'''Zoltun Kulle ''' was one of the original, founding members of the [[Horadrim ]] who took a precipitous turn towards evil. A mage of immense power, at one time he was the most dangerous man in the world of Sanctuary. To confront this threat, the forces of Sanctuary teamed together and worked in vain to destroy Zolton Kulle, as he had already discovered the secret to immortality. His head was severed and buried in the desert while his body was imprisoned in an alternate dimension.<ref>Blizzcon 2011 - Diablo III Lore Panel. Comments by Chris MetzenKevin Martens.</ref>

[[Image:ArchivesOfZK1-BC2011.jpg |thumb |right |300px |The Archives of Zoltun Kulle, lair of the twisted Horadric mage.]]The [[Archives of Zoltun Kulle]] was an area that was teased during Blizzcon 2011. Portions of it were playable in the [[Blizzcon 2009]] floor demo and were the crumbling underground dungeons within the desert surrounding [[Caldeum]]. The subterranean complex is a place of great power, with the relics of an age long past still humming with magical energy. Ancient wards and defenses were placed to guard the imprisoned head of Zoltun Kulle from the ill-intentioned seeking to restore or disturb the once great, Horadric mage. The Archives of Zoltun Kulle will feature into the main quest of Diablo III in some way, but the pretext for the heroes' exploration of these ruins is still a mystery. {{clear}} ==Media==<gallery>File:ArchivesOfZK1-BC2011.jpg |Archives of Zoltun Kulle, concept 1.File:ArchivesOfZK2-BC2011.jpg |Archives of Zoltun Kulle, concept 2.File:ArchivesOfZK3-BC2011.jpg |Archives of Zoltun Kulle, concept 3.File:ArchivesOfZK4-BC2011.jpg |Archives of Zoltun Kulle, concept 4.File:ArchivesOfZK5-BC2011.jpg |Archives of Zoltun Kulle, concept 5.</gallery>
