JOURNAL
Wretched Mother
I, Deckard Cain, have spent many years traveling and writing about the strange creatures in our world, but the sight of the wretched mothers still haunts me. They are the remnants of Queen Asylla's slaughtered handmaidens, who were twisted by foul magic. Now they feast upon cadavers and regurgitate them as newly formed risen dead.
Templar: I do not understand how evil walks in the day. Should it not fear the light?
Templar: Well, this is a dismal sight...

Captain Rumford: Thank you for your help. But, could you talk some sense into Leah? She won't give up on the idea of rescuing her uncle.

We have come at last to Tristram's old cathedral. This is where Diablo, lord of terror, first corrupted mankind. This is where I may finally find the answers I seek. Leah worries after my safety, but I believe information vital to defeating the last lords of the Burning Hells can be found here.
