Ancient Lore on Shevarash

The Ancient Lore on Shevarash was a tome of knowledge about the elven god Shevarash from the Hand of the Seldarine before the stronghold's fall centuries before 1281 DR.

Content
The book talked about Shevarash's place in the Seldarine, the basics of the faith, and him being the embodiment of hatred the Fair Folk felt towards the drow. The tome described Shevarash's followers, elves, and half-elves who suffered loss, especially those who lost their loved ones to drow raids. The book speculated, citing some of the elven theologists, that Shevarash's role was to gather bitterness and negative feelings that were spawned by the Crown Wars, keeping infectious hatred, darkness, and evil of the Spider Queen from spreading onto the surface elf population.

History
Ancient Lore on Shevarash was written and printed sometime between the citadel's construction circa 900 DR and its fall in the Battle of Seldarine's Hand. By 1281 DR, the citadel was ruined and inhabited by ghostly apparitions of its former inhabitants. One of the Ancient Lore on Shevarash copies could be found in the citadel's library curated by Custhantos, along with other rare books.
