My questions are: is Sune an interloper goddess, and if so from which pantheon? I know Tyr is, and Corellon is worshipped by elves all over the place, but what about Sune?
Sune isn't an interloper deity. Ed's Down to Earth Divinities in DRAGON #54 tells us that Sune was inspired by Aphrodite.
I have a "sometimes" theory however that Sune may in fact be a separated aspect of Aphrodite and interloped with her sister Tyche, into the Realms.

The Far Realm is a Lovecraft-inspired realm of madness. Its most recent detailing was in Manual of the Planes 3e. It received several mentions in the older lore... mostly in relation to illithids -- The Illithiad being a prime example of this.
Well, Sage, Hoondatha raised the same question which I did in a scroll of my own which I penned in ignorance of this one. Tyr and Correllon are multi-sphere deities, but Sune apparently isn't. I think the time hath come to finally ask Ed about her and the Dragonking, and pray that he doesn't just tell us that it's a mystery of the gods!
OT to poor scribes: to make a quick bit of cash, wager your group's self-proclaimed experts on the Realms that they can't name the deity who has access to the highest arcane spellcasting slot. Or the one non-evil deity who has a higher divine rank than Cyric.
Answers: Sune(!!!), with spell slot twenty available to her, more than Azuth (19) or Mystra Mk II (18). The non-evil deity who can kick Cyric's butt? Chauntea!
