 ==Background==
 Around 1004, the Horadrim was formed from the major [[mage clan]]s in the East by [[Tyrael]] to defeat [[the Three]] who were wreaking havoc in the mortal realm. The Horadrim received three [[Soulstone]]s from Tyrael, which would serve as devices for the imprisonment of the Prime Evils.
 ===Hunting the Three===

 [[Diablo]] and [[Baal]] escaped Kehjistan, and ventured West across the sea to [[Aranoch]]. Led by [[Tal Rasha]], the Horadrim pursed [[Baal]] to the city of [[Lut Gholein]], where the Lord of Destruction took refuge for three days.  Baal eventually emerged from Lut Gholein, and headed north into the Aranoch desert toward [[Scosglen]].  The Horadrim quickly descended upon him and a great battle ensued.  Baal was overwhelmed by the determined magi, but in a last-ditch effort to destroy Tal Rasha, he succeeded in shattering the soulstone that was meant to serve as his prison.
-While the Horadrim managed to subdue the Lord of Destruction, the shattered pieces of the soulstone were not able to contain the demon.  They realized that a mortal vessel was needed in conjunction to bind Baal.  [[Tal Rasha]] selflessly volunteered to serve as that vessel and wrestle with the demon for all eternity.
+While the Horadrim managed to subdue the Lord of Destruction, the shattered pieces of the soulstone were not able to contain the demon.  They realized that a mortal vessel was needed in conjunction to bind Baal; the Ennead mage Zoltun Kulle hypothesized that a mortal heart could serve as a surrogate soulstone. It was [[Tal Rasha]] who selflessly volunteered to serve as that vessel and wrestle with the demon for all eternity.
 Despite capturing Baal, Diablo managed to escape.  For the next nine years, [[Jered Cain]] and the remaining Horadrim followed Diablo's wake of terror.  In 1019, the Horadrim caught up to Diablo and a great battle unfolded that claimed the lives of many members of the brotherhood.  Nevertheless, they were triumphant and the Lord of Terror was finally captured and imprisoned within the last of the soulstones.  The Horadrim carried the cursed soulstone to the land of [[Khanduras]], where they buried it within a secluded cave near the river Talsande.  Above the cave, they built a monastery from which they continued to guard the soulstone.  Around this monastery was founded the town of [[Tristram]].
