Sune is the goddess of love, beauty, and passion — one of the most beloved deities in the pantheon. She is depicted as an impossibly beautiful woman with flowing red hair, and she embodies not just physical beauty but the beauty of love itself in all its forms. She is warm, joyful, and fiercely protective of those who love genuinely and openly.
Sune does not merely represent vanity or superficial beauty — she values the beauty of the soul as much as the body, and her followers understand that true love requires courage, vulnerability, and sacrifice. She is one of the few deities who actively encourages her followers to experience joy and pleasure without guilt.
Followers
Sune’s followers include artists, poets, lovers, and those who create or appreciate beauty in any form. Her clergy, known as Heartwarders, are expected to be beautiful in appearance and deed — to create beauty, foster love, and oppose ugliness in all its forms including cruelty and hatred. They tend to be charismatic, passionate, and sometimes reckless in matters of the heart. Her temples are among the most beautiful buildings in any city.
Divine Relationships
Sune is closely allied with Lathander, whose domains of renewal and optimism complement her own joyful nature. She has a warm friendship with Selûne and a respectful relationship with Chauntea. Her enemies include Shar, whose embrace of loss and numbness is the antithesis of Sune’s passionate engagement with life, and Talona, whose ugliness and disease corrupt the beauty Sune cherishes.
