Editing Continuity/Sendings of Darkness (section)

=== Third Sending ===
Fivefold Curse:
:''The Darkness shall send then<br />A knowledge:<br />A power to bring destruction<br />For Alaidain's blood shall be<br />The death of the people''
Heretical Prophecy:
:''Then shall the light gain its wisdom<br />And Champion.<br />For Alaidain's blood shall be<br />The savior of the people''

The events being described in both prophecies seems to be Asheron's rediscovery of Planar magic which was used to defeat Bael'Zharon. "Alaidain's Blood" refers to Asheron, himself being a descendant of Alaidain. Being the death of the people in one version and the savior of the people in the other would seem to be referring to his involvement with the Olthoi invasion, and his casting of the Sundering to save the remaining Empyrean. The "power to bring destruction" could be referring to planar magic being used to defeat Bael'Zharon, or planar magic bringing about the Olthoi, or possibly both.
<br /><br />
The one oddity here is that, in the Fivehold Curse, it seems to state that Darkness sent this knowledge to Asheron. The Heretical Prophecy is less clear on this, it simply says that the light gained this knowledge.

Regardless of how Asheron rediscovered planar magic, it it is the opinion of the [[user:An Adventurer|editor]] that the Third Sending is the period of time which began with the defeat of Bael'Zharon, the increased use of planar magic, and the eventual downfall of the Empyrean at the claws of the Olthoi, which led Asheron to cast the Sundering.
