Lore

Cain's Old Journal, Part 1

I can no longer deny the true nature of the evil that rises from the depths of the cathedral. It is almost too horrible to admit the truth of it. It is the dark Lord of Terror, Diablo himself, who plagues us.

Deckard Cain

Cain's Old Journal, Part 2

The vile staff of Lazarus was brought to me today, confirming my suspicions. There is no longer any doubt that Lazarus kidnapped Albrecht and perhaps even freed Diablo from his ancient prison. Who knows what further treachery he has planned?

Gillian's Diary, Part 1

Ogden and his wife have offered to let me and grandmother continue to stay with them. I think we will, now that the troubles are over.

I am still tormented by horrific nightmares. I keep hoping they will fade, but they seem to be getting stronger.

Gillian

Gillian's Diary, Part 2

To think I was once afraid of Adria. She is going to take me to Caldeum with her soon. Caldeum! I never thought to see it with my own eyes...

Though it saddens me to leave Ogden and his wife, Adria assures me that she will find a cure for my nightmares.

Despina's Journal

Praise the powers that be! Griswold, bless his dear heart, risked everything to bring that dear boy home from the cathedral. Though he is troubled and moody now, I am certain it will pass and he will once again be the sweet Wirt we all love.

Despina

Old Tristram Journal

The rumors of torture and worse grow every day. What has happened to Tristram and its king? I once thought Leoric a great man, but it seems I was deceived. We all were.

He sends our meager army against Westmarch on the morrow. What will become of us?

Despina

Lost Journal

I had heard the rumors, but I thought them just fancies of bored women. Until I saw them dragging people through the streets today.

Our own citizens! Has the world gone mad?!

Tristram Male

Old Diary

There is chaos everywhere, and word in town is that Lachdanan killed the king!

If only this is true, perhaps our days and nights of living in terror are behind us now.
