DIABLO: Amor Aeternus (Fic List)

Diablo: Amor Aeternus is a 4-Act fanfiction series set 20 years after Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. The story follows the New Tristram crew as they attempt to understand and avert a world-ending conflict between the Nephalem and the forces of the Eternal Conflict.

Content below the break!

‘Many ages ago, angels and demons stole a powerful artifact, the Worldstone, and used it to create the mortal world: Sanctuary. Their children, the Nephalem, triumphed against evil countless times, upsetting the eternal balance between good and evil. They were the bane of demons, and even the angels in their high towers began to fear them.

Although the Nephalem had their allies in the Heavens, one angel, Malthael, swept through Sanctuary as the Angel of Death, determined to eliminate all demonic essence. He failed, and fell to the mortals he sought to destroy. Yet, before before his Fall, Malthael was once the benevolent Archangel of Wisdom and the leader of his kind. His story is not over. Not yet.’

‘Malthael had supposed there would be silence in death. Instead, he found wisdom and the chance for redemption.’

Earlier I did the math of travel times within Sanctuary, mostly from Westmarch to Kyovashad, based on the information that it took 7-8 days from Kingsport to Skovos on a continuous journey without breaks (from "The Lost Horadrim")

When it comes to sailing, there are two modes for sailing:

Open-sea sailing, where there is a day and night crew that mans the ship for 24 hours, so they don't dock often.

Costal / Day sailing, where the ship stops every night so the crew can rest, which will double the time it takes to cover the distance.

There is the third option when it comes to the route of Kingsport to Gea Kul or Kurast, where it's most likely to find a trading ship to take you, which means they might make several stops, most definitely at Lut Gholein for supplies and trade, and extend the travel time by a bit. But they will also most likely travel continuously as you want to transport goods as fast as possible for better profit.

So overall, it would take from three weeks to a month to travel between Kingsport and Kurast, assuming favorable conditions and no pirates or other disasters at sea.

When it comes to horseback riding, there are two modes of travel:

Traveling with your own horse, where you can travel for 8-10 hours a day and let the horse rest in between. This will take about 30 days to cover the same distance as the ship does in a week.

Traveling with a fresh horse - this means you will take a new horse every town and can travel continuously with a rested mount. However this is usually reserved for high ranking officials and couriers, so regular people might not be able to afford it or most places wouldn't provide it to them. It would take around 15-17 days with this method.

So overall I put that travel time to 20 days, in ideal conditions and without consideration for the roads, just to make the math easier.

Which means traveling from Westmarch to Kyovashad with this route will take about 3.5-4 months, and even 5 months if you pick . And with these two measurements, you guys can calculate the travel times to any point of Sanctuary for all your story needs 💙

Stars — Inarius & Lilith

I've been drawing this lately. The constellations are from the game, and the original image is in the last slide (yes, I drew it by following the original 😅).

Lilith in the game:“I'm gonna tear your wings apart. JPG”😡

No worries — in fanart, we can imagine a past where the two of them got along just fine. I hope the game will give us more related lore.😆😆

Being a fan of a morally grey character is frustrating because people will try to reduce them to either being an innocent little angel or a completely heartless monster and both of these interpretations just take away what makes the character interesting

To the surprise of absolutely no one, I drew Tyrael again

Study of his gorgeous in game model (textured and high poly) by Gustavo Medeiros. I wanted to have a go at doing a pencil drawing digitally (I need another Diablo sourcebook with a portrait of him and his new look, please and thank you).
