Could Lorath be the one in the tomb, and this is his brother? Or is the prophet Lorath, and he buried his brother? The mystery is on who he addresses as “brother” - the dead guy inside the tomb. I don’t recall if Blizzard mentioned how long into the future Diablo IV takes place compared to Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - but if this is at least twenty years or more into the future, it is possible that this prophet might be no other than Lorath Nahr. Let me help you by tracing it in green and comparing it with an image from the novel Diablo: The Order. If you zoom in into the Prophet, you will notice a peculiar necklace. What’s right in front of you, at a glimpse, might give you a better understanding and clarity of who this prophet might be. So you can’t really make a guess to this prophet’s identity by the surroundings of this tomb near a cabin. The snowy place resembles somewhere near Barbarian lands, but the guy doesn’t look Barbarian. The drinking doesn’t give away much, and considering he has nightmares and visions of the future, it is understandable that he drinks alcohol. He wears strange robes, but considering he is in a snowy mountain, you would expect him to be well-warmed up.

His ear is slashed, which means he’s seen combat or at least got across a thief. Blizzard could play this out throughout a few expansions and DLCs.īack to the prophet, it is quite difficult to guess who this old guy is. With Duriel and Andariel confirmed to be in Diablo IV, it is no surprise that the three Great Evils will be reborn after Malthael consumed the Black Soulstone and his demise before our hero released their spirits.ĭo all three need to return in the same game? Not necessarily. They tell of the future.Īnalyzing this transcript you can clearly see three words that make a hidden reference to: You think me mad, old friend, but I know these dreams. There’s no one left to stand against them. And then… executions, agony, suffering surrounded me, until my turn comes.

I witness senseless slaughter, brother against brother, pure hatred. There I find a city in flames… streets choked with corpses… unthinkable destruction. It always starts with a journey… to a distant land. The dream continues to haunt me, old friend. The transcript of what this prophet says is intriguing: Who is this prophet? Who is the brother buried in a tomb? Blizzard Entertainment unveiled the Diablo IV official gameplay trailer at BlizzCon 2019.īut a question remains about the mysterious prophet that narrates his visions of the future.
