Video with some odd claims about Diablo

[Klathum]

I came across a pretty good video on youtube summing the lore before humans were created. However, I reed all Diablo books there are I am really a huge fan of it's lore and some claims in this video stroke me like a lightning I am not sure if the video is correct, if it is then there must be a book I've missed so I guess someone here could explain it to me.

First of all it says "both sides fought over the heart of creation". Now it sounds to me like it's implying that the whole war started because of the worldstone. But wasn't it discovered in the course of the war, after it started? Well maybe it's not implying, but I kinda am not sure.
Second it says "Inarius, the servant of Archangel Tyrael" Now wasn't he the brother of Tyrael? I know angels can't be born as brothers, they can be brothers in arms etc, but kinda odd for someone to be a brother and a servant at the same time. I never heard he was a servant of Tyrael, and it's also odd to have a "servant" screw them all over... So I just wanna know is this correct?
Third the video shows Rhatma in the form of some snake oO

so yeah, I guess I need an update. What happened to Dablo lore? I thought Blizzard will stay true to Diablo...
soz on bad spelling

here is the video:

It's probably going to get butchered just like SC2. Pity.

How SC2 lore got butchered? -_-" The story around Jim Raynor was told pretty well. It is even better if you read Devils' Due.

Just ignore him! I started arguing with him recantly before i realized he is one of those people who whines about everything. Save yourself time and dont dignify him with a discussion!

Well maybe you should just look at the game. For example, at the end of Brood War Raynor swears to kill Kerrigan. In SC2 all of a sudden she is a long lost love and damsel in distress of Raynor who needs saving pronto. Maybe add some sideboob. About the novel, I don't really care cause it was written to back up the SC2 nonexistant-story.
You can kick the on-topic back into overdrive.

"James Raynor, I bring tidings of doom. I have pierced the veil of the future, and beheld only oblivion. Yet one spark of hope remains. You will hold her life in your hands, and though justice demands that she die for her crimes, only she can save us." Zeratul

This is why he didn't kill her. Anyway, He still feel responsible for what happened to Kerrigan and I can't see what's wrong with that. The story still has 2 part left.

No.

Tyrael in DII:

There is a dark, tortured soul who was trapped within this forsaken realm long ago. He was called Izual by mortal men, and in ages past he was my most trusted Lieutenant.

[JackalYYC]

No.

Izual does not = Inarius.

Read the Sin War trilogy, Inarius is covered in great depth.

[marshmallow]

Izual does not = Inarius.

LOL OOPS! That's what I get for reading too fast. In that case, the only pre-Knaak reference to Inarius I know of is from the D1 manual as background for the overlord enemies:

Even the Seraphim are not immune to the corruption of the Dark Lords. One such angel, Inarius, was proud of his beauty and boasted loudly of his purity and worth. His thoughts became so clouded that he believed himself to be above both Angel and Demon, and he left the High Heavens to form his own dominion. He constructed a great cathedral of mirrored glass and crystal, and followers flocked to him, drawn by his numinous charm and wealth. Once Inarius had gathered a sizable army, he decided to prove his power. Inarius first laid siege to an infernal temple devoted to the worship of Mephisto, but made the foolish mistake of overestimating his prowess. The armies of Inarius laid waste to the temple and killed the dark monks that dwelled within. The Three Evils had considered the vain warrior a mere nuisance and amusement until this time, but this was an insult that they could not bear.

Mephisto himself is said to have appeared at the cathedral of Inarius. He laid waste to the church and the surrounding countryside. The Lord of Hatred took the proud archangel and his followers captive. He bound Inarius with tremendous chains and slowly tore the wings from the back of the angel. Great barbed hooks were then used to stretch out the once glowing skin and his features were distorted by vile powers. Many of the followers of Inarius were given as gifts to Baal and Diablo, but the rest were molded to match the bloated image of the now crippled angel. To this day, Inarius is said to be trapped in Hell within a chamber of mirrors, his eyelids torn from his face as he is forced to gaze upon his misshapen form for all eternity. His misguided followers now serve as Hell’s taskmasters, taking the anguish of their lost glory out upon the bodies of others.

I guess you could call that a retcon but I think they did a good job updating it and keeping it mostly consistent considering they wrote the original material in '96 or thereabouts. They kept the main points of him making his own world, fighting demonic religions, and being a prisoner of Hell.

As for the worldstone, it's not even mentioned in the manuals and just kinda appears in LoD as a MacGuffin with no backstory and very vague references to what it even does. So Blizz can do and say pretty much whatever they want about it for D3 without being accused of retconning.

[Wildmoon]

There are some part that were retconed. Not necessary a bad thing.
