When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram Cathedral seeking clues to defeat new stirrings of evil, a fiery harbinger of doom falls from the heavens, striking the very ground where Diablo once entered the world.
I have a few things to discuss about this. Some people misunderstood and even conclude that Diablo was brought from this Whatever...
#1 It says it falls from the heavens. Do they mean, High Heaven? Wouldn't they just say from the skies if it just felt from above?
#2 How did it begin exactly in Diablo I? Diablo's soulstone ends up on the forehead of prince Leoric, so how exactly the soulstone got to the sanctuary? Which might lead to : was this fiery harbringer a soulstone? Or a shard of soulstone (Baal's)?
#3 It comes from the heavens, so is it an angel (Tyrael?) coming down to the cathedral to help? We also know that there's a path between the three worlds, so it might not be something heavenly, the 20 years gap might be the time for the demons to invade heavens.
If you guys have any information about Diablo I please post it and I will edit my post accordingly.
So what do you guys think is that thing from heavens?
i am curious about this myself. my initial thoughts have been, during the 20 years hell has had to take time to recover and instead of marching back to fight the mortals where they had just lost twice to, they took thier assult to heaven. during that fight which imo is still going on during the events of d3 a demon or something(broken heaven) falls from above. maybe heaven started winning and a powerfull demon bails out so to speak and crashes down into our world and now that he is here he has started to bring back the forces of evil? maybe realizing that the only way to fully get to heaven was to go through our world?
not sure but i am very interested to see where the story is going to go

#1. Well we can only speculate on that one, however i think that there is a reason to use the word heavens. Also, they say a harbinger. which is a bringer of things to come.
#2. It didnt end up in the forehead of Prince Leoric. Leoric was kings. and he was to strong for Diablo to corrupt him. So he went mad and died.
It ended up in the forehead of his son, Prince Albrecht.
However, how the stones got there in the first place, is a whole nother story.
As you probably read somewhere, Diablo, Mephisto and Baal made a plan to be banished into sanctuary. Here they find themself in battle with The Horadrim. They have a little help from Tyrael, and captures the Evils in these soulstones.
The Horadrim then places the stones different places in Sanctuary, thinking the Evils within are contained.
Diablos in a Cathedral at Tristram.
Baals in Tal Rasha in the desert.
Mephistos in another great mage (cant remember whom) in the church of zakarum.
They think they are locked away and the world is safe like this. But we know they were wrong
#3. Well. we dont know. But a fiery harbinger dont sound like an angel. But i agree, i think it should be an angel.
#1 It says it falls from the heavens. Do they mean, High Heaven? Wouldn't they just say from the skies if it just felt from above?
I really don't know what to make of it, because I agree that referring to the (H/h)eavens is ambiguous. I'm just not sure if it's deliberate.

No, it's a long story explained partly above. There were no comets involved, to the best of my knowledge. The long and short is that the three manipulated their own exile from the Burning Hells and their capture by the Horadrim into a trio of stones forged in Hell. The Horadrim chose the places to imprison the stones, unaware that the Three already intended to bend the stones to their own purposes. Diablo corrupted the Archbishop Lazarus - an aide of King Leoric - to abduct Leoric's son, Albrecht, and place the soulstone into the child's head.

I personally also think it's an angel, if not Tyrael. My justification is that the D3 homepage appears to show an angel standing in the same cathedral as the girl that is lighting candles in the cinematic. I say this because the candles are visible on the right-hand side of the screen.
Now, it's worth saying that this might not be valid evidence, because we don't know from what points in the story the two scenes (frontpage and cinematic) are taken. The angel on the frontpage might have come later to quell whatever landed in the Cathedral, as depicted in the cinematic. (I'm just making sure that the universal doubt of any speculation is preserved.)
My take on it would be a comet striking the ground where Diablo once entered the world. Maybe re-opening the way.
Also i dont know if this has been mentioned before, but it was Tyrael who destroyed the Worldstone, which wasnt part of the prophecy. So i doubt he is here to help
#1 It says it falls from the heavens. Do they mean, High Heaven? Wouldn't they just say from the skies if it just felt from above?
I don't think there is much dispute that whatever fell is from heaven. As for what it specifically is, that's pure speculation and no one knows for sure yet.

Tyreal brought the soulstones to Sanctuary in order to contain the prime evils. All three prime evils were imprisoned within the stones, and each stone was placed in a different spot for safe keeping. The Arch Bishop Lazarus was corrupted by Diablo, who still needed a body. Lazarus kidnapped the prince, and drove the stone into his (the price's) forehead, allowing Diablo to manifest his physical form by taking over the young boy's body. Hence Cain's journal even saying something like, "When Diablo was killed it sounded as though a child was screaming out in pain", to paraphrase.

This is just pure speculation. No one really knows for sure, and I doubt Blizzard will release anything else on this specific topic. They want the rumor mill to keep going on this one.

You won't be able to. You can only edit your post up to one hour after it is made.
dont be dissapointed if you expected something complete different..
ofc I wont be disappointed I'm open to anything that can happen .. As long as it makes sense to me.
There was also that theory that the other thread started, that it was a fallen angel falling from the cinematics video (it's probably the same comet we're talking about as it strikes a cathedral).
Anyway, I think from the "heavens" is a keyword that will take a big part in the game
Whatever...
.. As long as it makes sense to me.
