No freaking way this is a series of full Diablo's official lore, this is heaven

[CityBelowtheSea]

Now THIS is the pre-marketing content I want! So good! I’ve already listened to it twice!

"The hour is late. The fire is dying, and the cold is unrelenting" line near the end gave me goosebumps as if I was actually sitting in the room with the storyteller. Diablo has one of the best lores and this video does it justice!

[Kehls]

Love the subtle way Inarius' and Lilith's branches intertwine with one another signifying their union and creation of humanity.

[airsks]

For any one who is curious, Lorath's voice is cast by the English actor Ralph Ineson, who played Dagmer Cleftjaw from Game of Thrones

[Skagbr]

Can we all just recognise Ralph Ineson’s incredible voiceover work in Diablo IV?

[Kyder]

Whoever designed this tree did a good job. I like how Mephisto shares a branch with his children and how Tyrael shares one with who served him. And how Lilith and Inarius are close together on the tree despite being on opposing sides of it.

This is so sick. I really want a poster of this with all the characters with their names

[CantFindGeorge]

The animation paired with this style of story telling is 💯🔥

[Kenny-tjqc]

The narration, the artwork. The storytelling in DIablo is so next level it gives me goosebumps

[bengraven]

Genius. You get the world’s best voice as a voice actor, of course you give us an audio series of narration. Brilliant.

[mushroommagic]

This became my favorite video from Youtube, because it reminds me of the times I was a kid and went to my grand parents in a God forgotten village in Eastern Europe and I listened to my grandparents tales in the dark nights of summer. 🥰

I can not believe you are releasing an animated audiobook for the Book of Lorath.
The animation style, the narration which had me intrigued, even though I know the lore of Diablo by heart.
Whoever did this tree deserves a medal.

[kbuckley]

I can already tell this series will be bangin', even though I consider myself well versed in the lore. Guys, this is great work <3

[LordDudeious]

Im an old man... very old. And this? This is well worth every second of my life. Bravo...

[Squeebop]

YES YES YES! PLEASE MORE OF THIS! All I have ever wanted was a Diablo game rich with story and lore. I love my endless grinding, don't get me wrong, but I want my character be a part of something, to feel CONNECTED to the world around them. Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put into D4 that we've seen so far, can't wait for what's next :)

[darksaiyan]

The visual of the genealogic tree is very well done. Props to the artist!

[darkdragonbd]

this was badass! This is how you tell lore of a game that gives context to the world you will play in.

[BoudewijnRombouts]

Holy cow - Ralph Ineson has the perfect voice for this! Absolutely smashed it!

[DiabloIVYou]

Love this style of video giving more visualization to the lore. Cant wait to start the early access and see the changes implemented after server slam feedback!

[igorsemenov]

the storytelling and visuals are amazing but the voice actor is just top notch great stuff i wish they would make more series like this !!!
