Ngl the fact that apparently Rathma has been dead for literal years by the time Lilith gets inside his temple is honestly so sad?

Like she has no idea until she’s standing before his corpse that she was too late. She was always too late and there is absolutely nothing she could’ve done to get to him in time. He’s been dead for years and she’s only been back in sanctuary for a few weeks. Even if he would’ve let her save him, she never would’ve had the chance to.

It really puts the confrontation between Lilith and Inarius in the final act into perspective imo? Lilith is struggling with the fresh grief of her son’s death while Inarius has been applauding himself and patting himself on the back for it for years. Like no wonder he dismissed her words about Rathma so easily. He’s convinced himself he did the right thing years ago and you can’t overturn years of telling yourself you’re in the right with a single conversation.

It’s just. GAH. It makes me feel so much sympathy for Lilith, and hate Inarius even more.

#diablo 4 spoilers #Lilith #inarius #Rathma #in case you’re curious #if you complete brother orlins dialogue chain in act one when you go meet inarius you learn the confrontation between him and Rathma #was years prior based on the priest saying “he has meditated on the prophecy for years and years here ever since #meanwhile you learn that Lilith has only been back in sanctuary for a few weeks from a quest chain in hawezar that unlocks after you finish #the act in hawezar #you basically get asked to track down a Zakarum priest who’s been missing for a couple weeks #and spoiler said priest turns out to be the black priest in the trailer where Elias summons Lilith back into sanctuary #he’s only been gone for a few weeks ergo Lilith has only been back for a few weeks
