It was also used to shield his lair, the [[Durance of Hate]].<br /> <br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> ==Background==<br /> [[File:Compelling_Orb.jpg|left|thumb|The Compelling Orb.]]<br /> The Orb was used to great effect turning the whole city of [[Kurast]] and great number of followers into mindless fanatics for a cause they did never truly believe in, at least not supporting a [[Prime Evil]] like [[Mephisto]].<br /> <br /> <br /> What the Lord of Hatred created the Compelling Orb with is unknown, but [[Deckard Cain]] explains to the [[hero]]es that only a mace forged by the one righteous priest of Zakarum can destroy it, revealing Mephisto's lair (the [[Durance of Hate]]) and release the priests and followers of the [[Zakarum]] from the [[demon]]'s powers.<br /> <br /> <br /> The heroes forge the [[Khalim's Will (Item)|Khalim's Will]] mace using body parts of the former [[Que-Hegan]] called [[Khalim]] in the [[Horadric Cube]] and killed the [[High Council of Zakarum]] before smashing the Orb, and gaining access to the Durance of Hate.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> The Compelling Orb has only been used once, and that is in [[Diablo II]]. How Mephisto made it, and if it would be possible to make one again is unknown.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * [[Diablo II]] game dialogues.</div>
