Overview
Baal is the most feared demonic entity. Raw power manifests through overwhelming destructive force. The Lord of Destruction does not corrupt creation—annihilates it, finding purpose in obliteration. Baal views all beings—demonic and celestial—as mere tools for universal annihilation.
"Baal seeks not dominion but dissolution. Not rule but ruin." — Final Testament of the Horadrim
Origins & Essence
Baal emerged from Tathamet's seven heads—the head representing Destruction. Among the Seven Great Evils, Baal is the oldest and most powerful. Baal is cosmic dissolution itself, representing an ongoing threat to reality's stability.
Nature of Destruction
Baal's destruction is absolute and indiscriminate, annihilating Heaven and Hell equally. Methods include raw power application, reality unraveling, Worldstone corruption, and dimensional collapse.
The Worldstone Plot
Baal's most ambitious scheme involved corrupting the Worldstone itself. Success would have drawn all creation into the Burning Hells and caused fundamental reality unraveling. The Horadrim prevented this catastrophe by mere moments.
Power Among Evils
Among all demonic entities, Baal stands supreme. In raw power and destructive capability, Baal surpasses all others combined. Diablo matches in cunning, Mephisto in intrigue, yet Baal dominates in direct power.
