Spoilers ahead
I gather tyrael is dead in d4 from old age since he didnt come to his brothers rescue but that aside, why did he melt into the ground when Lilith ripped his wings off instead of becoming a mortal?

I think the angels reform just like the evils do. That’s why it’s the eternal conflict. His essence will return eventually if I understand the lore correctly. Tyreal is dead because he became mortal and maybe because he ripped his own wings off to fall from Heaven. I don’t think the wings on or off is mortal/immortal.

The death of an angel in Hell could cause a different reaction. Hell claimed his remains
Tyrael is in no way dead. They won’t waste his death off screen so until he dies on screen he is well and alive .
Lyndon who was an NPC in D3 is alive and well in Backwater and haven’t died from old age and therefore no way Tyrael have died either .
My guess is he will re-emerge next expansion perhaps he will be the one to introduce us to some new Light wielding class like paladin, crusader , knight etc.
Tyrael is too iconic to the franchise to die from old age off screen lol. No way he died

I actually didnt remember Lyndon in ds3. Who was that again?
I believe he’s the rogue/thief companion.

Oh I never once used him, or interacted with him outside of challenge completion. Prolly why I forgot him. So that debunks my tyrael being dead theory.
But doesnt explain why he didnt seek out Inarius. There is no way one of the angerius council, a mortal at that, would NOT have gone looking.
He died in Hell and will likely return corrupted as an antagonist in an expansion. We don’t know yet what happened to Tyrael. He may not age like average mortals, maybe more like nephalem of old. He may also have somehow regained his angelic form. Nobody knows for sure.

I’d imagine his duties as the founder of the reborn Horadrim kept him pretty busy, to be honest.
He also may not… get along with Inarius? Inarius makes it pretty hard to like the guy.
He also may have successfully found him and was ostracized for choosing to be a mortal, meaning Tyrael might not have cared for him after that.
I thought Lothar put something in mortal tyraels headstone… d4 is supposed to be 50 years after d3
Heaven turned their back on Inarius and viewed him as a traitor. It’s quite possible no one cared to look for him.

Your name is awesome btw.
I read the malazan series like 5 times, first in release order and then in the chronological order.

The developers never said that it was Tyraels grave and Lorath never referred to Tyrael as “brother” in D3.
Correct even Inarius regretted what he had done. If Imperious had issues with Tyrael he would never let a renegade back into the high heavens. By the time of D4 heaven had closed its gates (they need to rebuild).

Didn’t Inarius complain about Heaven not accepting him shortly before his death? As if he’d completed what he thought it would take and they still rejected him? Could have something to do with why he died how he did, that and being killed by a demon in hell.
Inarius got what was coming to him.

He was delusional and thought Rathma’s prophecy applied to him but it did not. I would like to know how he escaped the chamber of mirrors.
There’s nothing to actually indicate that Inarius is dead. He’s stuck in the realm of hatred, but he was already stuck there for a long time before. The first time he was held captive there against his will, but now he truly belongs there as a fallen angel that did horrible things for his own selfish ends. He will most likely return in a future expansion as a demon or antagonist.

If they do to Tyrael what they did to Deckard Cain you might prefer that he die off screen instead.

I would say that disintegrating is a good indication that he is gone. He never became a corrupted fallen angel who turned on his brothers unlike Izual so why would he be reborn as one. In Diablo lore Angels are beings of light and sound with the exception of tyreal now. So why would he come back as a demon of flesh and bone?
So in traditional Jewish/Islamic/Christian mythology demons are literally just sinful or fallen angels. I know Diablo has its own universe but it’s still influenced by the Abrahamic mythology. Inarius’ story arch as the fallen angel that ends up in hell due to his own sins and transgressions just seems too intentional to be coincidence, and just another way for the writers to further blur the lines between angel and demon.
