The Book of Prava

In her recent interview with Game Director Brent Gibson and Associate Narrative Designer Eleni Rivera-Colon, our friend Jen of Hatred asked them about the lore for the Vessel of Hatred. In the Book of Lorath, which was released last year along with Diablo 4, more details were provided about Lorath and Neyrelle’s journeys from the end of the Diablo 4 main campaign to just prior to what was presented in the Vessel of Hatred release date trailer. However, there is a new book titled the Book of Prava that will be released in October alongside the Vessel of Hatred expansion.

Eleni had this to say when asked about whether the Book of Prava will be directly linked to the Vessel of Hatred:

“Prava is still tied to the player. So I think, regardless, you can probably read in for some interesting points but I don’t know if there’s going to be anything in there that’s necessarily spoiling anything. I think, if anything, it’s just giving players ammo to say, I cannot wait to play expansion and see what happens.”

Brent also responded to the same question:

“I’m a hyper lore nerd, and I will bow to our writing staff, they create way more lore than we’ll ever expose in just the game. Especially with Spiritborn, it’s a class that we want to see have life after the expansion, right? So we develop the lore in a way that can be used for more things like books and novelettes, and blog posts and merchandise and all these other things. The lore is integrated, you know, we don’t release a book without thinking about its impact on the canon and how that’s gonna build out to everything else. And obviously, a lot of the material we’re releasing right now has to do with the time period that we’re dealing with right now. So definitely check it out. If you’re a lore person it will definitely be worth it.”
