==Trag'Oul==
WoW, massively nice update on the [[Trag'Oul]] article! I am in awe! =D Really cool! I guess you love the Diablo lore as much as me then? Is this your first edit in a wiki? (check [[Help:Talk]] if unsure how to use a talk page) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:21, 19 December 2008 (CET)

:WoW, thanks! What a compliment! I do love lore. I love reading about, learning of and discussing lore but most of all I love writing about it...(practically all my forum posts are in the lore category :) It was my first post in a wiki and to be honest it was a little intimidating. But I enjoyed the flavour and will probably be back for more :) I have a Nephalem piece just itching to get set loose on the Diii community...Thanks again for the compliment and good luck with your articles!--[[User:ZSiegfried|ZSiegfried]] 19 December 2008

:: Great! That would be awesome! I have unfortunately not read the books, just synopsi of it, so I can't write it myself, and it's such an essential part of Diablo lore. If you have the time, perhaps you could help me expand on the [[Sin War Trilogy]] as well at a later date.. Well, Nephalem would be better for now ofc. I'm really glad I found another lore enthusiast on the boards! =D I have also planned to expand on the [[mage-clan]]s such as the [[Vizjerei]] and important characters such as [[Horazon]] etc. A lot of this can be tied back to the [[Wizard]] backstory as well.

:: Oh, I'm excited! =D Tell me if there is anything I can do for you, like a navigation system (as found on the classes), or an infobox (as found on the [[Goatman]]).

:: How did you find DiabloWiki btw? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 11:04, 22 December 2008 (CET)

::: Well I would definitely want to be part of the Sin War wiki. I just need to find out where you are headed and how deep do you want to go, as in roughly how many words per book etc. Probably in depth character summary... Sorry for taking so long to reply, holidays... what more can I say :) I am glad you are exited! The feeling is mutual! Great work on the wiki so far by the way.

::: I found out about the wiki on Diii, I hang out there way too often :) --[[User:ZSiegfried|ZSiegfried]] 28 December 2008

:::: Awesome! Well, for the articles on the actual books, it would be good with a brief syopsis. Unsure on how many words, but about one or two browser scrolls on a 19" monitor. And under that it would be good to have stuff like publish date and all that stuff. You can probably leave that to someone else if you rather be writing (some people are VERY self conscious about their writing, so it's better to leave things like stats, so everyone can pull their weight ;) ), but a list of important facts would be good as well, such as:
::::* 1-line intro, like all wiki pages.
::::* Synopsis
::::* Appearing Characters
::::** Notable Characters
::::** Other Characters
::::* Transpiring Events
::::** Major Events
::::** Other Events
::::* Publishing Facts
::::Use those as headers, basically. We need one article per book, and then we just use the current article as a summary article, with very brief info, and links to the three. I'll start on a Novel navigation box when we got at least 3 books somewhat done. Also, whenever you're mostly one with one, we'll feature it on the front of Diii.net! =D

:::: Characters will need very much in-depth info, but they get their own articles. I'll help you structure that later, so just make an article, put the character into [[:Category:Character]] and add 1-2 lines of text and a <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> tag at the bottom. We'll re-visit them when the books are done. When it's this much work to be done, it's good to organize it! ;)

:::: I'll have significantly more time on my hands for the wiki in about a week from now, but I might pop in to reply to messages like this before then. See you later, and hope you had a great Christmas and New Years eve! --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 15:48, 1 January 2009 (CET)

==Teeth==
The [[Teeth of Diablo]] was quite excellent, mate! =) Got anything else up your sleeve? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 17:11, 16 February 2009 (CET)

: Thanks you so much for the compliment! You thank us on the Diii site, but no one ever thanks you. Without you this site would be nothing like it is today. Kudos! Unfortunately I have board exams mid march (kind of like bar exams for lawyers) so until they are over, I pretty much have studying up my sleeve, but after then I will have magic up my sleeve :) ... Thanks again Leord... --[[User:ZSiegfried|ZSiegfried]] 2 March 2009

[[Image:Mon-activated-vessel-con.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Activated Vessel concept art, showing "[[Teeth of Diablo]]".]][[Image:Blood_guard.jpg|thumb|150px|Artwork showing Blood Guard with "[[Teeth of Diablo]]" studded hammer.]]These metal spikes are seen in two pieces of artwork released by Blizzard. Not much info is available but the assumption can be made that these spikes, which are infused with symbols, may be the source of some power.

One illustration contains a Triune Leader Blood Guard, with a studded hammer that contains Teeth of Diablo to make it more... well... pretty? Maybe it does more damage due to the teeth. Maybe it is the teeth that allows the Blood Guard to go into a berserker state. We just don't know yet.

The only reference in literature to spikes that may refer to the Teeth of Diablo can be found in the [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir]], more specifically the entry regarding the [[Dark Cultist]]s. While reading the entry you get a feeling that the entry and the illustration of an [[Activated Vessel]] are linked. In the entry they talk about spikes being driven into some complacent victims’ back, which is clearly the case in the illustration.

But this is all just speculation, we just don't know enough to really be able to say anything with any degree of confidence. Only time and Blizzard can tell and my money is on time.

Trag'Oul

2008-12-17T18:52:50Z

ZSiegfried:

'''Trag'Oul''' is the only dragon that has as such been introduced in the Diablo Universe and completely consists out of stars that represent the lives of all humanity. Every star like scale depicts the lives of every human as it flows down the body of the magnificent beast intertwining with the lives of others. If you are permitted to gaze upon Trag’Oul you will be able discern not only the past and present of individuals but also the possibilities of their future. But these futures are determined by choices that have not been made yet and should not be made without the assistance of life and the passing of time. Quote from Sin War where Mendeln first laid eyes on Trag’Oul, in Book II, Scales of the Serpent : ”We are all there, Mendeln realized. All of humanity, from the first on…each scale is a measure of some part of us…”

It is a common misconception that Trag’Oul was created with Sanctuary. For one of the many meanings of the name Trag’Oul is The One Who is Forever. Trag’Oul came into existence just after the beginning of creation, but not in the same form he is now. The form he currently occupies is the one he obtained when Sanctuary was created. Another quote from Scales of the Serpent : “He has existed since just after the beginning of creation, although not quite as we sense him now.” “No…that came later… whenever the dragon spoke, the scales flowed and shifted, constantly displaying other lives, other times. That came with the finding of the Shards…With the moulding of Sanctuary by the renegade angels and demons…”

Tran’oul is the manifestation of the Balance and had been charged with the duty to keep it in place. Along with Ratma and all his followers they keep this delicate balance so as to ensure the longevity of all things. Siding with neither force but always on the ready to realign everything if the scales have tilted in the favour of any side.

::''For lore fans who read the [[Diablo: The Sin War]] trilogy, it seems [[Pardo]] slipped acknowledgement that there are other worlds out there. Trag’Oul was halted from helping the inhabitants of [[Sanctuary]] by other guardians such as himself who were watching over other worlds. They warned Trag’Oul the fate of Sanctuary would affect or benefit the fate of other worlds. So if you thought this was a [[Heaven]] vs [[Hell]] conflict with Sanctuary in the middle of the sandwich, you are wrong. There are more worlds than meet the eye.''
