Ah, Shar, the goddess of Lone Psycho Goths.
Im a lone psycho goth
I realize I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new movies online?
I know her in rl, she rolls deep
Take a shot every time the word “Darkness” is used.
Let’s see what’s more detrimental to one’s liver, a Kingdom Hearts documentary or this DungeonCast elisode
As a reader of the novels, I feel like one of the few people who aren’t confused. The spellplague still happened, it was the common plot shared between all novels written from the Empyrean Odyssey to The Herald. And this time frame was filled with a series of Shar’s plot. Like her going Galactus on Toril. The novels are all interconnected, that’s why Forgotten Realms gets the highlight.
So 4e is an Elder Scrolls Dragon Break. Multiple timelines and all are true, but then rearrange to regular contenuity at the end
Shar is the ultimate big bad of the Forgotten Realms. Not even her own followers know just how dark her true goals are. She seeks the end of all things. She seduces people to follow her with promises of power but ultimately she leads them to their own destruction as a means to an end. A means to THE END.
So if I understand correctly Selune effectively took a piece of her liver and threw it at Shar. Yet Shar supposed to be the metal one. SMH
In older lore, Shar had more allies. Jergal was one of her allies, he even tried to court her. Kozah, the old name for Talos, was also Shar's ally.
My one and only go-to podcast. Much love to you Brian and Will. Shoutout to Demogorgon
I'm so glad I found this. I'm about to play in Curse of Strahd for the first time and want to play an Owlfolk Twilight Cleric that "worships" the balance between light and darkness. I found my gods in Selûne and Shar. Super excited now. Love you guys, keep up the amazing work.
Shar, the Goddess of unhealthy coping mechanisms for emotional trauma.
Shar is also known as the Red Comet, she was in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam.
Great episode, guys! She seems like a perfect deity for an Underdark campaign to help facilitate the party so long as they are faithful from the oppressive and alien environment.
Solid lore and off-the-cuff laughs on this one, guys 🤘
The Tenchi difference was everything i needed! I saw that you guys used Stunami the in a thumbnail a while back and thought I may have just been crazy but ive been watching this show and all sequels ad spin-offs since the beginning!
I love the idea of the cults of Shar and Vecna in a shadow war against eachother. The political secret society Vs the horror cult. I like the idea of a cleric of Shar going up against Vecna’s undead
13:17 it would be really cool if you did a video on the general lore of 4e.
I was 2e and BECMI, and I never knew that 4e lore was so good. It would be interesting to hear why it's good and what the differences are from the earlier editions.
ty guys great vids!
Man I was hoping this would be the episode where Mask was introduced. The son of shar who stole some of her divinity during his birth. You should do an episode on Mask!
18:58 hearing this REALLY makes me wanna make a paladin of Shar. It’s dope.
Edit: your Mystra video was my favorite until this one. Everything about Shar is wild
My current homebrew campaign (due to PC deity choice) is based around Dumathoin (who i'm combining with Erebos as a double-aspect God, and husband to Nyx), Vhaeraun, and Nyx (who I'm using as an Elder Primordial Goddess, effectively taking over Shar's Domain in my world), with Larloch and Rhaugilath involved (with Larloch's respect for Mystra replaced by Nyx), and way out in the future as a looming threat, Mauzkyl Jaezred (the gargantuan Shadow Dragon). There is a "lost" Pool of Radiance/Mythallar underneath the main city that Larloch and Mauzzkyl Jaezred will be racing to control (modified 'Defiance in Phlan/Dues for the Dead' adventure hooks).
Sharrite Priest staring at the Moon: ....
*Blasts*
MOOOOOON!
Excellent video as always! And shout out to demogorgon and his ixitxachitls homies!
I like to think of Weaves like programming an interface in to magic. Like, without the weave spellcasting would be “I want to lift that rock” (Rolls DC 14 Arcana/Nature/Religion/Performance check)
SpellPlague happened, Second Sundering is a semi-hard reset... ShadowWeave is still a thing, Shar in her “#@$% you, Mystra!”-plan merged the Plane of Shadow, the Ethereal Plane, and the Fugue Plane into the ShadowFell as a whole... conflicting opinions on who exactly has dominion over it... it’s either Shar, Raven Queen, Kelemvor, and sometimes Orcus or Vecna make a claim at it; but it’s really like each of them have a claim to a certain aspect of it... even though it’s all the same thing.... and the only undisputed contender is the Dark Powers of The Demi-Plane of Dread because nobody knows Jack-$#€+ about them (but, if you really think about it, all they got is a demi-plane, so...?).
AO ( the Alpha and Omega)
Time of Troubles..... Caused when Bane, Myrkul and Bhaal stole the Tablets of Fate, which list all the Gods and their potfolios and duties. AO punished the Gods by sending them to Toril to remind them that their worshipers are what gives them their power. Happened approx 1 century ago in Realms time, iirc.
How the The time of Troubles started(at I believe the beginning of 2nd edition) is that The Dead Three(Bane, Myrkul, and Bhaal) stole the tablets of fate and then Io got annoyed at the gods and made them all mortal(except Bahumat, Tiamat, Asmodeus and Helm) and told them to bring back the Tablets of Fate, that eventually happened bring back the status quo (and thats when 3rd Mystra was made)
Gotta worship Shar now… definitely love the “Coming of the Lady”
1...2.....3...4, 5....6...7.....8...9, 10!
“Ten Dogmas of Shar!! A-haHa!”
Nice episode as always. Isn't Mask, the god of thieves, like the son of Shar?
this is 100% the best dnd video on the net. very awesome insights on Shar fantastic, sub earned!!
mystery beam sounds like a prismatic spray, but without the light effect. A dark or invisible beam but with an array of random effects.
play baldurs gate...explains the time of troubles as the tablets of fate were stolen. All the gods except helm where made mortal.
