No, you have a pretty good grasp of the lore. My point was simply that on paper, per WotC books, ALL greater deities are equal. The problem is that the good gods always tend to be the ones who interfere in mortal affairs minimally and who are also minimalist in the use of their powers against others, whereas the evil gods are the ones more willing to openly use (and abuse) their power. This is what results in any perceived imbalance in power among those gods.
I like the idea that Selune is strong because she has so many allies while Shar covets her power and keeps it to herself. (Cyric being an interesting exception to the rule)
I am happy that BG3 decided to have Shar play such a large role - she's a more intriguing opponent than, say, Cyric. Of all the evil gods she's the one a with the clearest vision of what she wants to achieve. Whatever intrigue she's involved in this year or this century is in service of the longer vision of bringing about the endless night and the end of all life. If she has all this power why does she use it so infrequently? What is she planning?
