[[File:Nishaw_law.jpg|thumb|Select laws of Ni'Shaw.]]'''Ni'Shaw''' was a minor [[Deity/Legends|god]] of war and wisdom in the [[Jydan]] religion of [[V'shar]].

==Biography==
Ni'Shaw was initially worshiped by the [[Unfyr/Legends|Unfyr]] warriors, but during this time, he only managed to have two prophets. Traditional Jydan religion required three prophets to write the teachings of each god in the [[Jydan Writings]] and his laws and ethos in the [[Volumes of Truth]]. This, and the [[Ka'hren]] tendency of not recording historical facts, led to Ni'Shaw being forgotten for centuries.

During the [[Rebellion era]], Ni'Shaw was rediscovered by history scholar [[Kaltor Naklian]] of [[University of Timb]] while studying ancient Ka'hren tribes. During an archaeological expedition, Naklian discovered the writings of Ni'Shaw's two first prophets and a well-preserved [[rantok]] sword. Naklian considered this to be a sign from Ni'Shaw, who wanted him to become his [[Third Prophet]].

Naklian founded the [[Ni'Shaw-Dak Ministry|Ni'Shaw-Dak]], a sect of Jydan devoted to worship Ni'Shaw, while at the same time paying tribute to the other gods. Due to Naklian obtaining fame for other reasons, Ni'Shaw-Dak grew quickly until it had 2.5 million members (most of the skilled rantok-wielding warriors) on [[2 ABY/Legends|2 ABY]], with an important representation in the government of V'shar.
