Shan Thar Shan Thar was a male Tethyrian human cleric of Cyric . In 1374 DR , he purported to be a cleric of Mystra at a false temple to Mystra in Wheloon in Cormyr . History . In the Year of Lightning Storms , 1374 DR , Shan Thar got involved in a plot by Esvele Graycastle of the church of Shar to establish a false temple of Mystra in Wheloon and ultimately tear apart the Weave . At the temple , he worked for the so - called Lady of Mysteries Naedaenya Arthas and Starweaver Deinyn Fembrys , both secret clerics of the goddess of shadows . Shan soon became the public face of the temple , recruiting travelers who had some aptitude to participate in the so - called Mystra ' s Sacred Trust rite . In truth , this was a scam to " dominate " and abduct them to fuel the destruction . Eventually , on Eleint 6 , some adventurers recruited to investigate the strange behavior of the supposed Mystran clerics uncovered the ruse , exposing the false temple and foiling the schemes there . Activities . Shan served as the public face of the false temple , greeting visitors and asking how he could help . He would provide healing and clerical services at standard rates . He happily told visitors all about the temple and deflected any concerns and rumors about it — every word a lie . He also officiated at an astrology show in the evenings . But his main purpose was to push magic - capable visitors to Wheloon to participate in the three - day - long " Mystra ' s Sacred Trust " ritual .

He lived at the temple , sharing quarters with Kevrin . Personality . When greeting visitors , Shan Thar appeared to be amiable and outgoing , charming and oft - smiling .

He was right . Description . Shan Thar appeared to be in his mid - 30s . Equipment . In battle , Shan wore full plate armor , carried a heavy steel shield , and wielded a longsword . He had a " wand of bane " ; three " scroll s " each of " cure moderate wounds " , " cure serious wounds " , " lesser restoration " , and one of " remove disease " . He also had five " potion s of cure light wounds " and a half - dozen " potions of undetectable alignment " , which he brewed himself to maintain his cover . He also owned a " disc of secrets " . This false unholy symbol initially appeared to show the symbol of Mystra , then revealed the symbol of Shar after a command phrase as normal . But Shan ' s had a second command word , " lies " , which caused the jawless white skull of Cyric ' s symbol to appear within the black circle of Shar ' s . Abilities . Shan Thar trained in the mace , focus on evocation prayers , and was able to brew his own potions . He once underwent special mental conditioning that allowed him to avoid revealing his true thoughts if his mind was magically read .
