A New Perspective - Unique Changes in Scenery Showcase Art in Diablo IV
No matter where you turn, players have been raving about the art of Diablo IV — down to every snow covered blade of grass swaying in the bitter wind. It's clear that the art team for Diablo IV pulled out all the stops, giving us a darkly beautiful hellscape to play through as we scour Sanctuary for Lilith and her demonic hordes.

Keen eyed players may have noticed, in certain important locations, a small demonic rune made of Lilith's blood petals.
