| The Sendings of Darkness are times in the history of [[Auberean]] involving the Shadows. Unfortunately there is not a more precise definition of what constitutes a Sending, since we only know what the third and fourth one were, and the fifth Sending which occurred as part of the [[Asheron's Call 2]] backstory is no longer considered the future of AC1.

In AC2, the Fifth Sending of Darkness was the return of Bael'Zharon which culminated in the Battle of Kings.{{Specific Citation Needed}}
