspective others cannot fully comprehend.
-Selathiel, Angiris Scribe"''

===Archangel Malthael, the Aspect of Wisdom===
Location: [[Hell Rift]] (I found this in the Hell Rift in the Gardens of Heaven Tier 2, however it may spawn it other areas depending on what you've already found)

Quest: [[The Light of Hope]]

''"Much uncertainty surrounds the archangel Malthael. Once the calm guiding hand of wisdom, he was lost to us the moment the Worldstone disappeared. Unable to fathom that catastrophic event, he abounded Heaven. His departure created a colossal fracture within the Council--one that to this day, remains unrepaired.
-Selathiel, Angiris Scribe"''

===Archangel Tyrael, the Aspect of Justice===
Location: [[Gardens of Hope]] 2nd Tier, on an archival studies right outside the portal

Quest: [[Beneath the Spire]]

''"Tyrael, the archangel of Justice, is a being of balance and integrity. His compassion for mankind has comprised his standing within the Angiris Council. He alone recognizes the nephalem's capacity to transcend their divided heritage and become the true champions of creation.
-Selathiel, Angiris Scribe"''

===Izual's Descent===
Location: [[The Great Span]] This is automatically given once Izual is defeated in the quest [[The Prime Evil]]

Quest: [[The Prime Evil]]

''"The angel Izual was once Tyrael's lieutenant, but he was captured by the enemy after an ill-advised assault upon the Hellforge. Izual surrendered to demonic corruption and revealed the secrets of the soulstones to the Prime Evils. Tyrael claimed that Izual was slain years ago, but his replacement has never emerged from the Crystal Arch...

Flintb:

'''A Quick Study''' is an achievement obtainable in [[Act 1]]. It involves the collection of People Lore items.

==Entries==

===Adria's Journal===
Location: Automatic

Quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]], Explore Cellar

''"Aidan came to me last night. I suspected what was lurking within his troubled heart. I consoled him as best I could. Regardless, wherever he's headed, Hell will surely follow in his wake.''

''The shadows close in on Tristram once again. But, like Aidan, I'll be gone before they fall."''

===Lachdanan's Scroll, Part 1===
Location: [[Cathedral]], in a scribe's lectern

Quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]]

''"My name is Lachdanan, and I am cursed. Once the captain of King Leoric's army, I lived only to honor my land and my king. No man has a greater love for his king than I had for mine, even as I drove my blade through his dark and corrupted heart."''

===Lachdanan's Scroll, Part 2===
Location: [[Cathedral]], in a scribe's lectern

Quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]]

''"It was Lazarus - of that I am certain. He alone had the king's ear and whispered dark and evil magics into it, instilling the notion of an imminent attack by Westmarch. Afraid to speak against the archbishop, the councilors nodded their empty heads in agreement and sent us off to die."''

===Lachdanan's Scroll, Part 3===
Location: [[Cathedral]], in a scribe's lectern

Quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]]

''"When we returned from our horrific defeat in Westmarch, my beloved king lost all pretense of sanity. He seethed with rage, spitting curses upon us as traitors. With great sorrow, I ran him through."''

===Lachdanan's Scroll, Part 4===
Location: [[Cathedral]], in a scribe's lectern

Quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]]

''"I will forever live in anguish for my last attempt to honor my king. As we lay him to rest in his burial chamber, he manifested as a hideous skeletal demon. Gorash and my other knights were overcome at once, but I fought on."''

===Lachdanan's Scroll, Part 5===
Location: [[Cathedral]], in a scribe's lectern

Quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]]

''"And now I wander, cursed by my once-beloved king. Evil gnaws at my bones, and I cannot risk putting my beloved Tristram in danger should I fail to contain that which tears at me. I must venture down into the labyrinth to die alone."''

===Leah's Journal, Part 1===
Location: Leah's Room, in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]

Quest: [[The Fallen Star]]

''"We've been under siege for six days now. Uncle Deckard is still missing. Captain Rumford and the others are losing hope. I tell them not to lose faith... but if help doesn't arrive soon..."''

===Leah's Journal, Part 2===
Location: Leah's Room, in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]

Quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]], before entering the [[Cathedral]].

''"A miracle has happened! A hero, like one out of Uncle Deckard's tales, appeared and saved us! I know in my heart that my uncle still lives and I pray that the hero will bring him home safely."''

===Leah's Journal, Part 3===
Location: Leah's Room, in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]

Quest: [[A Shattered Crown]]

''"Uncle Deckard's home--rescued from the clutches of the Skeleton King! I'm so glad. But the Skeleton King? I thought he was a folktale. The idea of mad King Leoric returning to torture this place... Hasn't Tristram suffered enough?"''

===Leah's Journal, Part 4===
Location: Leah's Room, in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]

Quest: [[Sword of the Stranger]]

''"I can hardly believe it, but the falling star... is a man! When Uncle Deckard realized this, he was crushed. I know he was hoping for something more... miraculous."''

