Make your stand against the darkness with this comprehensive, stunningly illustrated artifact handed down by the Horadric Order, your key to the lore of Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo® franchise

Amid the restless evil of Sanctuary, only the Horadrim—an ancient order of heroes and scholars—wield the knowledge needed to light the way for humanity. In the Book of Lorath, join Lorath Nahr, one of the last of the dwindling Horadrim, on a journey through Sanctuary’s most powerful relics and the stories behind them. It is Lorath’s hope that this volume will preserve his knowledge for all time . . . and pass it down to those who will inherit the fight against the Prime Evils.

Direct from the Diablo® development team and award-winning author Matthew J. Kirby, this immersive, must-have compendium with all-new illustrations showcases the artifacts that have often been—and might yet be—the key to tipping the fate of the world.

Sounds like another book of lore to add to your collection of Diablo 3 lore books.

The book releases on June 6th and you can pre-order it on Amazon.

In the meantime, check this out.

Horror’s favorite authors throw open the doors to the Horadric Library, inviting Diablo fans a glimpse into the terrors that lurk beneath the world of Sanctuary. . . .

While the Eternal Conflict rages forever onward, horror and superstition of a purely Sanctuary variety still prey on the hearts of the people. In a time long since forgotten, the Horadric Order was tasked with recording local legends, cautionary tales, and stories of the most twisted horror, in the hope that some innocents might be saved by their knowledge. Now, the vaults are open.

Direct from the Diablo development team and horror’s preeminent minds comes Tales from the Horadric Library, a short story collection exploring the darkest corners of Sanctuary, and the evils that dwell there. This beautiful deluxe book has original artwork and metallic ink on its illuminated pages.

Anyone pick up the Book of Lorath yet? I heard it has a lot of interesting lore from Diablo IV. Apparently there's some kind of armor in there that looks like it came right out of Warhammer 40,000.

I have the Book of Cain and the Book of Adria.

Both are great books packed full of lore. The Book of Adria is more of a bestiary but it's written in Adria's views.
