🌑 Shar

Goddess of Darkness, Loss, Secrets, and Forgetting

Shar does not rage or threaten—she comforts. She teaches that pain ends when memory fades, that hope only prolongs suffering, and that oblivion is mercy.

She is ancient, patient, and terrifyingly reasonable. Many who fall to Shar do so not out of malice, but exhaustion.
