Shar

Mistress of the Night, the Lady of Loss, Nightsinger

Shar is the embodiment of the idea that where light exists, so too does darkness. Twin to the goddess Selûne, Shar is a goddess of darkness, loss, and secrets. The church of the Mistress of the Night is one of subversion, seeking to recruit into the faith through the upheaval of life, home, community, and government. As much a secret society as a religious sect, the church of Shar basks in the cold evil of its goddess’s unfeeling embrace.
To Sharran clergy, the Feast of the Moon is celebrated as the Rising of the Dark. The usually autonomous followers gather on this date to perform a blood sacrifice and receive direction for the plots their goddess desires. It is one of the few instances where Sharrans gather predictably.
Most cities in Faerûn have no publicly known shrines to Shar. Worshippers often conceal their faith to perform crafty machinations in secrecy.
