Other Diablo 3 tagged stuff from around the planet

While little has been said about how the game carries on from Diablo II, we do know it's been set 20 years after the end of Diablo II, and the vents of the previous games have become mythology to the people of Sanctuary with only a few heroes and characters from the original timeline remembering the events. Sanctuary was never invaded by the denizens of Hell at the end of Diablo II, the inhabitants of Sanctuary think the events of the past were over exagerated, and those that were present at the time have either gone mad or failed to convince the current inhabitants of Sanctuary they truly had a batttle on their hands.
