NK: My working relationship with Blizzard is great. I think readers will recognize a lot of clues to future events, as well as new lore that explains a lot of what happened in the past in ways that might be surprising. We wanted to set the stage, foreshadow those events in a number of ways, while telling our own, epic quest novel that finally gives Deckard Cain his own story, rather than using him as a supporting character. It lays some very important groundwork for the events of D3. The Order shows Diablo fans what Deckard Cain has been doing leading up to Diablo III, and how he and Leah end up together-and why. So the novel is very accessible for those who don't know as much about the games, and a nostalgia trip for those die-hard fans who want a different angle on existing lore.
I retell some of the more important events from earlier games through memory and flashback. Cain was the perfect protagonist for this, because he's been through it, he's a storyteller and a scholar, he knows what's happened and what is to come. NK: The Order is an attempt to reboot the franchise, in a way, by providing the back story from the first two games and giving a lead-in to the third. Soon, Cain and Leah's path will intersect with his, and the consequences will be catastrophic-and may mean the end of Sanctuary as we know it. Meanwhile, a new leader has arisen in league with the Burning Hells, a man with his own twisted past known only as The Dark One.
On the way there they encounter an Ivgorod monk who has a quest of his own. After a terrible tragedy befalls them in the city, Leah and Cain go on the road to seek out what might be a secret order of the Horadrim, rumored to be living somewhere beyond Kurast. Leah has her own terrible secrets to battle.
But soon, they will return to the surface in ways he cannot predict.Ĭain travels to Caldeum and finds Adria's daughter Leah, who has been living in hiding with Gillian the barmaid. He is also haunted by events of his past, things he has kept long buried, hidden so deep even he barely remembers them. Cain believes that the destruction of the Worldstone has upset the natural order of Sanctuary, and he is determined to follow the signs that might help him stop the demon uprising-and to find out, once and for all, whether there are any Horadrim left, or whether he is the last of a proud line. Arreat believe the danger has passed, Deckard Cain has continued to wander Sanctuary, obsessed with a growing number of signs that indicate a new invasion from the Burning Hells is coming-one that will dwarf all that have come before. Although most of those who fought the great battle on Mt. The Order takes place a few years after the events of Diablo II.
