Shi'ara's philosophy on life is to live every day as if it is your last. She and her followers are not concerned with such things as study, obedience, and hard work. Shi'ara encourages her worshipers to seek ultimate satisfaction and pleasure in anything they do, and to the abyss with what anyone else has to say about it.

Shi'ara's followers can vary in nature more so than almost any other god, but they all share a love of a hedonistic, carefree, pleasurable existence. Some of her followers are benevolent and wish to spread pleasure and happiness to others. Some are simply selfish and self-absorbed and care little about anyone except themselves. Others can be more sadistic and seek personal pleasure in harming and exploiting others. It is extremely rare that followers of Shi'ara get involved in politics or war unless it directly benefits them. Otherwise, they just see such things as a waste of time that could be spent enjoying oneself. They generally feel the same way about study and hard work. Most followers of Shi'ara will try to get away with doing as little work as possible.

Shi'ara is extremely popular among the few Fey that have ended up on the islands. It is thought that she first made herself known to some young half-nymphs on the Isle of Eternity around 150 years ago. She also has a small following among some Halflings on the Isle of the Rolling Hills.
