| − | These are the true names of the lesser of the [[Great Evils]]. For ages uncounted each have ruled over their own domains within the Burning Hells,seeking absolute dominion over their infernal brethren. As the Lesser Four continuously vied for the control of those forces that dwelled within their realms,the Greater Three held absolute power over the whole of Hell. The [[Lesser Four]] used dark and evil measures in their quest for power, and herein begins the legend of the Dark Exile.

| − | These are the Prime Evils of Hell that wielded their power as a dark, sovereign triumvirate. The Three Brothers ruled over the Lesser Four by brutal force and malicious cunning. Being the eldest and strongest of the Evils, the Three Brothers were responsible for countless victories against the armies of the Light. Although they never held sway over the High Heavens for long, the Three were justly feared by enemies and subjects alike.

| − | With the ascension of Man and the subsequent standstill of the [[Great Conflict]], the Three Brothers began to devote their energies to the perversion of mortal souls. The Three realized that Man was the key to victory in the war against Heaven, and thus altered their rigid agendum that they had propagated since the Beginning. This change caused many of the Lesser Evils to question the authority of the Three, and so brought about a great rift between the Prime Evils and their servitors.

| − | In their ignorance, the Lesser Evils began to believe that the Three were afraid to continue the war with Heaven. Frustrated by the cessation of the war,[[Azmodan]] and [[Belial]] saw the situation as their chance to overthrow the PrimeEvils and take control of Hell for themselves. The two demon lords made a pact with their minor brethren, assuring them that the wretched plague of humanitywould not deter the ultimate victory of the sons of Hell. [[Azmodan]] and Belial devised a plan to end the stalemate, achieve victory in the Sin War and ultimate lyride the bloody crest of the [[Great Conflict]] straight into the very arms of Armageddon. Thus, a great revolution was set into motion as all of Hell went to war against the Three Brothers?

| − | The Brothers fought with all of the savagery of the Underworld, and to the ircredit, annihilated a third of Hell's treacherous legions. In the end, however, theywere overcome by the Horned Death led by the traitors Azmodan and Belial. The Prime Evils, weakened and bodiless, were banished to the mortal realm where Azmodan hoped that they would remain trapped forever. Azmodan believed that with the Three set loose upon humanity, the Angels would be forced to turn theirfocus upon on the mortal plane - thus leaving the Gates of Heaven abandoned and defenseless. Those few demons who still pledged allegiance to the Three Brothers fled the wrath of [[Azmodan]] and [[Belial]], escaping to the realm of Man to seek out their lost Masters.

| − | As the war fires died out upon the battlefields of Hell, [[Azmodan]] and [[Belial]] began to argue over which of them held the higher authority. The pact that they had made quickly fell to ashes as the two demon lords took up arms against each other. The legions of Hell that remained were polarized behind either warlord,launching themselves into a bloody civil war that has lasted to this day . . .

Latest revision as of 12:12, 21 October 2008
The Dark Exile article is strongly related to Diablo, but not specifically an integral part of Diablo I or Diablo II. Due to the large amount of information that is unique to Diablo I and II versus Diablo III, we have separated them into two wikis. Lore, characters, locations as well as general Diablo information is therefore represented in the main DiabloWiki, where a lot of new information has also been made available after the announcement of Diablo III.
This is such a case, and you can find the full Dark Exile article on the following DiabloWiki page:
If you were linked here by a link in Diablo2Wiki or DiabloWiki, you can help out by changing the link to a direct link pointed at the corresponding article in DiabloWiki.