The Time of troubles was used as a plot device for the conversion from AD&D to second edition in 1987. It was clumsy and badly written, but it is what it is. Bane, Myrkul and Bhaal stole the tablets of fate, so Ao cast all the gods to Toril as powerful mortal beings. Mystra tried to tell on them so Helm killed her.
Shar might seek to create an umbral blot so large that it can annihilate all of reality. So if you want a high stake campaign to save the world, stopping that plot would be an epic quest.
This is going to help me immensely as I created to magic items that are chained together one of which is blessed by Selûne the other by Shar
I have liked and commented! I continue to serve the luminous dungeoncast!
Greetings milords! It has been awhile since I have properly talked to you. My deepest apologies. I've been busy investigating a series of crimes that have been occurring within city walls. It is most perplexing I must admit. A series of homicides have been committed that city leadership refuses to acknowledge in the public eye, and the city guard has been ordered not to investigate. Something isn't right here.
It is good I am not officially a member of the city guard, therefore I'm not breaking any laws by looking into the matter. My paladin senses are tingling, I sense a darkness... no, a corruption lurking within our city of knowledge and laughter.i wonder, could this indeed be the work of shar, or perhaps some other malevolent force? I have not been able to rest easy for a few nights now. I have to solve this mystery. I must find the perpetrators of these horrific murders. If they will not leave the dark on their own, then by my will I shall drag them into the light! I have vowed to safeguard these lands with my very life from any foe, no matter how powerful, or how daunting.
Until next time milords, you ever vigilant soldier, paladin Dorian.
Ah, I love a good deities and demi gods episode, always good. Vecna will always be the cooler secret keeping deity though.
I was going to say at the end about the mystery beam, the way you were describing it really made it seem more like a chaos beam than a mystery beam. It sounded like the wabbajack from TES. This beholder is really turning out to be an absolute abomination. I really hope somebody makes art of this once its finished.
Are we on our 4th mystra by now? I could have sworn we were only on the 3rd. I wish they had given the goddess of magic another name change instead of keeping her as mystra like they did with mystril to mystra once a new person became the goddess of magic.
Welp I can't think of much else to say. See you guys on the next SQS! And I will catch the premiere this time...
I think a cool secret beam would steal spells or spell slots, but you don't know which one until you go to use it and it fails cuz you no longer remember it when you need it.
After reading warlock of the magus world I have been curious about shar
ToT took place 20 yrs before 2nd. It's in the middle of 1st and 2nd.
The Time of Troubles took place about a year ago
Viconia worships Shar and Lolth hate's it because Shar is above Lolth.
Shar-ly I can’t be the first viewer this week can I?
I love this! I plan to use this Pantheon in my campaign! Do you guys plan on doing one on Lathander? How does he come into the Pantheon, because I play a cleric/later priestess of Lathander. I know him and Chauntea do have a romance kind of thing, does he come in with the sun? Hope you guys see this!!! 😁😁😁😁
You know what would be interesting to hear about, any demi gods in dnd. I know they exist, just dunno about any of them.
Do you guys have a discord? Id love to join your community!

@@Thedungeoncast just did, thanks!!
Was wondering the same thing, happy to see they do have one. This channel deserves WAY more subscriber's.
My CE Moon Elf Sorcerer just confessed his love to shar after rolling a Nat 20 on Religion for her to help in a battle. Post battle he attempted to confess to her but she pulled a bad wolf bay moment on him xD
Acererak was a general of Vecna, if I remember correctly
i hope they do sharess soon.
Can you imagine the mental troubles one must endure to worship the extreme nihilism of Shar?
Why are you talking about that singer?
I really wanted to make a Cher joke. I heart you for this
Have you guys thought about doing a planes & places episode based on the world of critical role or a critical role lore series, i think that would be pretty cool considering how much it has affected the D&D fandom
You guys should do a video on how Critical Role was inspired from previous dungeons and dragons Editions
I wonder if you guys are enjoying Baldur's Gate 3 early access yet?
I started getting back into the lore after playing it & it's been decades since I was into all this.
good lord, the time of troubles was not third edition.
Lolth or Shar , which one is more evil ?
Was there a Selune podcast?
No we haven't covered Selune yet, just Sune so far.
The Lady of Loss....
Im so early. Im not Shar what to say.
Not too shar who this, I dont have any puns to make atm
@@mcswaggerduff8946 Ah. Our sweet Lady of loss must have your heart and soul then. Glad to see you
Not to SHArBBY getting here before me boys.
I Shard probably try this out more often
I SHAr'LL not be outdone when it comes to puns.
As I’ve been listening to more and more of your episodes, but still catching up, I hesitate to call this an “issue” I have, but I feel like some bias against 5e, or at least a need to separate 4e as some completely different universe than all the other versions before and after it from a Lore perspective. They are all connected, even if some details (big and small) change. 3e to 4e is the Spellplague, whereas 4e to 5e is the Second Sundering. They are both events that canonically happen that are more about a breaking and the restoration respectively.
I think your theory about darkvision is backwards. If everyone has darkvision, then no one will use lights.
So are "planes" basically planets?
Yes or realities
I think of them as different galaxy’s. Each has planets and denizens.
Gimme muh video about baalzebul
I don’t care what you prefer, we all kind of like, basically agree 4e Raven Queen is way better than 5e Raven Queen, amirite?
Only Avatars and Aspects get stated in 5e...
the emo goddess, hate how 4e gave her extra domains.
I found my faith.... where else to find goth GFs!
