New Trilogy Explores the History Behind the Diablo Universe --
Diablo: The Sin War, Book One: Birthright Now Available

The world was young, then, and only a few knew it as Sanctuary or knew that not only did angels and demons exist, but some of them had caused Sanctuary to be in the first place. The names Inarius, Diablo, Rathma, Mephisto, and Baal -- to name a powerful and often dread few -- had not yet been whispered on mortal lips.

In this simpler time, ignorant of the eternal battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells, people struggled and prospered, lived and died. They could not know that even then, the eyes of both immortal sides would soon covet their potential and thus begin a conflict that would spill over into the centuries to come.

And, of all those most terribly ignorant of Sanctuary's awful destiny, Uldyssian Ul-Diomed -- Uldyssian, son of Diomedes -- could be said to have been the most blind. Blind, though he would be himself at the center of what scholars of the world's secret history would come to call the Sin War.

It was not a war in the sense of men-at-arms -- though there were those, too -- but rather a trying, a testing and taking, of souls. A war that would forever eradicate the innocence of Sanctuary and those inhabiting it, changing all, even those not aware.

A war that was both won... and lost...

From the Books of Kalan,
First Tome, Second Leaf

In Birthright, the first book of the new Diablo trilogy, The Sin War, the eternal conflict between the angelic forces of the High Heavens and the demonic hordes of the Burning Hells has spilled over into Sanctuary -- the world of men. Now, Sanctuary's destiny, and that of every mortal soul, lies in the balance.

The Sin War, Book One: Birthright is available for purchase in Blizzard's online store. A must-read for gamers and fiction fans alike, The Sin War trilogy, written by New York Times bestselling author Richard A. Knaak, lays out the basic foundation for the lore of the Diablo universe. The second novel in the trilogy, The Sin War, Book Two: Scales of the Serpent, is forthcoming from Blizzard and Pocket Books. "

The story sounds the exact same as how people were telling how diablo3 would be...a sign maybe?
