Series Four

This series HK had originally planned to have a theme about traveling around Sanctuary. But at the last moment he remade the nameplate and took out any theme to this series so he could just start fresh. With this series he also dimmed the runes down to a red and crimson. He also had revamped the nameplate to be small and compact again. He called this nameplate Baal 2. Also another change for this series was the 5 new runes in the rune-circle from Diablo III. HK had debated whether or not to change the standard circle that had been around for so many years. But in the end he did and thought it fit well.
