Diablo: Tales of Sanctuary #[nn]

In "Rage," a young boy journeys to the secluded hermit Azgar, a druid turned werebear, to beg for help against Baal's demons threatening his village. Haunted by guilt over believing he killed his brother years ago, Azgar has lived in exile—until the boy’s desperate plea forces him to confront his past. The story follows his final, fierce stand, and the quiet, unexpected grace of forgiveness that follows.

In the grim ruins beneath the Castle of Kanemith, lone barbarian Renit and the enigmatic necromancer Cairo face a horde of undead while hunting the fabled Hand of Naz. When Renit claims the artifact and abandons Cairo to her fate, he is consumed by the very spirits he summoned—bound to the gauntlet as the spirit king’s new vessel. Cairo returns, not as a victim, but as a master who unravels the curse and claims the spirits’ knowledge for herself.

In "Hatred's Bride," Hale, a man haunted by his past, rescues Bay, a young peasant girl, after the goatmen slaughter her father. Taken to the Zakarum Cathedral for safety, he soon suspects the priests’ devotion hides a darker truth—when Bay screams his name in the dead of night, he uncovers a horrifying conspiracy in the cathedral’s crypt, where fallen clergy prepare to sacrifice her to Mephisto. With the curate fleeing through a portal and the cathedral ablaze, Hale vows to tear down the faith that betrayed them both.
