Shar

Shar (pronounced: /ˈʃɑːr/ SHAHR), the Mistress of the Night, was the goddess of darkness and the caverns of Faerûn, as well as a neutral evil greater deity. Counterpart to her twin Selûne, she presided over caverns, darkness, dungeons, forgetfulness, loss, night, secrets, and the Underdark. Among her array of twisted powers was the ability to see everything that lay or happened in the dark. Shar's symbol was a black disk with a deep purple border. Shar was also the creator of the Shadow Weave, which was a counterpart and attack upon the Weave, controlled by Mystryl and her successors, before both of the Weaves fell into ruin during the Spellplague.
Shar is the Greater Deity of Darkness, but she is often mistaken for Sharess, the Netherese Grand Deity of Darkness. Her followers believe that if either party were concerned over this confusion, they would have destroyed the offenders, but in general, Sharess is no longer worshiped and Shar has taken the place as deity of Darkness on Toril. She is embodied as the "Dark-Side of the Moon".
