History

Sanctuary was a world created by the rogue Angel Inarius and his demoness confidante Lilith. The pair had led renegade members of their own kind who had grown tired of the Eternal Conflict waged between their respective races. Thus, Inarius stole the Worldstone which he used to create Sanctuary as a new home for themselves and those like them. Once there, Inarius and Lilith mated with one another thus creating a child with the other renegade Angels and Demons following their example as they made offspring of their own. Thus, the race of Nephalem were born who were children of both races that developed into their own people.

During the Dark Exile, the Prime Evils were banished into the world of Man where the three demonic entities began to prey on humanity. This saw them leaving a trail of terror and destruction where they fed on the pain experienced by humans. In response, the Archangel Tyrael journeyed to Sanctuary and in a guise he was responsible for selecting sorcerers among the magi-clans in the Eastern lands. These were then brought together to form a secretive brotherhood known as the Horadrim who were then dispatched to hunt down the Prime Evils and imprison them within soulstones.
