Led by the [[Initiate]]s [[Tal Rasha]] and [[Jered Cain]], the Horadrim found [[Mephisto]] in the [[Kehjistan]] jungles, and managed to capture him within the Soulstone meant for him. He was buried under the [[Temple of Light]] in what would become [[Kurast]] and guarded by a large section of the magi brotherhood.

Jered Cain led the remaining Horarim to the West, and caught up with [[Diablo]] near the river [[Talsande]], who managed to escape from the east. They fought a bitter and hard battle, with heavy losses, but managed to subdue the red lord of terror. He was imprisoned in his Soulstone and buried in caves nearby, whereupon the [[Tristram Cathedral|a Horadric monastery]] was built.

Neither of They slowly corrupted the Three Demon Lords had anticipated not only to be defeated, but be unable to escapesoulstones and the areas around him with effects that are later mentioned.
