'''The Chosen of Shar''' is a sub-quest of [[Shadowheart|Shadowheart's]] [[Companion]] [[quest]], [[Daughter of Darkness]]. It is added to the journal after encountering information on Dark Justiciars.

==Objectives==

''Objectives and journal entries may vary pending story decisions.''

* Shadowheart has shown interest in finding the lair of the Dark Justiciar - an elite force dedicated to the goddess Shar.

* We found murals in the grove that seemed to depict an ancient order of Sharran warriors - the Dark Justiciars. Further signs of their presence - historical or otherwise - may lie elsewhere.

* The Archdruid Halsin described how there was once an entire army of Dark Justiciars that waged war against followers of Selûne, long ago. The rites of becoming a Dark Justiciar are no mean feat - they must have had a substantial lair in order to train and anoint a force of such size.

* We found an ancient temple of Selûne that had seemingly been razed by Dark Justiciars in the past. Such a force must have had a stronghold to operate from. Perhaps it can still be found.

* We entered the ruins of what may have been a fortress dedicated to the goddess Shar. We could be close to the Dark Justiciar's lair.

* We found the corpses of several Dark Justiciars - Shar must have been worshipped here. Shadowheart suggested we search for answers.

* We found traces of Hellish fiends. Could they have killed the Dark Justiciars? If so, where is their temple of Shar?

* We learned that Grymforge leads to an ancient temple. Perhaps the truth of what happened to the Dark Justiciars can be discovered there.

* The bridge to the ancient temple has been destroyed - there must be another way in.

* We discovered that Shadowheart possesses a certain amount of resistance to the ill effects of the shadow curse. It seems that this must be due to Shar's patronage - but given the mercurial nature of the dark goddess, the extent of her protection remains to be seen.

* We discovered the remains of long-dead Dark Justiciars in the ruined town of Reithwin. It seems they fought to the death in an effort to defend something important to them.

* We discovered an ancient temple dedicated to Shar. This will be of great interest to Shadowheart - we should investigate further with her.

* We reached the place that Shadowheart had been seeking - an ancient temple dedicated to Shar. We should investigate further.

* Shadowheart realised that this temple is the legendary Gauntlet of Shar - a proving ground where initiates would seek to become Dark Justiciars. After investigating an altar, she learned that a series of trials must be overcome in order to be anointed a warrior of Shar. Shadowheart wishes to complete the trials and become a Dark Justiciar herself.

* Shadowheart revealed to us that in order to become a Dark Justiciar, she must first acquire a weapon called the Spear of Night, hidden somewhere in the Silent Library.

* We have found the Spear of Night. Now we only need to clear the way to the Inner Sanctum of the Gauntlet of Shar, where Shadowheart seeks to be anointed as a Dark Justiciar.

* We have cleared the way to the Inner Sanctum. Shadowheart is now very close to proving herself to Shar and becoming a Dark Justiciar. We should accompany her downwards.

* We have surmounted all the trials and cleared the way to the Inner Sanctum. Shadowheart is now very close to proving herself to Shar and becoming a Dark Justiciar. We should accompany her downwards.

* After praying to Shar, Shadowheart told us that she must retrieve a weapon called the Spear of Night from the Silent Library before she goes any farther. Otherwise, she will be unable to become a Dark Justiciar.

* We retrieved the Spear of Night. Now we only need to venture through the Inner Sanctum to where Shadowheart's final test awaits. If she succeeds, she shall be anointed as a Dark Justiciar.

* We have entered the Shadowfell - Shar's very own realm. We must descend to where a final test awaits Shadowheart.

After praying to Shar, Shadowheart told us that she needs to proceed to where a final test awaits her. If she succeeds, she shall be anointed as a Dark Justiciar.

* We have decided to turn on Balthazar. Now we must defeat him so that Shadowheart can deal with Nightsong.

* We have entered the Shadowfell - Shar's very own realm. We must descend to where a final test awaits Shadowheart. However, Balthazar, necromancer and ally of Ketheric Thorm, is also present, and may pose a threat to Shadowheart's ambitions if we do not intervene.

* Shadowheart died. We won't be able to bring her back.

* Shadowheart left our party and won't return.

* We decided Nightsong's fate for ourselves, ignoring Shadowheart's wishes. This is bound to anger her greatly.

Shadowheart wielded the Spear of Night and killed Nightsong. Greatly pleased, Shar rewarded Shadowheart, and gave her a new mission to pursue.

== Walkthrough ==

After this, several events can play out, depending on whether {{CharLink|Balthazar}} is alive and whether the player character convinces Shadowheart to spare the Nightsong.
