No No No. His Sin War Trilogy rewtire huge parts of canonical lore from the games. BLizzard have stated that what he wrote is now the offical ore. Even more so than the games.
He didn't rewrite any of the Sin War Trilogy after it was published.
Okay, thanks for answering. I appreciate that. I read after I posted this that this lore is in the game manuals. I am one of those people who throw game manuals in the "read me if need be" pile and use them for reference only. I see that by doing this I missed some interesting aspects of the game. I can't find the D1 or D2 manuals now and I believe they may have been left at my last house. I guess I'll just order the battle chest in order to reclaim them. All the manuals are in there, aren't they?
I have all the Diablo books and I've read them all. I thought they were great. I've been thinking of reading the Sin War books again.
If Knaak rewrote large portions of the ending of The Sin War Trilogy as Elfen Lied says in the "should demons have genitals" thread, then what was the copyright year, and who was the publisher of the original publications? In my collection, Birthright shows its copyright as 2006, where Scales of the Serpent and The Vieled Prophet show 2007 copyrights. None of the books list any prior copyrights or publications, which is unusual if there were.

Zayl will be in Diablo III as an NPC. Any bets against that?
It is no doubt that I would love to see him there - maintaining the Balance as ever he does! I would also hope he has Humbart with him. What a pair!
In The Sin War Trilogy, I found myself wholly drawn in by the character Mendeln, later renamed Kalan by Trag'Oul.
