Once in, this unknown priest is horrified to learn that the structure is dedicated to returning “the Daughter of Hatred” to Sanctuary. Whatever his true purpose for being here, the Priest manages to decipher the ancient ruins - likely from the same time period as the ancient Nephalem ruins that Rakkis found under the Blood Marsh - and discovers that blood must be used to open the path inside. It’s also telling that his invocation of Akarat and the Eternal Light is not, shall we say, the most doctrinally correct, in that he’s easily disabused of it by the end of the cinematic. Keeping in mind that the Church of Zakarum was corrupted by Mephisto because they guarded his Soulstone prison underneath Travincal, it’s interesting to see a Zakarum priest heading into a tomb like this looking for knowledge. He’s identifiable by his constant recitation of a prayer invoking Akarat and the Eternal Light of the Zakarum faith. They seem to be driven by simple greed, stressed by the fact that one of them is left behind to die with the easy statement that “gold splits better three ways instead of four.” It’s no surprise that the group doesn’t last long.īut not everyone in the group seems to be after treasure: it also includes a priest of Zakarum, who claims he came for knowledge, but now finds himself beset by demons. This location is perhaps in Scosglen, based on the appearance of the tombstone in the cinematic, but that’s neither here nor there for now. The first people we see are a group of what certainly appears to be treasure hunters - not mighty Nephalem or other heroes, but straight up seekers for gold who have chosen an old church in the middle of nowhere to dig a shaft into a deep underground tomb or temple. If you haven’t seen it before this article won’t make much sense, and even if you have seen it, it’s worth rewatching to refresh your memory.Īn group of treasure hunters driven by greed
Before we get started, you should watch the cinematic above.
