Marius was subsequently murdered.īaal is leading an invasion against the northern barbarian lands. However, the narrator Marius was tricked into surrendering the last Soulstone to a false Archangel Tyrael which was revealed to be Baal, the third brother and the very last remaining Prime Evil.

Two of the three Prime Evils, Mephisto and Diablo, have been defeated and their Soulstones have been destroyed, preventing their return. The story continues where Diablo II ended. As a result, LoD is largely considered a 'must-buy' instead of only being an addition, making it a huge multiplayer success and one of the most successful expansion packs of all time. More than a standard expansion, Lord of Destruction not only added content in the form of new character classes and an additional scenario, it also dramatically revamped the gameplay of the existing Diablo II for solo and especially multiplayer.

Unlike the original Diablo's expansion pack ( Diablo: Hellfire), it is an official expansion designed by Blizzard Entertainment. Diablo II: Lord of Destruction (commonly abbreviated LoD) is an expansion pack for the popular Action Role-Playing game Diablo II.
