Jeg har været igang med at læse "Book of Cain" og kom til at tænke på hvorfor er det lige at The Black Soulstone er sort?

Jeg prøvede derfor at google om der måske var andre der havde gjort sig nogle tanker om dette og er faldet over et interessant post på den officielle D3 side.

I've a feeling I've came up with an idea no one thought about yet.

From The Book of Cain, about the Black Soulstone:
A vessel capable of harnessing the essences of both Angels and Demons. Zoltun Kulle would then use this Black Soulstone, filled with rage and hope, fear and valor, as a substitute for his own black and empty heart.

I asked myself one question: why is the Black Soulstone actually black, if it is supposed to keep both demonic and angelic essences? Because it currently holds only demonic essences!

But still, why black? Personal theory starting now: Mephisto had a blue one, Diablo a red one, Baal a yellow one. Each Evil had a color corresponding to it's nature. So why is it black? Because it holds the combined essences of the "dead" Evils. If each Evil has a corresponded color, then the sum of their colors have to give the Black color of Tathamet, the opposite of white "Anu".

Now we come to the Black Soulstone trailer. Azmodan tells Leah that he knows that the Black Soulstone is the key... and that he will not fall to the trap as the rest of the Evils did. Key to what? If the Black Soulstone holds the combined essences of the dead Evils (Duriel, Andariel, Baal, Mephisto, Diablo) and if the last two Evils (Azmodan, Belial) were to join them inside the Black Soulstone it would mean that the Stone holds the full essence of Tathamet. If one powerful individual were to... Insert the Black Soulstone inside one's body, the way to resurrecting Tathamet would be clear. But can really Tathamet be brought back? I doubt it. The best result would be a combination of the Evils. But who would be dominant?

Diablo would be.

If this theory is true, how did the essences of the Evils got caught inside the Stone in the first place? It was arranged. It was masterminded by Diablo, who seeks to gain supreme power at the cost of the rest of his brethren. And how would he become dominant? Through Leah. If Leah (because of being conceived after Diablo got inside Aidan) has a little fragment of Diablo inside her, he may use it to his advantage. It also explains why Azmodan is talking to Leah as if talking to an equal.

But why Azmodan wants to prevent it? Because he would loose his identity, he would become a less significant part of a greater whole. He is the Lord of Sin and pride is one of the gravest sins.

The image of a "three-headed" Diablo (seen in the first DIII cinematic) gives some credibility to the theory that the essences of the Evils got somehow combined.

Synes bestem det er en god antagelse at farven skyldes at den kun indholder demons og ingen engle.
Andre der har tænkt på noget?

Jeg tror ikke, det er noget, de umiddelbart har givet så meget omtanke, andet end at det ville være mærkeligt, hvis det var én af farverne fra de oprindelige soulstones. At den er sort, ser jeg som et artistisk udtryk for, at den indeholder ondskab. Og ja; stykker af Tathamet

Men interessant at den også kan indeholde angel souls.

Ikke desto mindre håber jeg, at der kommer bare en anelse mere kød på historien i kommende expansion packs. Det var næsten helt tåkrummende i D3.
