==Synopsis==
The story of ''Diablo II'' takes immediately after the end of ''[[Diablo I|Diablo]]'' (and also in [[Sanctuary]]), where the {{iw|Warrior Warrior}} character of the first game tried to contain [[Diablo]] within himself by plunging the [[Soulstone]] into his own head. Unfortunately, he was instead corrupted by the Lord of Terror, and became the [[Dark Wanderer]]. Despite struggling with the [[demon]] within, he spread chaos and terror wherever he went. Diablo had in fact planned this all along, luring the Warrior to his dungeon.
The player takes on the role as one of five (seven in the [[Diablo II: Lord of Destruction|expansion]]) heroes who group up in order to stop Diablo and the other [[Prime Evils]]. They start in the [[Rogue Encampment]] (which may be in [[Entsteig]] or [[Khanduras]], the lore is fuzzy), chasing after this mysterious Dark Wanderer who had summoned demons to overrun their [[Rogue Monastery|monastery]], which guarded the passage to the East.
Diablo leaves hinders for the heroes, such as the [[Lesser Evil]], [[Andariel]], in the Monastery, and heads first to the [[Anaroch]] desert to free his brother [[Baal]] near [[Lut Gholein]], and then further to the jungles of [[Kehjistan]] to free [[Mephisto]] under the city of [[Kurast]]. At every step of the way, the player not only chases Diablo, but also has to deal with demonic corruption and other obstacles in the way.
Finally, the heroes catch up with the Brothers, and kill [[Mephisto]] in [[Travincal]], ending the corruption of the [[Zakarum|Zakarum Church]], and goes through a portal to [[Burning Hells|Hell]] itself, to find Diablo.
Searching hell, and finding the [[Chaos Sanctuary]], Diablo's home, the heroes summon the demon before he has fully recovered from transforming into his real, red, self, and defeats him. The heroes are then charged with destroying the Soulstones as the Prime Evils were taught long ago how to corrupt them by the fallen [[angel]] [[Izual]].
The story continues in the expansion to the game, where the player chases the last of the Prime Evils; Baal (Lord of Destruction) who is going after the mythical [[Worldstone]] in an attempt to corrupt it.
