Deckard Cain's Journal explains a lot of the events that took place in the Diablo games up until the third instalment, and excerpts of it can be found here. Some of the graphics used for his handwriting is a little bit unclear, and you should look at the Sanctuary Calendar for further help. You can also find interesting findings in the timeline.
1265 Anno Khejistani
15th day of Jeshasan
The events of the past year are unbelievable, and have driven me to write again my thoughts. No matter how hard I try, the facts are unavoidable: our King Leoric has gone mad, lashing out in crazed frenzy at the abduction of his son, Albrecht, and our steady losses in the ill-advised war against Westmarch, leading to an open revolt among our guards. There is something almost palpable in the air. It feels like...terror.
