After being rescued by them, Adria tells she planned to use the Black Soulstone to contain the essence of all the Great Evils and destroy them. Cain then realized she had been searching for the Black Soulstone.ĭuring their travel to Caldeum, which had been sieged by Belial, the archangel Tyrael, the Nephalem and Leah find Adria in the city sewers, cornered by Belial's minion. He eventually learned that Adria passed through the Great Library of Caldeum, seeking information on the Desolate Sands and the ruins of the Cathedral of Light. However, he doubted it, as he continued to sense Adria's presence nearby, though he was unable to locate her. Arreat, Cain received a report on Adria's death. Seven years after the destruction of the Worldstone at Mt. After giving a scroll to Cain, Adria once again vanished. During his travels in pursuit of the Dark Wanderer, Deckard Cain briefly met with Adria, which is when he learned of Leah's existence. She left Leah in Gillian's care and departed. The two traveled to Caldeum, where Adria gave birth to Leah. She also left the village shortly afterwards, along with the barmaid Gillian. The two spent many nights alone, and when Aidan left Tristam (now wearing the guise of the Dark Wanderer), Adria talked with Cain, telling him that Aidan left to the west. As it turned out, Aidan had plunged Diablo's soulstone into his head, in an attempt to contain Diablo's essence within him. When Adria looked at Aidan, she saw the image of Diablo on him. One of them was Aidan, son of King Leoric, who was visibly traumatized by the experience, so he sought solace with Adria. Deckard Cain was the only one who approached her, as the two exchanged their knowledge on arcane texts.Īll adventurers who came to Tristam would either flee or die in the depths of the cathedral, but one day three adventurers returned, having defeated the source of the evil there: none other than Diablo, the Lord of Terror. Many of the villagers feared her, as she made no secret of being a witch. There, she offered her help to the adventurers who sought to fight the evil coming from the monastery in the edge of town, seeing this as an opportunity to get some gold and magical artifacts. Years later, Adria decided to leave the order, around the same time as the Darkening of Tristam.Īdria moved to Tristam after hearing of the events transpiring there, building a hut in the outskirts of the town seemingly overnight. She eventually joined the Coven, an order of witches, along with Maghda, and the two eventually became the leaders of the order. Wandering in the wilderness, Adria was quickly labeled a witch by those she encountered. She was the daughter of a merchant of kingsport named Severin, who neglected her, and after he died when their house was caught in a fire she vanished. Very little is known from Adria's past, mostly due to her usually avoiding the subject.
