	The Summoning Dark is first mentioned in ''[[Thud!]]'', where it plays a major role. It is called into [[Ankh-Morpork]] by a dwarf who is stabbed, locked up and left to die beneath the city by the [[Dark Guards]], most likely by order of Grag [[Hamcrusher]] or [[Ardent]]. The Dark was scrawled on the door that had been locked by the Dark Guards in the blood of the dying dwarf. This inscription is found by [[Angua]] and [[Sally von Humpeding]] of the Watch in their investigation into the murder of Hamcrusher.

	The '''Summoning Dark''' is a pan-dimensional creature and spirit of vengeance from dwarf mythology. The Dark's [[mine sign]] rune is described as like "a floating eyeball with a curly tail". The Summoning dark is one of various "Darks" that occur in dwarfish mines - among these are the Following Dark, the Calling Dark, and the Long Dark. The Summoning Dark is described as the worst of the Darks, something a dwarf would call upon only in the most desperate of circumstances. Traditionally, light keeps the Dark at bay - for example, in [[Thud!]], the dwarfs of the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]] place candles around a version of the sign in order to contain it.

	[[Mustrum Ridcully]] told the [[Havelock Vetinari\|Patrician]] that he believed the summoning Dark to be be a quasi-demonic entity that was untold millions of years old. It came into being at the beginning of the multiverse, but as it drifted near no major accretion of belief (such as the gods), it tumbled through the void, semi-sentient and bereft of purpose.

The '''Summoning Dark''' is a pan-dimensional creature and spirit of vengeance from dwarf mythology. The Dark's [[mine sign]] rune is described as like "a floating eyeball with a curly tail". The Summoning dark is one of various "Darks" that occur in dwarfish mines - among these are the Following Dark, the Calling Dark, and the Long Dark. The Summoning Dark is described as the worst of the Darks, something a dwarf would call upon only in the most desperate of circumstances. Traditionally, light keeps the Dark at bay - for example, in [[Thud!]], the dwarfs of the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]] place candles around a version of the sign in order to contain it.

[[Mustrum Ridcully]] told the [[Havelock Vetinari|Patrician]] that he believed the summoning Dark to be be a quasi-demonic entity that was untold millions of years old. It came into being at the beginning of the multiverse, but as it drifted near no major accretion of belief (such as the gods), it tumbled through the void, semi-sentient and bereft of purpose.
