- Were you looking for Diablo novels, or Tomes?
Books and writings are as common in Sanctuary as in any other world, and the writings of men, angel and demon kind alike numbers in the thousands. These are a few of the known works from the Diablo Universe.
Known Authors and their Works
There are several known authors of literature in Sanctuary and related realms. Many of the more interesting ones are of course powerful magicians or leaders of people. There is also Abd al-Hazir and his travels around the globe, which brings a lot of knowledge to us readers. Here is a list of known authors:
- Abd al-Hazir - Travelling writer, who have seen much of Sanctuary none else ever have.
- Writings of Abd al-Hazir - Collection of entries from his mission to gather information about different regions of sanctuary, and their inhabitants. 42 entries are so far in circulation.
- Xiansai Chronicles - Chronicles that presumably are about Abd's travels in Xiansai.
- Deckard Cain - Scholar and last descendant of the mighty Horadrim. While lacking magic skills, he has tremendous knowledge, and helps any inquisitive traveller or adventurer on their path.
- Deckard Cain's Journal - Journal of the year when Diablo returned and was defeated together with his brothers Mephisto and Baal.
- Elder Aust of Harrogath - One of the town elders in the Barbarian town of Harrogath.
- Journal of Elder Aust of Harrogath - A few days in Montaht when Aust convinced the Elders to erect Druid wardings around Haggorath to stop the armies of Baal.
Works of Unknown Authors
- Prophecies of the Final Day - This book is a work of prophecies in Sanctuary. It's most likely located in one of the libraries of Caldeum, but exact information is currently unavailable.
- Encyclopedia Sanctuaria - As part of the Vizjerei or Horadrim libraries, it's a known encyclopedia about Sanctuary with brief entries about its lands and inhabitants (mostly monsters). Author is unknown, but it's possible it's Nor Tiraj.
Tomes & Books
- Main article: Tomes.
Tomes are in-game in the Diablo games with lore information. They are of course also books, but listed and indexed separately from "regular" works created on Sanctuary (or anywhere in the Diablo Universe). Their exact credibility or canonity is as debated as any other in-world book. Most of these lack a known author.
