High Heavens

From Diablo Wiki

The High Heavens are the spiritual location of the forces on the side of light. The armies of Heaven are commanded by the Archangels of the Angiris Council.

The war between Heaven and Hell has been raging long before the existence of mortals. Both sides have gained and lost much from the conflict. Heaven's main goal is the abolition of pain, suffering and sin, whereas Hell would love to enslave mortal man in a wrath of destruction and sin. Heaven has an agenda of preserving absolute, perfect order and harmony amongst all beings. Heaven protects humanity from the corruption, greed and destruction caused by the Burning Hells. They wage a Holy war against everything that the Prime Evils stand for.

The citizens of the High Heavens are the Angels, and they are lead by the Archangels which normally are stronger than the average Angel. These Archangels together form the Angiris Council; they set the rules of the High Heavens that the Angels follow and live by.

The landmark of the High Heavens is the Crystal Arch, a probable analogue to the Burning Hell's Hellforge.
