Always had a question, why did it always seem like it was so easy for Shar to create the Shadowweave in the beginning, but future attempts have been thwarted so easily? 1/2) Because, in the beginning, Mystra never thought Shar would do something so irresponsible. You see, the Shadowweave can't exist without the Weave (it's built on it and anchored to it), and the Weave IS Mystra, so Mystra just altered herself to make rebuilding…#Realmslore

(2/2)…the Shadow Weave nigh impossible. And believe no clerical propaganda about the SW coming first, or Shar being able to force Mystra or any other greater deity to do anything. Shar does despair, loss, and chaos; great at messing with mortal minds but futile against gods.
