These novels are all considered canon, though ''Demonsbane'' and ''Legacy of Blood'' tell smaller, self-contained stories that do not have much to do with or further the larger game plot.

The Sin War novels developed the early lore and story of the Diablo universe and were written to tie into the ongoing story, as it will be developed in Diablo III. They were a collaboration between [[Chris Metzen]] and their author, [[Richard Knaak]].[http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/diablo_the_sin_war_trilogy___public_qa_with_richard_a_knaak]
