I was under the impression that in the Diablo universe, all consciousness had a metaphysical form after death; I believe this is why you see the Prime Evilâs spirits leave their hosts body. The Prime Evils exist as consciousnesses on another dimension of reality consisting of pure energy, which happens to be Hell. I donât even think the Prime Evils have or ever had a physical body, but because they found a way to subvert their souls into a soul-stone and corrupt people, they can take on a physical form that best represents their imagined image of themselves, however twisted that may be.
Now demons and the like should not be able to enter the Prime Material World. I can only assume that once the Prime Evil entered the PMW, they corrupted the area around them to such a degree, that the physical manifestation of demons formed, if not from the Prime Evils themselves then directly from the fears of people (meaning it was peoples own fears and ideas of what the demons were that brought the demons to life). This is all part of quantum physics.
In the Diablo universe, the worldstone was what separated the PMW from the other dimension of pure (evil) energy, a dimension we cannot even comprehend. Assuming your conscious energy traveled into the afterlife and went to its proper spot (negative, neutral, or positive energy; hell, limbo, heaven â respectively), then with the worldstone destroyed demon consciousnesses would freely roaming the world of Sanctuary! People would be getting possessed left and right and if the demon were killed, they could just possess someone new or reform in a matter of days because the new home for their souls would be Sanctuary (scary thought). Also, this would mean that the three Prime Evils would return indefinitely, probably getting more powerful with the more fear that swept the land.
Yes, Diablo III should be a very interesting game!

It always seemed to me that hell was a real place like earth, except that really evil dead souls went there, and that there was another region where neutral souls and souls of things that die in hell and heaaven go, so that other place is where the prime evil souls go. All the worldstone destruction mean is that there won't need to be portals to hell, or that they would be much easier to make, and the earth/hell and earth/heaven connections would be like how the heaven/hell connection is in D2.
Either way, it sould be an interesting storyline.
As a side note, before getting getting the expansion but after reading the storyline and playing regular D2, I though that after beating Baal that there would be a cinematic where Reziarfg would be released into the earth realm, and that reziarfg was what Baal was trying to release by destroying the worldstone, since reziarfg sounded even more powerful than the prime evils.
