Shar (/ˈʃɑːr/ SHAHR)

Divine Domains

Night, Darkness, Emptiness, Shadow

Shar represents the absence of all, emotions, life, and most importantly light. The light is the ultimate in tyranny and perversion. Destroying the sanctity of the darkness, and the perfection of Oblivion.

Thievery, Trickery

Shar is the darkness that conceals the theif, and the shadow that hides the assassin’s blade. She became the patron for thiefs due to this ability to hide them and their crimes. Though she cares little for wealth, the extra homage is never harmful.

Cold

The dark is cold and void of life and light. She commands this coldness and revels in the oblivion it brings. Those that die in the cold, alone in the darkness, are said to have received her embrace.

Death, Destruction

There shall be nothing remaining of the world, no light, nor warmth, only the cold darkness of Shar.

Tenets of Faith

Never Follow hope or promises of Success

Hope and optimism are false prophets that will always lead you to despair and disappointment. Do what you will while giving no reward or mercy to another, for they would not do the same for you.

Smother the light when ever you find it, only hide when you can not prevail

The Dark is a time to act not to wait. Your knife is the sharpest, and plan is best performed in her shadow. However the tyranny of the light is strong, you must smother it carefully weakening its baleful gaze. Always prepare for its treachery, however do not fault yourself for hiding when you have an assured defeat. Entropy is a slow process, and to overstep this march is to be met with a meaningless death.

Never consort with the faithful of good deities, unless it is to corrupt them.

The deities of good are antithetical to Shar and our goals. To give their servants aid or thought is to empower them and their quests. If it is necessary to spend time with the faithful of the good, then you must corrupt them. Smother their light, and welcome them to the cold embrace of Shar.

Wealth only belongs to those who can acquire it

The world is uncaring, and its bounties are only fit for those who can acquire them. Take that which you can, and give to none. The treasures and wealth you acquire belong to you and you alone.

Holidays

The Black Night

Every New Moon

The night in which The Moon can not cast her light down to earth, allowing the followers of Char to work unabated. Kidnappings for sacrifices are common in order to build the power of Char so that she may bring about her perfect night. It is believed that Shar is the closest to the material realm during this night and thus her blessing is at its most potent. Therefore many of her followers perform their greatest undertakings during this time.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Shar is the primal dark and the shadow that shrouds the thief and assassin. She instructs her followers to destroy the light, and take from those who may do good. She longs for a world shrouded in darkness, away from the light of the sun and moon, there she may revel in the emptiness and cold it creates. A universe of perfect darkness.
