Shar is a greater deity of pain, loss, and darkness. Feared across the realm as a dark, manipulative trickster who takes and collects foolish souls as prizes, commonly displaying them as puppets who hang from fleshy, stringy tethers. Shar was described as a tall, beautiful humanoid with dark black hair, and when visiting mortals in dreams, her dark hair would move and swirl regardless of gravity or outside forces. It's been said that Shar is one of many powerful, corrupt living embodiments of the void, the perfect nothing that existed before she was born. The emptiness that she originally reflected had itself been erased at the start of time, and she longed to return to the ancient calm of nonexistence. By her very nature, Shar was defined by loss, the foolishness of hope, and the basic principle that life was a joke. Shar remains a deeply twisted and perverse being of ceaseless, petty hate and envy. Although Shar once confessed to being a healer, soothing the grief-stricken by letting them forget their woes, she was in truth a sadist, and enjoyed inflicting the pain of loss on her worshipers. Her alleged help was not release from that pain, but numbness to it, the acceptance of it as normal and the removal of any expectation otherwise. Shar's realm was originally on the Plane of Shadow and was a tower that had no obvious entrances called the Tower of Loss. She would trap those who enjoyed their freedom inside, savoring their despair at their loss, though she would allow petitioners and visiting worshipers to freely come and go to further torture the trapped ones. Shar abandoned the Tower of Loss and was instrumental in the creation of the Shadowfell, and even created a new realm in the Astral Sea, larger than any of the others there where she could easily access the Shadowfell. This region became known as the Towers of Night. This twisted, shadowy realm connected to the Shadoewfell is shared with Zehir.
