Church of Shar
Tenets of Faith
Shar's faithful were taught to transcend fear and loss suffered by members of the weaker faiths. Their most valuable commodity was their secrecy. Information was closely guarded and only revealed when it was absolutely essential, or traded for similarly confidential information. Each member of the church maintained their "Own Secret" with Shar, pertaining to their proof of devotion to her service.
Clergy members followed Shar's 'Thirteen Truths', foundational beliefs that formed the core of their faith. Among these were:
Love is a lie. Only hate endures.
Light is blinding. Only in darkness do we see clearly.
Hidden with a holy Sharran tome was Shar's Fourteenth Truth:
All is meaningless. And nothing endures.

Pain. Hope. The promise of better days. All of these are heavy cloaks that bend our backs and burden our hearts. We shed those cloaks. Before Shar we stand gloriously naked, beyond the vanities of mortals.
