 == History ==
-Long has Valshar stayed in the background, scoffed as a ghost story by some, a goddess of inconsequence by others. So far into the background she was, even her father thought of her as one who lacks ambition. That, as well as being the dutiful daughter to [[Helthor]], she has long earned her father's trust, much to his demise.
+Valshar, the daughter of [[Helthor]], is considered an elusive and mysterious goddess although her name and influence have been seen and felt more strongly in recent years. She is “The Mistress of Tears”, commonly known as the goddess of sorrow and loss. She revels in the grief and despair of mortals. Unlike her father Helthor, she usually does not take an active role in causing sorrow. Instead, she or her spirit servants follow the grief-stricken around, haunting them with mournful cries and constant reminders of their loss. Most of those who come to worship her are her victims; people whom she has caused to lose all hope and happiness and know only despair. She preys on those who may be weak-willed or do not have the strength of another god to guide them. This is not to say that she would not enjoy the conquest of converting/breaking someone strong willed or faithful. Indeed, those victims have the sweetest tears and pain. Many of her worshipers and victims ultimately die of their grief, joining their mistress in eternal sorrow.
-Behind the facade of the lack of ambition, unassuming and silent goddess, lay one who was exceedingly cunning and ambitious. Through the fortune of obtaining a Sphere of Annihilation, she plotted to seize power from her Father. In the year 2154, Valshar set a trap for her father on her home plane, lured him to her, and attempted to murder him. She sought to steal the Sphere of Death. However, despite all her cunning, she underestimated [[Helthor]]'s strength on her home plane. [[Helthor]] managed to banish the Sphere of Annihilation before the full impact struck him. Valshar merely acquired a portion of the Sphere of death, which became the Sphere of Murder.The remaining essence of the Sphere of Death and [[Helthor]] hurtled down as a meteor onto the mortal planes
+There are still many who do not believe Valshar exists at all. In small Halfling communities, for example, she is often spoken about in 'ghost stories' and tales to frighten children. Others suspect she is a wandering soul, mourning a lover that never returned. The uncertainty regarding her true nature has inspired many bards' songs and stories.
-Even on the mortal planes, Valshar had her followers hunt [[Helthor]] down to seize the rest of the Sphere of Death. Ultimately, a group adventurers stopped [[Helthor]], and through her miscalculations, the Sphere of Death elevated [[Thessala]] as the new goddess of Death.
+The Church of Valshar is composed of all races and social classes, and has a primary temple located within the city of Yamman Arda. Their priests are often seen wearing clothing of primary white and minor black.
