Photographer Alina Takeshi decided to please fans of the "Forgotten Realms" fantasy universe, where the events of such game series as Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights take place.
She conducted a photo shoot during which cosplayer Katya "Keller" Ternovskikh appeared as Shar from the RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 — the goddess of night and darkness, loss and oblivion.
Her heart longs to return to peaceful non-existence, and she weaves conspiracies to destroy the existing order. Shar is constantly at war with her sister Selune: she attacks the clergy, kills servants through the hands of her minions, and prefers to act in secret.
She symbolizes the pain that lurks deep within but does not fade, and the revenge that matures in the shadows. It is said she has the power to make a person forget their torment or cope with loss, and many desperate people turn to Shar for exactly such a blessing.
