This video by Rhykker is the first in a series exploring major characters in Diablo's lore, starting from the very beginning of creation with Anu, the first being, and his evil counterpart, Tathamet. Their battle and subsequent deaths led to the creation of the universe, angels, and demons. The video discusses the eternal conflict between angels and demons over the Worldstone, which can shape reality. It also introduces Sanctuary, a world created by rogue angels and demons as a refuge from this conflict, where humans eventually emerged from the interbreeding of angels and demons known as Nephilim. The video promises to answer more questions about these topics in future installments.