===Leah's Journal, Part 5===
Location: Leah's Room, in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]

Quest: [[The Broken Blade]]

''"Uncle Deckard believes the key to unlocking the Stranger's memory is reassembling his sword. I wish I could say this was another of Uncle's crazy theories, but I can't deny that these ominous events are starting to really scare me."''

===Leah's Journal, Part 6===
Location: Leah's Room, in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]

Quest: The Doom in Wortham

''"When we retrieved the Stranger's second sword piece, Maghda found us. She's always on our heels. Who is she? She claims to know my mother, but how could that be? Regardless, we must beat her to Wortham and the final piece of the sword. - Leah"''

===Leah's Journal, Part 7===
Location: Leah's Room, in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]

Quest: [[Trailing the Coven]]

''"Uncle Deckard is gone forever. I remember the wonderful times we had together, always off on another crazy quest. What will I do without him? He believed the Stranger was an angel, but he is only a man. I always knew they were just stories. Uncle Deckard died for those stories."''

===Leoric's Journal, Part 1===
Location: Pedestals in the [[Royal Crypts]]

Quest: [[Reign of the Black King]]

''"We have just arrived in Tristram, and I must say I'm a bit dismayed. This place is a backwater filled with serfs and an ancient, broken-down monastery, hardly fit for the king of Khanduras! I cannot fathom why Lazarus was so intent on this becoming our new seat of power."''

===Leoric's Journal, Part 2===
Location: Pedestals in the [[Royal Crypts]] or in [[Leoric's Manor]]

Quest: [[Reign of the Black King]]

''"A fetid, pallid malaise has fallen over the manor we now call home. Young Albrecht seems to be enjoying himself in our new home, however. Perhaps I am simply suffering from an imbalance of humors brought on by the recent change of clime."''

===Leoric's Journal, Part 3===
Location: Pedestals in the [[Royal Crypts]] or in [[Halls of Agony]]

Quest: [[Reign of the Black King]]

''"I am convinced that some malevolent being is attempting to wrest control of my thoughts away from me. Voices direct me to horrendous acts, and there are times when I seem unable to control my body. Lazarus knowns; this is certain. He looks at me strangely when he thinks me otherwise disposed."''

===Leoric's Journal, Part 4===
Location: Pedestals in the [[Royal Crypts]] or in [[Halls of Agony]]

Quest: [[Reign of the Black King]]

''"Though my council begs me to reconsider, I will continue with the executions of those I find guilty of plotting against the kingdom. Perhaps they fear my eye will fall on them and discover their heinous, treasonous plans as well. Lazarus is the only one I can still trust"''

===Leoric's Journal, Part 5===
Location: Pedestals in the [[Royal Crypts]]

Quest: [[Reign of the Black King]]

''"I have finally rid myself of the dark influence seeking to subdue me, and now I see things as they truly are. This conspiracy among the insolent townsfolk to weaken me by stealing Albrecht away will not stand! Perhaps the heads of their women and children on pikes will bring them clarity..."''

===Farmer's Journal===
Location: [[Fields of Misery]] Shares spawn with the sheltered cottage, so just keep visiting the top of the map and it will spawn eventually.

Quest: Any Quest

''"I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about. Few farmers turn up dead, and everyone goes running for the hills. I've lived off these lands for twenty years, and I have not seen any bloodthirsty monsters running about. No reason I should leave a perfectly good harvest. Misguided Farmer"''

===Scabbard of Talic the Defender===
Location: Watch Tower Level 2

Quest: The Scavenged Scabbard, Talk to Vendel the Armorsmith if he is there.

===Deckard Cain's Journal, Part 1===
Location: Cain's House, [[New Tristram]]

Quest: [[The Fallen Star]], after talking to Leah the first time.

''"We have come at last to Tristram's old cathedral. This is where Diablo, Lord of Terror, first corrupted mankind. This is where I may finally find the answers I seek. Leah worries after my safety, but I believe information vital to defeating the last Lords of the Burning Hells can be found here."''

===Deckard Cain's Journal, Part 2===
Location: Cain's House, [[New Tristram]]

Quest: [[Sword of the Stranger]], after talking to Deckard Cain to begin quest.

''"I wish that Leah could live a different life - a more normal life - but, alas, such is not her fate. When I pass, there is none but her to continue my work, and the future of this world hangs in the balance."''

===Adenah's Jottings===
Location: Adenah's House, [[Southern Highlands]]

Quest: Unknown

''"These cowardly farmers have been leaving the fields for days now, but I'm not about to follow them. My home is here, and a few angry goatmen won't change that."''

===Hermit's Ravings===
Location: [[Caverns of Araneae]], In the Hermit's Satchel, spawns randomly in the cave.

