The game’s story follows Lillith’s return after she was banished earlier by the angel Inarius. Years before the events of the game, Lillith and Inarius created Sanctuary as a place for providing refuge to those who escaped from the conflict of Heaven and Hell and their relation resulted in the creation of a new race named Nephalem.
The Nephalem are neither Angels nor Demons but more potent than both. The people in Sanctuary thought they were dangerous and wanted to destroy them. However, Lilith protected her children and destroyed whoever tried to harm the Nephalems, but she was later banished to the void by Inarius. Now, Lilith has returned after being summoned by the Cultists and plans to take over the world of Sanctuary.
