Vizjerei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vizjerei is a clan of mages from the fictional Diablo universe who generally lived within the jungles of Kurast. The Vizjerei is one of the largest mage clans in Sanctuary that replaced the Taan mage clan which was thought to follow the Skatsimi religion that was later replaced by the Zakarum religion. Since their battle with Diablo, Lord of Terror featured in the original Diablo game the Vizjerei mage clans has been largely decimated, giving the Zann Esu mage clans their chance to triumph.

[edit] History

In the third century, two brothers rose to dominance from within the ranks of the Vizjerei clan of mages; their names were Horazon and Bartuc. They were both interested in demonic magicks but differed in their thoughts on how best to control such magicks. Their difference eventually cause a rift within the Vizjerei mage clan that sparked a war between the two factions. After much destruction, the mage clan was greatly reduced, Bartuc was killed and Horazon went into self-imposed exile. The survivors of the Vizjerei vowed to forever spurn the demonic magicks and set about to create an order whose sole purpose was to insure such an incident can never happen a second time. Thus the Viz-Jag'taar, the Order of the Mage Slayers was formed. (The Assassins from Diablo II: Lord of Destruction are from this order)
