I seem to have misplaced the book where it is in...Could anyone help me out by telling me the name of the order the Paladins of Sune are in?
Also, how they might differ from regular paladins ( they are still LG but Sune is CG, after all). |

Bright day
This is really tangential but I partly disagree with Sarta's B1. I think humble paladin should accept the hardships of creating beauty from bottom up. That to grow beautifull roses you have to dirty your hands.
oops  , I did not notice how old this is |

I'm not sure that they've outlined various orders unless it is in Faiths and Avatars (which I've recently loaned out). Neither F&P nor the FRCS make mention of specific orders by name.
Feel free to make one or more up for your campaign.
There are several different directions one could go for this:
1. Paladins who seek retribution from those who spoil or deface works of beauty or those who disfigure or maim people.
2. Guardians of Temples and Priests.
3. Knights errant who take up quests for the benefit of the church and the church's petitioners, as well as take part in tournaments and matters of courtly love.
4. Knights who hunt down the most vile of creatures as per the blurb in the FRCS.
For a bit of extra flavor with a paladin (or cleric or hartwarder) character consider these bits of flavor that F&P offers:
1. Followers of Sune will often disguise themselves when doing something that would get them dirty, to both protect themselves and to disguise their identity.
2. Clerics of Sune (and one would imagine paladins as well) will study an artform of one kind or another, with dance being a default if no other is suitable. Any profits from this artform are turned over to the church.
I've played a couple over the years and they are a great change of pace from the traditional portrayal of paladins. For both, I took Sune's dogma and adapted it to my paladin's oath (which definitely is quite different from any other paladin oath).
One of my favorite encounters had us defending an outcast from a village's farm from a smallish drow invasion. It turns out that he was an outcast due to being a practicing bigamist (both wives being very happy with the situation). After defending his farm (and the village as well in the process), I was able to give a pretty good impromptu speech to the village regarding the farmer's bravery, heroism, the fact that he had been blessed with more love in his heart than any one woman could fulfill, and that the village should be ashamed for treating him and his household as anything less than heroic and worthy of inclusion. |

Furthermore, there's substitution levels for the members of the Sunite paladin order in Champions of Valor. |
