Church of Sune
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.

mission is twofold. You are tasked with guarding all of

enemies of beauty and civilization. You 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

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 Allies. The Church of Sune works closely with the Order of the Gauntlet and the Lord’s Alliance. Often, members of these organizations might work directly with the church.
