After the conclusion of events in D2X, including the slaying of Baal, his vast armies remained a threat to the Barbarian lands even after Baal's death. Their threat was ended by the explosion of the Worldstone, which destroyed Mount Arreat, blasting Arreat Crater, an explosion that devastated the remainder of Baal's forces and ended their siege of a major Barbarian city.
The events of Diablo 3 pick up twenty years later, shortly after a fiery meteor falls from the sky and crashes into the Tristram Cathedral, blasting a deep hole down into the catacombs below. It's not known if the meteor is the source of the demonic evil, or if perhaps the meteor brings a hero to fight the demons, which rise to challenge him/it. (Common rumor speculates that [[TyrelTyrael]] falls to Sanctuary in the form of the fiery meteor.)
