Tal Rasha and his men chased Baal for months from the lands of Kehjistan. Tal Rasha presumed Baal was heading north toward Scosglen, but mysteriously the demon changed its path and took refuge within the desert city of Lut Gholein.<br><br>
Tal Rasha ordered his team to hold the attack and to patiently await for Baal to continue his escape. Three days later, Baal fled Lut Gholein heading to the north, as Tal Rasha had predicted.<br><br>
A few miles into the desert, the adventurers caught up with Baal and attacked him. The demon unleashed the fury of his powers upon the men. The earth exploded under them and swallowed many men. Fire errupted from the broken earth burning everything and everyone on its path.<br><br>
In a desperate attempt, Baal hurled a spell at Tal Rasha unsuccessfully. Unharmed, but at a price, Tal Rasha rose from the earth to find the soulstone Tyrael had given him, shattered into small shards.<br><br>
The men pressed their attack and defeated Baal. Tal Rasha walked toward Baal's battered body and slashed his throat jamming the largest soulstone shard into his open wound. Baal's spirit was sucked into the shard, trapping the demon.<br><br>
Archangel Tyrael appeared before the men and led them toward seven ancient tombs deep in the desert. There the men were instructed to build a binding stone etched with runes of containment. They magically crafted unbreakable chains to secure the binding stone to the chamber's walls. Tal Rasha ordered to be chained and bound to the stone. To everyone's astonishment, Tyrael jammed the shattered soulstone into Tal Rasha's chest, allowing Baal's spirit to flood into his body as host. Forever chained in an eternal fight with the demon's spirit.
