I understand it's a Forgotten Realm's deity... yet there are only 4 Google results... if anyone can shed some light about who is Sheveresh (or what his portfolio is), I'd appreciate it...

his story is in the 2E DEMIHUMAN DEITIES book
offhand...basically he was a mortal wood elf from Tangletrees/Cormanthor whose family was butchered by the drow so he dedicated his whole life (elven lifespan) to destroy the drow...and when he died that elf god of outcasts sponsered his godhood and he became the elven god of revenge and the war against Lolth and the drow |

| There's also info on him in Faiths and Pantheons. He swore to not smile again until all drow were destroyed. There's a nice short story about his worshipers in Realms of the Elves. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

Also more recently he appeared to sweare off killing Eilistraee Drow. No there is not that much lore about him.
You will find a little more lore if you use Sheverash for search. |
"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Demihuman Deities and Faiths & Patheons are the two main sources.
There's a few tidbits in Monster Mythology and On Hallowed Ground as well.

And a bit more if you use "Shevarash," I expect.
I believe there's also a bit on him in Weapons of Legacy - last I checked, you could get said bit on the Wizards website. |

| I was reading Demihuman Deities recently, it says that Shevarash has been finding comfort in the teachings of Shar lately and this concerns the rest of the Seldarine... I found this very interesting... This info also appears in the latest Candlekeep Compendium. I love the articles on Shaundakul... |

Shevarash: God of hatred of the drow, loss, crusades, vengeance
Strang not much info ot this ?
http://www.nwncityofarabel.com/gods/SHEVARASH.htm
http://myth-drannor.net/DlabraddathNet/z-semberholm/Selderine/shevarash.htm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
other oficial
Shevarash is the elven deity of revenge and hatred of the drow. Once, he was a mortal elf, famous as one of the finest archers in the world. When drow raiders attacked his village and slaughtered his family, Shevarash foreswore his former life, vowing to never rest until the drow were purged from the world. Shevarash slew many dark elves, gaining infamy as the "Black Archer" in drow folklore, before he was finally captured and slain. Upon Shevarash's death, Corellon Larethian granted him the spark of the divine, transforming him into a minor deity.

I'd slipped some of his history into the timeline for CORMANTHYR as well; I believe there's an illo by Jeff Easley of Shevarash in that same book.

| ... and to add something novel'ish, Realms of the Elves, the anthology-companion of the Last Mythal series, has a pretty neat short story on followers of him as well. Much like I envisaged them Shevarashans ... |

In light of recent novel developments - it might me interesting to see how both of these gods develop and change going forward.
