The guidance of Shar was a powerful magical holy symbol of Shar, found in Cormyr in the 15th century DR.[1][note 1]
Description[]
The symbol was a simple thin, flat, black steel disk with a purple border about the edge, forming the common symbol of Shar.[1]
Powers[]
The disk had several effects upon its bearer, even without their devotion to Shar. It passively improved the bearer's force of personality, granted them a blurring effect that made them harder to target, and could temporarily blind enemies in melee. Shar's blessing was double-edged, however, and the bearer of the symbol also found themselves being blinded by Shar's darkness at times.[1]
History[]
Magistrate Abella Toth granted the symbol as a reward to trustworthy adventurers, who had captured the infamous Sharran priest Dedryk Black for her.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Menace of the Underdark (including Web of Chaos) is dated to the period of 1484–1485 DR, as it references the ongoing Darkening. Shadowfell Conspiracy (including Disciples of Shadow, Shadow Under Thunderholme, The Druid's Deep, and The High Road of Shadows) are dated to the same period, as they are stated to take place at roughly the same time as Menace of the Underdark.
