Lilith and the council were present in the Temple of the Firstborn when Kalmor arrived, having been summoned to account for the death of Bersarik. Altars dedicated to Lilith were erected by the Ancients. The nephalem in turn produced their own offspring. Linarian was the first of these new beings called " nephalem", but was not the last, as the pair's fellow angels and demons also produced offspring of their own. The union of angel and demon was without precedent, as was the birth of their offspring. Inarius, initially horrified at the creature they had created, was unable to back out of the ritual, and played his part in moulding the clay alongside Lilith, basing it around their own image. Her blood mingled with the clay, and an umbilical nurtured the amalgam, severing as her lifestream passed from herself to the amalgam.

Lilith eagerly reached out for her progeny, but recoiled as her son's hand brushed against her tentacled barbs. Each placed their hand on the altar and spoke a vow, their blood and light mixing to form a clay figure. Lilith and Inarius gave birth to a son they would name Linarian at the Altar of Rites. Inarius and Lilith give birth to the nephalem Lilith intended to show him that, in time, victory was possible. Inarius was satisfied, believing that escape from the war was sufficient. Lilith and Inarius ruled their realm with a council of angels and demons, residing inside the structure that would become known as the Temple of the Firstborn. A new world, Sanctuary, was created, a place where they and their kind could find respite from the Eternal Conflict. The pair rallied like-minded followers and stole the Worldstone from the Pandemonium Fortress. She could tell that Inarius was besotted with her, and told him that they had to steal the Worldstone, to use it to create a new world. Lilith began to see Inarius as an individual she could manipulate towards her ends, and she gave Inarius her name. The angel, named Inarius, awoke and rambled incoherently about his desire to escape the Eternal Conflict. To her surprise, her touch breathed new life into him. In one such battle, Lilith took an angel as a prisoner and brought him to her lair for amusement. As the Eternal Conflict dragged on, Lilith tired of her father's approach to the conflict, and took an equally dim view on the leadership of Diablo and Baal, along with her brother, Lucion.
