Beauty is more than skin deep, say the Sunites; it issues form the core of
one's being and shows one's fair (or foul) face to the world. The followers
of Sune are believers in romance, true love winning over all, and following
one's heart to one's true destination. Fated matches, impossible loves, and
ugly ducklings becoming swans are all part of the teaching of Sune.
Novice Sunites receive the following charge: "Love none more than yourself
save Sune, and lose yourself in love of the Lady Firehair. Perform a loving
act every day, and seek to awaken love in someone new each day. Respond to
love at least once in a day.
"Encourage beauty wherever you find it. Acquire beautiful items of all sorts,
and encourage, sponsor, and protect the artists who produce such things
whenever and wherever you find them.
"Keep your own body as comely as possible and as attractively displayed as
situations warrant. Let hairstyle and clothing best suit your personal
appearance, striving to stir and delight others who look upon you. Moreover,
hide not away, but always seek to present yourself to those around you in a
pleasing variety of garbs and activities so as to move them with love and
desire.
"Love those that respond to your beauty and all beauty, and let warm
friendship and admiration flower where love cannot or dare not."
