Shevarash
(a.k.a. The Black Archer, the Night Hunter)
Shevarash is the taciturn, violent, elven god of revenge. He is consumed by thoughts of bitterness and vengeance. He never displays any emotion aside from anger and a brief exultation or triumph after each victory. The Black Archer has no patience for those who do not share his zeal for vengeance, and he has no interest in moderating his crusade in the interests of peace. The Black Archer often acts in anticipation of an attack by the drow on a relatively undefended elven settlement, or, if he reacts too late to prevent a repeat of the slaughter that still haunts him, Shevarash sends agents to pursue the dark elves back into the Underdark and hunts them down until they are dead.
Shevarash believes that the greatest enemy of the Seldarine is Lolth, who sought the corruption of Arvandor and the overthrow of Corellon Larethian. The largest enemy of the Elves is the drow, the debased followers of the Spider Queen who long ago were enmeshed in her dark web. Redemption and revenge may be achieved only through the utter destruction of the drow and the dark deities they serve.
The Black Archer is closely allied with the Seldarine, particularly the more militant powers, although none of the elven gods are as consumed with hatred and vengeance as he is. Although Shevarash considers Fenmarel Mestarine his superior, the Lone Wolf and the Black Archer share little in common aside from their mutual hatred of the drow. Of the rest of the Seldarine, Shevarash works closely with Corellon Larethian and Solonor Thelandira in particular, but the other two powers are more concerned with defending elven realms than bringing the war into the tunnels of the drow, much to the Black Archer's frustration.
