Throughout the years, these Barbarians served as guardians over the Cube, keeping it safe from prying eyes and those who would use its powers for evil.

As such, they created the weaker Horadric Cube in its stead, and entrusted the first Cube to a secret organization of Barbarians on Mount Arreat, who kept it safe from everyone, including the rest of their tribe. Of all the Horadrim, only Kulle objected to the abandonment of the device. That it had to be hidden from anyone, including them. Aware of the dangers of corruption, and of the Cube's marred design, the Order determined that it was too dangerous for anyone to continue using it. Every initiative or action required it, and those who survived its creation became increasingly haunted by its presence. In time, the Cube became the center of Horadric works. įor an extended period of time, the Horadrim used the Cube as they hunted the Prime Evils. The Cube was completed, but was marred by the dark methods used to complete it and disastrous results.

Such an artifact came in the form of a device simply called "the Cube." Designed by Zoltun Kulle the Horadrim forged the Cube over a period of weeks, as smiths hammered and mages chanted, feeling their sanity slipping all the while.
