* Following the fall of the Conquerors, Zana can't take it anymore and goes into self exile. For years she has tried to contain the power of the Atlas, trying desperately to warn others of the corruptive, mind warping power it possesses if exploited too much, but no one listened to her, and now five of her closest friends and companions are dead after having been twisted into monsters by the very power she desperately tried to stop. Its little wonder she can no longer handle being the steward of the Atlas after all the pain its caused her.
** FridgeHorror sets in when you remember that Jun had an obvious crush on Zana. Imagine how she must feel over all this.

---->'''Sin:''' It was never meant to transpire this way... My Beast was born to be a thing of beauty. A crowning jewel to rest upon humanity's head. I... I wanted to give your kind a chance for peace, a chance to play atop the great stage. No longer pawns to a pantheon of petty, slavering gods... It was only ever defending itself, the fault lies within the twisted hearts of those who would betray their own humanity. Not even I could anticipate the cataclysms my pet wrought on Wraeclast. Both Vaal and Eternal. Ruins in the pages of history. And the others... trailing back across the aeons. There is blood on my hands, exile, the innocent blood of millions, and try as I might, the stains just won't wash off.

* 20 years after the final boss is slain, corruption and decadence still reign supreme in Oriath. Everything the protagonists did, all their adventures, simply stalled the return of man's inhumanity to man, and did nothing to the spreading corruption in Wraeclast.
