Avatar Descriptions
Shinare most often assumes the guise of a rich, portly matron or
merchant. She wears expensive clothing and jewelry, and a belt of
finest silver encircles her waist. When appearing to the dwarves,
she takes the form of a male dwarven merchant, decked in rich
clothing that drips with gems and precious metals. Because
dwarves so espouse her philosophies, she acquiesces to their
stubborn insistence that she is male. Minor concerns such as a
mortal gender should not stand in the way of progress. In either
form, Shinare carries a solid silver mace +4.

Notes
Shinare cannot tolerate laziness. She ascribes poverty to stupidity
or sloth. In her eyes, those who are idle and unproductive are
slowly dying.
Motivations
Shinare views war-torn Ansalon as a place that needs rebuilding.
She calls her worshippers to work hard at reconctructing their
ruined glory. She aggressively recruits followers, claiming that only
industry and progress can save Ansalon. Though beleaguered by
her capricious mate, Sirrion, Shinare considers her greatest foe to
be Hiddukel, god of corrupt business.
Description
Shinare - goddess of wealth, industry, and commerce - has many
dwarven worshippers, for they appreciate her love of wealth and
industry. She also finds many followers among merchants,
mercenaries, and profit-minded adventurers of other races. And all
folk consider her the champion of freedom and self-destiny.
Shinare's companion is Sirrion, god of creative fire. Their
relationship shows the stress of their opposite personalities: Sirrion
is tempermental and artistic while Shinare is calm and pragmatic.
His fondness for nature often runs against her desire for progress.
Still, for some reason even they do not understand, they remain
together.
