If you missed episode 014, you may want to give it a listen before jumping into episode 015.

Before I started this episode, I wrote a blog post about Anu and the Dragon that explains more about where Anu and Tathamet originated.

Years ago, I wrote a blog post called A is for Angel about how the High Heavens were created and what, exactly, angels in the Diablo “universe” are.

Upcoming episodes of Jen’s Lore Corner will cover the Burning Hells, the Angiris Council, the Lords of Hell, Pandemonium, and Sanctuary itself.

New content started with Episode 010.

In this episode, I talk about one of the oldest creation myths in Sanctuary – the story of Anu and the Dragon.

Before I started recording this episode, I wrote a blog post about Anu and the Dragon. You can listen to me read it to you in this episode. Or, if you prefer, you can read along with me.

This is only the first part of Sanctuary’s creation myths. In upcoming episodes, I will talk about how the angels got there, how the demons got there, and why Sanctuary was created.

Welcome to Jen’s Lore Corner, a podcast about the lore of the Diablo video game series. This podcast started as a segment on the Shattered Soulstone podcast. I decided to re-release those segments in their own podcast.

New content started with Episode 010.

In this episode, I talk about a pair of characters that are beloved by many in the Diablo community: Zayl the Necromancer and Humbart Wessel.

Before I started recording this episode, I wrote a blog post about Zayl the Necromancer.

It was part of a series I was writing for an A-to-Z challenge. I decided to focus on Diablo lore. Who better to write about for the letter Z than Zayl?

Much more recently, I wrote a blog post about Humbart Wessel, the reanimated skull that is Zayl’s snarky companion. You can find Humbart in Diablo III and travel with him. Humbart Wessel is a pet!

I mentioned a few of the Diablo books that Zayl and Humbart are in. One of them is Diablo III: Storm of Light, which was written by Nate Kenyon.

UPDATE: Sometime after recording this episode, I finally found Zayl and Humbart Wessel in the Blood Marsh in Diablo III.
