Shar is considered an evil goddess, and as such her faithful are feared and reviled, considered monsters by most. Sharrans rarely flaunt their worship openly due to this - as well as the fact that it breaks Shar’s teachings to reveal themselves. Worship of Shar is forbidden outright in some places. | Shar is considered an evil goddess, and as such her faithful are feared and reviled, considered monsters by most.
