Trivia

 * An interview with the comic creators indicated that the events took place not long before those of Diablo III. Text in Storm of Light however indicates that it happened long beforehand. Diablo Immortal establishes that the events must take place before the year 1270.


 * The series was written as the storyline for Diablo III was being developed, and so was subject to redrafts. One draft had Jacob visiting the Forgotten Tower.
