Courtship

(Implications)

He admired the ineffable evil and seductive Power, (sic) grace of Shar and had formally courted her on several occasions…

- On Jergal, Netheril: Empire of Magic

He was totally in smitten with Shar, who he believed to be the most beautiful and gracious being to have ever existed.

- On Targus (later known as Garagos), Netheril: Empire of Magic


One night Jergal, as the Lord of the End of Everything, brought Shar dead flowers in an aesthetic geometrical arrangement, as well as a lengthy dirge in iambic which she sang for him. The next night Targus, as the Lord of War, brought Shar six brace of the heads of her faith's enemies. Surreptitiously, she checked if Selune's head was among them. It wasn't, of course. She hadn't got that far with him yet.

She looked back to him. "Oh, you shouldn't have." Targus beamed at her, undried blood dripping from his body.

After he departed, singing something distinctly undirgely, there were innumerable little stains on her dark silks.
