Tal Rasha ordered his brethren to contain him, upon which, a sorrowful Tyrael jammed the broken soulstone into his chest, sealing his fate and transferring Baal's essence into his body. Heading underground into the burial chambers of long-dead kings, the Horadrim built a binding stone etched with runes of containment in one of the largest tombs. Thanks to Tal Rasha, a surrogate soulstone would be created. However, the shard would not be able to hold Baal for long. In a battle as vicious as the last, the Horadrim battled Baal before incapacitating him, and sealing him inside the soulstone fragment. Tal Rasha teleported after him, while Kulle led the Horadrim through Baal's forces, finally arriving to aid Tal Rasha. The two used the soulstone against him, intent on sealing his essence inside it, but Baal was able to shatter it, before escaping through a portal into the valley below.īaal stops the Horadrim's first attempt at sealing him īaal ended up facing Tal Rasha in single combat, before Horadrim led by Zoltun Kulle arrived, aiding Tal Rasha in incapacitating the Lord of Destruction. In the end, Baal stood his ground, directing his powers of destruction against the Horadrim, summoning a force of demons to engage them. After three days, Baal fled north, the Horadrim in close pursuit. Baal took refuge in the city of Lut Gholein while the Horadrim patiently waited. In time, both Baal and Diablo journeyed west across the Twin Seas to the deserts of Aranoch. Over time their demonic presence twisted the victims human flesh into grotesque simulacrums of their physical form. In other to acquire a physical form, they required a body for their spirit to possess. The banishment of the Prime Evils from Hell to the mortal plane also left them incorporeal. While Baal and his brothers were free to wreak havoc for a few decades, their presence came to be discovered by the archangel Tyrael, who formed the Horadrim to find and capture the three brothers. In truth, this was a plan on the Primes' part to corrupt the Worldstone and corrupt humanity. Baal and his brothers were banished into Sanctuary in what became known as the Dark Exile. That they continued to be interested in Man's potential after the Sin War did not sit well also and the Lesser Evils rose up in rebellion. The Dark Exile īaal and his brothers had kept Sanctuary's existence a secret from the Lesser Evils, and that had driven a wedge between them. After the war, the followers of Inarius were gifted to Baal. In the end, the conflict ended with both Heaven and Hell agreeing to respect Sanctuary's neutrality in the Great Conflict. The Triune's efforts to ensnare humanity were hindered by the rogue angel Inarius however, who founded the Cathedral of Light. Both nature and the architectural triumphs of humanity were said to be under the auspecies of his spirit. "Bala" was depicted as wielding a hammer when he himself was portrayed, along with a bag, which the Triune's priests preached contained the seeds of all life. Each of the Primes took on an alter ego for worship and in Baal's case, he was known as Bala, the Spirit of Creation, represented by a leaf in Triune iconography. To this end, they founded the Triune-a seemingly benevolent religion that was actually a front for their true motives. Sensing the dormant power within humanity and reasoning it could be turned to suit their own ends, the Prime Evils began a campaign to tip humanity over to their side. Diablo informed his brothers of this new world's existance. ĭue to the actions of the Vizjerei, the powers of Hell came to learn of the existence of Sanctuary and its inhabitants. Believing her to be responsible for the Worldstone's disapearance, he demanded that they find her, kill her, and take the Worldstone back. However, Baal did have his suspicions, and pointed out to Mephisto that Lilith was missing. The angels he killed could not enlighten him to its whereabouts. Baal, losing patience, stormed the Pandemonium Fortress and discovered that the Worldstone was missing. He ordered his forces to withdraw so he could analyze the situation. While leading his forces on the battlefields of Pandemonium, Mephisto noticed that the angels were withdrawing.
