Okay, and meanwhile, as all of this is happening, where is Selune? She (a greater deity) just sits there and allows her faithful to be "kidnapped" and "brainwashed" by Shar, her arch enemy no less, and is totally cool with it?
This is Larian BS that completely goes against well-established FR lore, and a good example of why I consider Larian's writers to be ridiculous jokes. A good writer accepts the constraints within which they're expected to write, and they still end up creating something awesome even while honoring those constraints.
Well, to be fair at the moment any BS is coming from those of us theorising that she might have some connection with Selune or have Selunite origins, rather than from Larian. Or at least I’ve not seen any definitive evidence of what they intend her exact back story to be.
