The '''Worldstone''' resides , also refered to as the '''Heart of the World''' by [[Barbarian]]s, resided deep within [[Mount Arreat]]. It was brought into being in order to keep [[Sanctuary]] hidden from the forces of [[High Heavens|Heaven ]] and [[Burning Hells|Hell]].
==History==
The '''Worldstone''' was destroyed by [[Tyrael]] after the ultimate battle between [[Baal]] and the Heroes of Light. Baal had corrupted the '''Worldstone''' to his will, and it was decided by Tyrael that it had to be destroyed, lest the forces of Hell come flooding into the realm of [[Sanctuary]]. It is speculated that the next game in the series, [[Diablo III]], will explain the effects, if any, on Tyrael and Sanctuary for his drastic action.
Adding to the mystery of Tyrael's action is the concern and uncertainty of the inhabitants of [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Harrogath [Harrogath]] after the destruction of the '''Worldstone'''. It is known in the Prophecy that the '''Worldstone''' would be corrupted, but [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/{{iw|Anya Anya] }} goes as far as mentioning that the Prophecy ''never'' mentioned it being outright destroyed.
