Each subsequent generation's powers were diminished, to the extent that they became mortal. Alone, he altered the Worldstone to diminish the powers of the nephalem. Inarius succeeded in banishing Lilith to the Void, but he was the only one of his kind left on Sanctuary. The issue led to bloodshed, as Lilith slaughtered angel and demon alike, fearing for her children's safety. Their powers exceeded those of their parents, raising concern that the nephalem might not only become a threat, but could draw the attention of Heaven or Hell to their world.

Few children of such couplings survive childbirth, and fewer still survive into adulthood, as they are generally killed by those who know them for what they are. Humans and demons are capable of interbreeding, usually to the horror of the former. Humans possess the ability to choose between good and evil, an ability that causes many angels to fear mankind.
