第十篇：20th Day of Esunar, 1265 Anno Kehjistani

How could I have been so blind? I believed my friend’s melancholy to be a natural reaction to the horrors he had lived. How could I not have seen that he carried within him the very being of Diablo? After brooding for weeks, he finally slipped away in the night. Perhaps he has gone to “the east” that he so often woke screaming about in days following his victory over the Lord of Terror.

我真是瞎了眼！我居然认为我朋友流露出的忧郁寡言是他与恶魔作战、历经恐惧后的一种正常反应。我竟然没有看出来他的身体里居然就暗藏着迪亚波罗！在沉默了几个星期之后，一天晚上他不为人知地离开了。也许他已经去了“东方”，在他打败恐惧之王后的那些天里，他经常尖叫着那个地方醒来。

Shortly after he left us, legions of foul demons attacked and burned our town to its foundations. None of the townspeople were spared, and not even women and children were allowed the peace of the grave. Instead, all were reanimated in grisly undeath. And Griswold, who had so faithfully armored the one I had call friend during his battle, suffered perhaps the worst fate of all, being corrupted into a slavering demonic beast thirsting after human flesh.

在他离开不久，肮脏的恶魔军团就袭击了镇上，并把小镇烧毁作为他们的巢穴。没有一个居民能够幸免，即使是女人和孩子也不能在坟墓中得到安宁。事实上，他们都被恶魔杀死并被复活成恐怖的僵尸。格瑞斯华尔德，他曾经那么忠实地维护着我曾经在战斗中称之为朋友的那个人，其命运却最为悲惨。他堕落成了一个渴望人类肉体的贪婪的恶魔。

There is no simple madness. It can be nothing less than possession by the Lord of Terror himself. The fool, he thought he could contain Diablo’s evil. his reckless overconfidence has proven costly to us all.

这不是简单的疯狂行为，毫无疑问，他的身体已经被恐惧之王占有了。这个愚蠢的傻瓜！他认为天真地认为他可以控制住迪亚波罗的邪恶。现在，他鲁莽的自负让我们付出了惨痛的代价。

I sit now, caged, amongst the screams and the hellfire, as I await my own end.

现在，我坐在牢笼里，周围是尖叫和地狱之火。我在等待属于我的结束。

第十一篇：2nd Day of Kathon, 1266 Anno Kehjistani

Although I had long given up hope and surrendered to my inevitable fate, the impossible happened today. I was rescued. Heroes have come to Khanduras to combat the corruption that the man I’ve come to call the Dark Wanderer has brought upon these lands. He had long since departed on some unknown mission, but they could not follow until they defeated the vile demoness Andariel, who barred the only passage east. I have decided to join them, in hopes that my knowledge of the ancient way might be of some help.

虽然我早已放弃了希望，无奈屈从于我命中注定的命运，但今天不可思议的事情还是发生了。有人来营救我了。英雄们已经来到Khanduras大陆，与这里的黑暗与堕落作战。这里的黑暗与堕落正是那个人带到这片大陆来的，我现在已开始称呼他为黑色流浪者了。他带着某些不为人知的目的已经出发离开这里很长时间了。英雄们要想追上黑色流浪者，就必须打败邪恶的女魔头安达利尔，因为她把守着通往东方的唯一通道。我决定加入他们的队伍，希望我所了解的历史知识能对他们有所帮助。
