| − | Years after the last of the [[Horadrim]] had died, a great and prosperous society grew in the lands of the West. As time wore on, many Eastern pilgrims settled in the lands surrounding [[Khanduras]] and soon established small, self contained kingdoms. A few of these kingdoms bickered with [[Khanduras]] over holdings of property or routes of trade. These squabbles did little to upset the lasting peace of the West, and the great Northern kingdom of [[Westmarch]] proved to be a strong ally of [[Khanduras]] as the two lands steadily engaged in ventures of barter and commerce.

| − | During this time, a bold, new religion of the Light known as [[Zakarum]] began to spread throughout the kingdom of [[Westmarch]] and into many of its northern principalities. [[Zakarum]], founded in the Far East, implored followers to enter into the Light and forsake the darkness that lurked within their souls. The people of [[Westmarch]] adopted the statutes of [[Zakarum]] as their sacred mission in the world. [[Westmarch]] began to turn towards its neighbors, expecting them to embrace this New Beginning as well. Tensions rose between the kingdoms of [[Westmarch]] and [[Khanduras]] as the priests of [[Zakarum]] began to preach their foreign dogma whether they were welcomed or not.

| − | It was then that the great northern lord [[Leoric]] came unto the lands of [[Khanduras]] and, in the name of [[Zakarum]], declared himself King. [[Leoric]] was a deeply religious man and had brought many Knights and Priests with him that comprised his Order of the Light. [[Leoric]] and his trusted advisor, the Arch Bishop [[Lazarus]], made their way to the city of [[Tristram]]. [[Leoric]] appropriated the ancient, decrepit Monastery on the outskirts of the town for his seat of power and renovated it to match its time-lost glory. Although the free people of [[Khanduras]] were not pleased with being placed under the sudden rule of a foreign King, [[Leoric]] served them with justice and might. Eventually, the people of [[Khanduras]] grew to respect the kind [[Leoric]], sensing that he sought only to guide and protect them against the oppression of Darkness.

Latest revision as of 12:03, 21 October 2008
The Lands of Khanduras 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 Lands of Khanduras 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.
If you have any further questions on this, check the Help section or feel free to contact Leord. Any inquiries are welcome.
