When I was first playing the game and having Shar and her followers being described, it felt mostly like they were the misunderstood and outcasts for "some reason" or another, So i had it in my head they were just basically Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain-ish or along those lines. So what I'm trying to say is I'd rather Shar etc be rewritten to fit that mold more.

I honestly don't remember a time, when Shar wasn't really, really evil and I play DnD for a while. I'm sorry, but she was never just misunderstood. That doesn't mean, that some of her followers couldn't be redeemed - I have not much experience with Viconia, since I never liked her enough to have her in my party and make all my favourite characters leave or fight her, but apart from Shadowheart in BG3, there is also her friend in the House of Grief, who stands by her, no matter, how she decides in the end. She seems to be a pretty decent person for worshipping such an evil goddess. So the followers could potentially be outcasts and anti heroes, with a very poor choice of god(ess), but Shar is evil.
