Tal Rasha was one of the greatest Horadric Mages ever to live. He lead a hunt for Baal after the Dark Exile and sought to bind Baal to a Soulstone like his brothers Diablo and Mephisto. However, during their battle, the Soulstone Tal Rasha was intending to use was broken. Tal Rasha took up the largest piece of the crystal and thrust it into Baal, temporarily trapping his soul. However, knowing this wouldn't last for long, he also had his brothers restrain him inside an ancient tomb, and then thrust the stone into his body, to leave him to wrestle with the demon for eternity, strapped to a Binding Stone.

The origins of this set is unknown, however. It could just be the name it always had, be some sort of magically infused burial wrappings, or named after burial wrappings after his prolonged death.

If it was his actual burial wrappings, then the cinematic don't show him in the aura displayed while wearers have the whole set today.

There is also a chance these items are not at all canon in terms of lore.

Diablo II Item Set

While the full set is designed for (and can only be equipped by, thanks to the Orb) a Sorceress, the armor is a very popular item for all types of characters and even mercs, thanks to the huge Magic Find, defense, and resistance.

It's also common to find magic find-geared characters of all types using the armor, helm, and belt, since equipping any three items from this set grants a 65% bonus to Magic Find, and the armor, helm, and belt hold substantial bonuses, including dual leech, high resistance, magic find, and much more.

Inherent Bonus information for Class Specific items can be found here.

It's only available in D2X.

Development

Tal Rasha's Wrappings was introduced in Patch 1.10 together with a host of other Item Sets. Significant changes to the game made some item sets less useful and others more so. Runewords became the over-all long-term gear goal for players, taking some shine away from item sets.

Trivia

The cloth which people used to be swaddled in before they were interred were sometimes known as wrappings.
