There are other anti hero gods - Hoar, Shevarash - but Shar? Not so much - she literally invented evil.
Well I'm not familiar with any sort of DnD Lore; but I thought that was Tiamat? I thought Shar was Darkness etc; I've heard the Editions change things up or something...

That's the Dragonlance setting. Tiamat is the original evil in that setting. It's confusing because, as you say, WotC stopped producing the Dragonlance setting and tried fold it into the Forgotten Realms.

Shar is Darkness - but he's even more evil than Darkness in the movie Legend - but her darkness is also the void. The original fight between Shar and Selune is about life on earth (on Chauntea).

Selune wanted "earth" to support life and that meant creating a sun. Shar wanted to maintain the status quo - darkness and moonlight. No life, no stars . . .
