According to many historical accounts, it was during this pivotal time (in which humanity was beginning to reject magic for the comforts of religion) that Akarat received a startling revelation from a being he referred to as Yaerius, or “son of light” in his native language. The Zakarum faith was founded many years ago, sometime after the Mage Clan wars by the prophet Akarat, a wandering ascetic from Xiansai. The answers to these questions and many more lay below, so let’s kick off our week-long inside look at the Crusader class with some delectable servings of lore! The Rise of the Zakarum But where did they come from? What is their role in the Zakarum faith? How will they tackle the looming threat of Malthael on the horizon? Unlike other orders of the Zakarum, the Crusaders bring a distinctly grittier version of a traditional holy warrior to the world of Sanctuary. All of these names could very well describe the newest hero class available in Reaper of Souls™. In try Blizzard style the above character intro is brilliantly done and I do love how the characters are given such deep backstories.Īnd once again Blizzard haven’t disappointed with the following backstory and lore posted on the official siteįaithful of Akkhan.

Using the power of Christianity to rid the world of demons this character is on a never-ending quest for what he believes is the greater good. I find religion and old-school Christianity fascinating and so this character definitely appeals to me. So I’m definitely looking forward to the upcoming Reaper of Souls upgrade to the game in the coming weeks and the first hero we’ve been deemed fit to see is The Crusader. Since different monsters of the same type can appear in different acts, the monster classes will be listed here as links to the class pages, where the monsters will be listed.I rather enjoyed the console version of Diablo 3 that was released last year and one of my current regrets is that I haven’t managed to keep playing it due to work load and other issues. While the general categories of Demons, Undead, and Beasts are still there, monsters are separated into separate classes based on the monster type. The Bestiary of Diablo III is categorized differently than the previous games.
