The world was once a peace since the Greater Three and the Lesser Four had retreated from their underground lair under the cathedral of Tristram. Rumours says that one of the Greater Three has yet to be captured and disarmed and still, to this very day, lives under the church. Townspeople were slayed and made slaves and even cooks in kitchens were killed. King Leoric, who summoned numerous brave men to explore into the dark cathedral were kill brutely. Finally, Leoric himself led 1000 elite soldiers and necromancers to strip the Lord of its power. Unexpectedly, the king himself was brought under the control of the Dark powers and went mad. He was never seen since then. According to the ancient scraps of paper left in the cathedral, the only Lord left is The Dark Lord, Diablo. Ancient spells had been created to curb Diablo of his evergrowing Dark army.

However, the priests of Horadrim had no chance to tried them out as a strange disease wiped out the whole of Horadrim, leaving scrolls and books of Arcane knowlegde in the cathedral.
Griswold had tried several times with Cain to retrieve the scrolls and books, but in vain. Adria the witch is the only one that can retrieve small number of knowledge. Recently, heroes from far lands came to assist in the mission to destroy the Lord. Use Arcane knowledge to defeat Diablo. Long-Lost spells are the most powerful of all, says Cain.You are the chosen one

==============================================
Hi, I am Kiddie. I made this section. Please see below.
Monsters
There are no new images cause this is our 1st Mod. However, Much of the names had been changed. Places of the monsters in the dungeons had been altered such as storm lord in dungeons, blood knights in dungeons, devin kin Brute in catacombs, Unraveler in caves. You will be astonished at times.
If u are thinking the normal Diablo game is too easy, this Mod will make it a bit harder.Rogue: Keep a distance from the enemies and attack one at a time.Warrior: Buy healing potions and keep trying to combat enemies in front of a door, using it as a choke point to ensure that you are attacking one enemy at a time.
Sorcerer: Use your magic. Arcane knowledge in the dungeons are now to your great advantage. You are able to find books of greater power. See spell section for more information on spells........; >
====================================================
Hi, I'm Back. Stan. I made this section together with May and Kiddie.
Items
Due to the stronger monsters and demons in the deep lybrinth, more powerful weapons and armors had been created to pit against the Dark. In this mod, we changed some basic items and also increased their damage slightly. Uniques had been created for more fun and power. More uniques had been made to curse its owner, giving him/her 0% light radius, -10 attributes, and so on. Others boost you such as adding % damage and attributes. Of all these uniques, there are 4 of which that are the most unusual.
They are:
NightCloak: -500% light radius, 25 armor, +5 dexterity
Kacddmmana: Steals 40% mana from hits
Dracula: Steals 40% Life from hits???: This sword had been long lost since the last of the warriors in The Sin War were killed. Find out for yourself the properties.
==================================================
Save File Names
We made Diablo save single player games and multiplayer games with a different file name than single_0.sv or dlinfo_0.srv.We made it save as arcane_0.sv and darcane_0.srv, so don't worry, it will not overwrite your existing save files.
==================================================
Please tell us if there are any bugs. Thank You.