Quest: Any Quest

''"I used to be one of them. Ordinary. Untouched. Until her voice came to me. Then I knew how I must serve. I must kill the one who threatens my mistress and the dark power that created her. I have been chosen!"''

===A Prisoner's Journal===
Location: Second level of the [[Halls of Agony]], the journal drops after freeing Merhan from an Iron Maiden (Event near the entrance to the Highlands Passage)

Quest: Any Quest

''"13th day of Lunasadh, 1263,
Anno Kehjistani,
The jailers burned runes into my flesh. They say all the torture and dark magic will turn us into demonic slaves for King Leoric. What foolish lies!
17th day of Lunasadh,
Pain is terrible...I can't think...I'm so hungrrry.
20th day of Lunasadh,
MMMmmMMMASTter I HunnGEr MASTER FeEEED ME. - A Wretched Prisoner"''

Location: [[The Cursed Hold]] As soon as you enter, turn left and enter her cell, the journal will be in her chest

Quest: [[The Imprisoned Angel]]

''"Starved of the sun, I no longer know what day it is. I can hear the Warden, my husband, and that dog Lazarus discussing my fate. My life will be over soon, yet I fear more for my poor Albrecht's future in the wake of his father's madness. If only Aidan were here. Queen Asylla"''

===Scoundrel's Journal===
Location: Unknown

Quest: Unknown

''"After much searching, I have found a promising lead. A family near New Tristram has obtained a valuable relic, and poor fools that they are, they haven't the slightest idea what to do with it! I have some idea of what to do with their daughter, though... and through her, I'll get my prize."''

===Kingsport Bill===
Location: Unknown

Quest: Unknown

''"Wanted: one relic, scarlet, roughly the size of a man's fist.''

''It was stolen two months past during a deplorable theft from the Merchants Guild Bank. Those apprehended were not in possession of the item. The relic is greatly missed by its rightful owner, who offers a reward for its safe return."''

===Skeleton King===
Location: Unknown

Quest: Unknown

''"The Zakarum high priests in Kurast proclaimed Leoric king of Khanduras many year ago. He ruled well until Diablo's influence drove him mad, and the loyal knight Lachdanan was forced to slay him. Afterward, Diablo himself raised Leoric from the dead as the Skeleton King until the monarch's son Aidan vanquished him."''

===Wandering Tinker's Diary===
Location: [[Sheltered Cottage]], [[Fields of Misery]]

Quest: The Broken Blade

''"We should have known. The farmers left over a fortnight ago, and yet we stayed. Last night, we heard the beasts creeping closer. My husband left to investigate, and I haven't seen him since...All I have left are the things we made together. Hopefully they are of more use to someone else. - Rina the Tinker"''

===Notes of Urik the Seer, Part 1===

===Notes of Urik the Seer, Part 2===
Location: [[Cave of the Moon Clan]] in [[Southern Highlands]] in Urik's Satchel.

Quest: Any Quest

''"Goatmen! All of my labors were for a bunch of rotten, stinking goatmen! Maghda claims that they will become our most valuable allies and that the task is one that she can entrust to no one but me, but I know my place. I am most bruisingly humbled."''

===Notes of Urik the Seer, Part 3===
Location: [[Cave of the Moon Clan]]

Quest: Unknown

''"Enslaving the goatmen was easier than I anticipated. My magic seemed to reignite the savagery deep within them, and they flocked to me in hordes. A few escaped--those who understood the fate of their people--but they are too weak to counter my spells. The Moon clan attacks at my command!"''

===Priest's Contemplations, Part 1===
Location: [[Wortham]], in a Priest Satchel south of ferryman

Quest: Any Quest

''"One of the men retrieved a strange artifact in his nets. It looked like a hilt of an ancient blade, but I know it must be more. The fisherman argued with me, but I convinced him to leave it in the safety of the chapel. A holy place for a holy relic. - Verrall, Priest of Wortham"''

===Priest's Contemplations, Part 2===
Location: [[Wortham]]

Quest: Unknown

''"When the church of the Zakarum sent me here, I assumed that my village would be simple and untroubled. To be honest, I was relieved. Corruption has struck down many a greater man than I, and such a quiet place could've been my salvation. But everything changed when disaster struck the Tristram Cathedral. Verrall, Priest of Wortham"''

===Mira's Letter to Haedrig===
Location: In box near Haedrig in [[New Tristram]]

Quest: Unknown

===Cain's Old Journal, Part 1===
Location: [[The Old Ruins]] inside an Old Keepsake Box.

Location: [[The Old Ruins]] inside an Old Keepsake Box after finding Cain's Old Journal, Part 1.

Quest: Any Quest

===Old Diary===
Location: [[The Old Ruins]] in an Old Keepsake's box

Quest: Any Quest

Location: [[Old Tristram Road]], in a keepsake box

Quest: [[The Fallen Star]]
