+

Based on your description of the worshippers of Shar in your homebrew setting, there are ways to make them fit better while still aligning with the enigmatic nature of Shar. Here are some adjustments and considerations:

+
    +
  1. The Desire for Change: Instead of purely seeking personal gain or higher positions within society, the worshippers of Shar can have a deeper motivation rooted in a desire to change the existing corrupt system itself. They believe that the established hierarchy is inherently flawed and perpetuates injustice and inequality. They see Shar as a catalyst for change, someone who can dismantle the oppressive structures and bring about a more just and balanced society.
    2. +
  2. Challenging the Status Quo: Rather than solely focusing on their own ambitions, the worshippers of Shar can view themselves as agents of upheaval and necessary chaos. They believe that the current order needs to be torn down in order to build a new, more equitable society. They see Shar as an agent of transformation and rebirth, heralding the dismantling of corrupt power structures.
    3. +
  3. Embracing the Dark Path: The worshippers of Shar can be convinced that the darkness and secrets they align with are not inherently evil, but rather necessary forces for change and balance. They view Shar as a guide who can lead them through the shadows to expose the corruption within the existing hierarchy. Their devotion to Shar comes from the belief that only by embracing the darkness and uncovering hidden truths can true justice be achieved.
    4. +
  4. Shadowy Manipulators: The worshippers of Shar can be master manipulators, skilled in the art of secrecy and subterfuge. They use their clandestine nature and knowledge to orchestrate events and expose the corruption within the established order. In their minds, they see themselves as liberators, working to dismantle a corrupt system and create a more just society, even if their methods involve morally gray actions.
    5. +

By adjusting the motivations and perspectives of the worshippers, you can align them more closely with the enigmatic nature of Shar while giving them a purpose beyond personal gain. This allows them to be complex antagonists who challenge the existing power structures in your campaign setting.

Certainly! Here's a revised description where the member of the cult of Shar presents their views and the goddess in a more subtle and appealing manner, tailored to the understanding of the potential new recruit:

+

As a devoted member of our clandestine circle, let me share with you the whispers of our cause and the mysterious figure we revere—Shar. In our eyes, Shar represents the transformative power of hidden truths and the promise of a just society. While not widely known among the masses, her influence permeates the very fabric of our world.

+

Within our society, the pursuit of personal power is often seen as self-serving. However, we see it as a necessary means to dismantle the existing imbalances that plague our culture. By embracing our own ambitions, we strive to level the playing field, ensuring that those who possess true merit and capability rise to positions of influence.

+

Shar is not a deity of darkness and secrets to be feared, but rather an advocate of change and the dismantling of oppressive structures. Through her teachings, we gain the insight to expose the flaws within our current system. She encourages us to question the status quo, challenging those who manipulate and exploit for their own gain.

+

United by our cause, we become agents of transformation, working subtly behind the scenes to orchestrate a shift towards a more just society. Our actions may be seen as secretive, but it is through this cloak of mystery that we uncover the hidden truths and reveal the true faces of those who perpetuate injustice.

+

Join us, and together we shall break the chains that bind us to an unfair world. Embrace the call of Shar and become a catalyst for change. By traversing the shadows, we shall pave the way for a brighter future, where the deserving are rightfully recognized and the powerful are held accountable.

+

Our purpose extends beyond personal gain; it is rooted in a desire to create a world where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive. Embrace the teachings of Shar, and join us in shaping a society where fairness and justice prevail. The path may not be without challenges, but the rewards are nothing short of a transformed world, guided by the enigmatic wisdom of Shar.
