As the | As the {{iw|Sin_War Sin War}} plodded along through the centuries, many in Hell began to wonder just what it was they were fighting over. The {{iw|Lesser_Evils Lesser Evils}} of Hell were growing tired of the endless ebb and flow in the tides of mortal favor, as well as those in the elaborate schemes of the three Prime Evils - [[Diablo]], [[Baal]] and [[Mephisto]]. The Lesser Evils longed to return to the epic days of the [[Great Conflict]], and lay siege again to the gates of the {{iw|High_Heavens High Heavens}}. | ||
Two of the Lesser Evils, | Two of the Lesser Evils, {{iw|Azmodan Azmodan}} and {{iw|Belial Belial}}, saw the situation as their chance to overthrow the {{iw|Prime_Evils Prime Evils}} and take control of Hell for themselves. The two Demon lords made a pact with [[Andariel]] and Duriel - as well as their minor brethren - assuring them that humanity would not deter the ultimate victory of Hell. Azmodan and Belial devised a plan to end the stalemate and achieve victory in the Sin War, ultimately riding the bloody crest of the Great Conflict straight into Armageddon. Thus, a great revolution was set into motion as all of Hell went to war against the Three Brothers, seeking to send them into a [[Dark Exile]]. | ||

Mephisto was the first imprisoned and, consequently, was the first to break free from his bondage. His wrath against those who had put him such a compromised position was swift and merciless. | Over the next two centuries, the three imprisoned brothers focused their Demonic powers upon corrupting the Soulstones that bound them to the mortal plane and began bending the will of any nearby humans.
