History
Around 1035 DR, the Sharran clergy fell under the sway of a vampire who hid themselves within the temple's basement. Also around this time, the normally irreligious Hultmarks became frequent visitors to the temple, falling under the sway of its vampire.

Eventually, the vampire lord Artor Morlin noticed that vampire activity around the city had increased, to such a degree that their rise in population could endanger Waterdeep. Promising his ruler Ahghairon that he would try to keep the city free of other vampires, Artor hired a group of adventurers to seek out and eradicate vampire nests in the city. This mission eventually lead them to the Hultmark Manor, where Joy Hultmark informed them she suspects the Temple of Shar as being a vampire den. When the adventurers made their way to the temple they found the Hultmarks inside, debating whether or not to remain loyal to their master.
