Sune is the goddess of beauty, also known as Lady Firehair and the Lady of Love. She represents not only physical beauty, but the beauty of music, fragrances and delicious foods. Her worshippers seek out the pleasure that comes from experiencing beauty in all its forms.

The Church of Sune believes that all mortals deserve the opportunity to experience beauty during their brief lives. The church goes about ensuring that this opportunity exists in two manners. The first is the support of artistic endeavors. This covers a wide variety of ventures including culinary arts, music, painting, sculpting and others. Clerics of Sune seek out exceptional artistic talent and provide them with monetary grants or help them become members of prestigious organizations.

The second focus of the church is much more pragmatic. The church uses its vast monetary resources to support civilization in all its forms; for without cities, towns and roads, there would not be theaters, restaurants, art galleries and all of the other venues that allow for the appreciation of beauty. The church pays for the construction of roads, forts and caravansaries so that travel between cities is less dangerous. They donate to military orders that defend civilization such as the Order of the Gauntlet and the Harpers. They work hard to make sure that the Lord's Alliance is well funded and try to smooth over squabbles between the city states that make up its membership. Because of this, there are more worshippers of Sune amongst the nobility of the Lord's Alliance than any other god or goddess.

Temples to Sune often include venues for appreciating the arts or are built within a city district that includes them. A temple might include a vast public bathhouse with heated plumbing, or a multistory theater to allow for nightly plays or musical performances.

### Church of Sune Operatives

#### Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose.

This order's mission is twofold. They are tasked with guarding all of Sune's holy sites, from small shrines to city temples. In addition to this, they are tasked with hunting down the enemies of beauty and civilization. They often work with organizations such as the Order of the Gauntlet or the Lord's Alliance. To be initiated into the order, a prospective member must stand vigil for one night outside of a major temple of Sune. Members do not need to primarily worship Sune, but they are required to wear a symbol of her somewhere on their body.

* Classes: Barbarian, Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger

#### Order of Adon.

An order dedicated to the memory of Adon, a cleric of Sune that helped bring about the end to the Time of Troubles. While he turned his back on Sune during this tumultuous era in Faerûn's history, his actions allowed his former goddess to reclaim her divinity. Adon was friends with the mortal woman who would become the goddess Mystara, thus those who wield arcane magic often join the Order of Adon. In recognition of how an unbeliever such as Adon can benefit the Church of Sune, the Order is welcoming to those of other faiths.

* Classes: Artificers, Cleric (not of Sune), Druids, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Wizards

##### Eyes of Evening.

An order inspired by the demigoddess of hedonism, Sharess, a divine servant of Sune. Sharess is also known as the mother of cats and is often worshipped by the tabaxi.

* Classes: Bards, Monks, Rogues
