Deckard Cain, Last of the Horadrim, is an NPC in Act 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Services: Identify.
I've not set foot in glorious Kurast for many years. But I never would have imagined it could be so corrupted. Certainly, this must be Mephisto's work! You'd best get going, my friend. Diablo and Baal are still out there and you must find them.
Can you believe this place? Did you ever dare to dream that you'd one day stand upon the crossroads between Heaven and Hell? This Pandemonium Fortress is truly miraculous. However, your journey is not yet over. Diablo still roams free in Hell, marshalling his demonic forces. Only when he is beaten will our world finally have peace. Hurry now... the sands of time slow for no one!
I am amazed to find this place so untouched. Everything else in the path of Baal the Lord of Destruction lies in ruin. These Barbarians must indeed be the legendary guardians of Mount Arreat. They are a proud, hardy people. Don't expect to be greeted warmly -- strangers here rarely are. Perhaps I can gain their trust. I'll spend some time with the townsfolk and try to understand them better. I'll let you know what I discover.
