Okay. Let's put this in a different perspective. The crusades. European Christians versus Islamic Muslims. Big war. These two forces were arch enemies. Do you think that the common person in Europe didn't know what Muslim symbols were? Do you think that Muslims didn't know the Christian symbol? Do you think that the common person wouldn't be able to tell the armor of a Muslim versus the armor of a Christian?
If a Muslim soldier during that time period showed up in a small town in one of the European Christian lands, don't you think someone, maybe not everyone, but someone would recognize that armor and the symbols worn by the soldier? Wouldn't a Christian priest especially have such knowledge or local town militia? And then, on top of it all, wouldn't somebody who fought in the crusades against the Muslims recognize the armor? Or what about someone who knew somebody who fought in the crusades who told them all about it and even had murals painted with images of Muslim soldiers with their symbols and armor on their walls? Shouldn't they at least recognize the armor?
And wouldn't it make more sense that the Muslim would wear Christian armor or just some sort of mercenary ragtag armor in order to hide who they are amidst an entire land of Christians?
Likewise, Shar is a major goddess, an enemy of many peoples throughout the Sword Coast. Her society is a secretive one. So why would any of her servants try to ever infiltrate any other land wearing armor that would possibly identify them as being her servants? And even if Shadowheart wasn't planning on crashing in some sort of wilderness outside of Baldur's Gate, she was still planning on returning to Baldur's Gate. So she was planning on returning to a place that is a big city in a land that knows about and is hostile towards her people.
