Sune (pronounced Soo-Nee) is the Forgotten Realms version of Aphrodite, known for her vanity and casual flirtatiousness, she is both simultaneously extremely shallow while also being surprisingly deep.

Summary

Nobody really knows where she came from, other than she is one of those fundamental deities of a particular force rather than a particular people or set of ethics. So it explains why she could be as powerful as a greater deity without being notably militaristic or widespread.

Sune is renowned for being extremely superficial and flighty with her affections; like some Hollywood socialite, she has been romantically involved with practically every other non-destructive deity in every pantheon. While she is the goddess of love, it is really only the outward appearance of love. Meaning that she gives particular favour to handsome/beautiful worshippers while rejecting the ugly ones. Priests and Priestesses of her faith are rated by looks and scars or other unsightly marks are grounds for religious stigma.

Amongst the other Gods, despite her status as a greater deity, she is rarely considered worth the time. Like Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian; Sune is considered a bit of a joke. Amongst other deities of Beauty and Love, particularly those from other Prime Material worlds, Sune is considered to be some backwater harlot with delusions of grandeur. Despite her apparent power and influence, she has little involvement in any of the major political struggles of the Gods.

However, the curious thing is that despite her somewhat shallow nature, she can be freaking protective over what she considers her portfolio. Rather than shrieking helplessly like some victimised maiden she is quite willing to get into armed conflict in situations surrounding the destruction of beauty.

Realm

Sune resides in the realm of Brightwater on the Plane of Arborea, sharing it with some of the other deities of hedonism and enjoyment. The realm is practically a cosmopolitan city full of romance, excitement and intrigue.

Sune's portion of it is called the Heartfire Quarter and is actually considered relatively quiet compared to the rest, which are comparable to Las Vegas, Ibiza, Magaluf or downtown Bangkok. Sune's portions would be more like some idyllic tourist locale, full of beauty and culture. Where the inhabitants can appreciate the finer things, rather than darting from thrill to thrill.

The realm was actually destroyed during the transition to 4e as part of the Spellplague, but Sune would rebuild it after seeking refuge with Selune in the Gates of the Moon which is ordinarily located in Ysgard.

Worshippers

Sune is worshipped by anyone who wants to be beautiful, or who likes beautiful things.

Hanali Celanil is the Elven Goddess of Love and Beauty. Though in this case it is the deeper meaning of love and not the superficial outward appearance that Sune represents.

Hanali is not quite as vain as Sune, though as a Goddess of beautiful things it is kind of her nature to get distracted by pretty things in windows. The difference is that she is chiefly concerned by the emotions they illicit in others, rather than get excited about the thing itself.

Clerics to Hanali perform sermons which can turn into impromptu "revels". The best celebrations happen every month under the full moon, where romantically involved members of the congregation experience the "full bloom" of their affections, and are said to be rosy cheeks for days afterward as their inner beauty manifests. (really, they are probably blushing for days afterwards because they've just participated in a religious mass orgy)

As an Aspect

Hanali Celanil is considered by the Elves to be an aspect of an even greater goddess called Angharradh, who is the non-specific deity of pretty much everything Elven, and also the wife of Corellon Larethian. When taking the form of Angharradh, she combines her essence with two other Elven deities: Sehanine Moonbow and Aerdrie Faenya.

Unfortunately, by 4e it transpired that Hanali Celanil was in fact Sune all along, and that the Elven deity was only an independent aspect of the goddess of beauty in general. Meaning that much if the well intended conflict between the churches was entirely redundant. It also pretty much means that it is Sune who joins with the other Goddesses to create the super babe that is Corellon's wife.
