Warring against these Lords and denizens of the Burning Hells are the five Archangels of Anu’s aspects, which form the Angirus council. Naturally, all demons are experts in manipulation, and while they are called the lesser of the Great Evils, each one of them can be considered a calamity on their own, and command countless demons and other unholy beings to do their bidding. Belial stands at the forefront of lies and deception. Azmodan indulges in, and influences others to partake in all vices, as the master tempter. The twins serve as each other’s counterparts, with Duriel reveling in others’ physical pain, while Andariel derives pleasure from others’ mental and emotional anguish. In no particular order, the remaining Great Evils are the twins, Andariel and Duriel, Maiden of Anguish and Lord of Pain respectively, Azmodan, Lord of Sin, and Belial, Lord of Lies. With dominion over fear, Diablo is arguably the strongest of the three, as fear exists everywhere in perpetuity. The youngest Prime Evil, and the namesake of the franchise, is Diablo, Lord of Terror. He’s followed by Baal, Lord of Destruction. Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred is considered the eldest of the three, said to create schemes upon schemes with his terrifying cunning. Of the seven, the Prime Evils are considered to be the strongest of all the demons, each in charge of a realm that essentially feeds off of each other, in order to solidify their powers and cement their authority for near-eternity. The seven Great Evils are composed of three Prime Evils and four Lesser Evils. Angels that embody these aspects of the highest purity rise to become archangels. Each angel is a manifestation of an aspect that once belonged to Anu, which informed their emerging personalities accordingly. Angels are created from this arch whenever it vibrates in perfect harmony. It said that the Crystal Arch that we know today was formed from Anu’s very spine. From Anu’s body, on the other hand, came the High Heavens. Tathamet manifested as a seven-headed dragon, and so its body became the Burning Hells we know today, and each of its heads became one of the seven Great Evils, each lording over a part of their realm. The two tirelessly waged war against one another until it resulted in the demise of both parties, and it’s from their remains that the universe came into existence. This darker half manifested itself as Tathamet, the Prime Evil, and so began the eternal wrestle between good and evil. In Anu’s all-encompassing knowledge, the first being decided to strip himself of his darker half and leave only goodness within him. Anu can be seen as a complete being, encompassing both order and chaos, goodness and evil, and light and dark. In the beginning, was just Anu, the first being. It is said the first being, Anu, was the sum of all things good and evil. To understand this, it is important to understand all the events that lead up to this devastation, and so we start at the very beginning - at the creation of the world of Diablo. As such, the context of the state of the world in Diablo 4 is one that reflects the consequences and aftermath of devastation. The events of Diablo 4 transpire decades after the events of the Reaper of Souls, the story expansion for Diablo 3. Click to jump to a specific section of the page Birth of the Universe ♦
