Diablo 4 takes place following the battle against Baal in the Worldstone Keep. With Baal defeated in the battle, the Archangel Tyrael had the option of destroying the Worldstone as it had been ruined by the terrible Prime Evil during 1265. The Worldstone is then broken and scattered across the entire land.
