The Purge was the event during which Lilith, fearful that Inarius would slay the nephalem, slaughtered every angel and demon rebel on Sanctuary in order to stay Inarius' hand. The event led to the changing of the Worldstone, whereby Inarius altered the giant artifact to diminish the powers of the nephalem over the generations. He also banished Lilith to the void, where she would remain imprisoned until the Sin War.[1]
