As such, upon the moment of its completion, the essences of five of the Evils were drawn into the Black Soulstone, and upon their respective defeats in Sanctuary, Belial and Azmodan as well. The essences of the Great Evils sans Azmodan and Belial lingered on Sanctuary, and over the years, Adria marked the essences of Baal, Mephisto, Duriel, and Andariel.

However, this was not the end, as over the next two decades, Adria enacted Diablo's master plan. However, over the sequence of events, five of the seven Evils were slain by a group of heroes, and furthermore, the spirits of the Primes banished to the Black Abyss, leaving Azmodan and Belial the last remaining Great Evils. Therefore, they endeavored to gain favor with the Lord of Terror by protecting his human host. Andariel and Duriel concluded that the Primes would inevitably reclaim their position in Hell. However, Diablo escaped his prison from beneath the Tristram Cathedral by possessing Aidan, intent on reuniting with his brothers. Reunificationīy the Darkening of Tristram, the Great Evils were still sundered-the Primes sealed on Sanctuary, while the civil war between Azmodan and Belial continued to rage. The legions of Hell that remained were polarized behind either warlord, launching themselves into a second civil war. The pact that they had made quickly fell to ashes as the two demon lords took up arms against each other. As the fires of war died down, however, Azmodan and Belial began to argue over which of them held the higher authority. Ī civil war erupted in Hell between the Prime and Lesser Evils, ending in the Lesser Evils' victory, and the banishment of the Primes to Sanctuary in what would be called the Dark Exile. That the Primes had not revealed the existence of Sanctuary to the Lesser Evils when they first discovered it prior to the Sin War had already soured relations between them and their lesser brothers, and Deckard Cain would speculate hundreds of years later that this deception added to the Lessers' decision to rebel. This deviation from the norm caused many of the Lesser Evils to question the authority of the Three, and so brought about a great rift between the Prime Evils and their servitors. The Primes turned their attention to the perversion of human souls, for they realized that mankind was key to their eventual victory over Heaven. The Sin War ended with a truth brokered between Heaven and Hell, but the events had caused a wedge between the Prime and Lesser Evils. Belial addressing Duriel and Andariel ( src)
