Class histories and backstories information.

[Child Of Bhaal]

If this is in the wrong place, my apologies, and can it please be moved.


I'm looking for information regarding the backstories of the classes in LOD. What are their customs and beliefs? This sort of stuff is vaguely described in the class histories found on various websites and in the manuals, but I looking for more detail.

-Do the barbarians have a "Valhalla" they believe they go to when they die?
-Do the Barbarians have a Dajemma or Agoge or rite of passage they must go through to prove their manhood.
-What are the rites and rituals of the Cult of Rathma
-What does a Paladin have to do to be initiated into the Knights of Westmarch
-Do the Knights of Westmarch still have a Que Hagan as their leader? they still follow the teachings of the Zakarum to some extent, they just aren't corrupt like those that remained in Kehjistan,


I find this sort of thing much more appealing, that trying to prove how big of an ass I am by killing some newbie's character who never even wanted to fight me in the first place, even If I don't actually get answers to my questions.



I suppose I could easily make up this stuff, but I figured, hey the least I could do is fight out if it has already been thought of, either offically by Blizzard or as "commonly accepted fan lore".

i don't think blizzard has any official story behind the different classes. there are a few books written about the diablo universe that you might want to look at if your interested in, there are at least 2 3 part series out on amazon. for being so proud of storymaking, you'd think blizzard would have revealed a little bit more about the classes

Thanks

I know about the novels, they mention a bit about the cult of Rathma, but not much.


Blizzard have done little snippets, or some has,


This info on Talic, isn't from the manual, and I don't recall seeing it on Arreat Summit, but I could be wrong.
Talic - WikiDiablo, the Diablo wiki - a Wikia Gaming wiki

Indeed. But they are kinda going through a forget Diablo let's work on Warcraft/WOW period right now.

That's true. The WoW universe has so much lore, it'd take me a couple weeks to read it all.
