The final installment of the Diablo IV short story collection, ‘On Nightmare’s Wings,’ has just been released. Written by five-time Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, the story follows Lorath as he travels through a cold night, pursued by a mysterious shadow, haunted by feelings of guilt and failure.
The story, available as both a video and an illustrated PDF, sees Lorath make his way to the Tree of Whispers, where the dangling heads taunt him and Elias shows him a vision of a horrific future.
The story, narrated by The Oracle Queen, shows Lorath at his most weakened and vulnerable. His visit to The Tree of Whispers turns out to have been merely a nightmare, but the themes of regret and failure are just as powerful, and the sense of a dreadful future for Lorath, and perhaps for all of Sanctuary, remains strong, as the story concludes with the same chilling words as the two previous stories, ‘Something terrible is coming.’
