It has been quite some time since the two of us have exchanged words, though I would beseech you for your wisdom now. There is something that weighs very heavily upon my heart this day. As you know I am very devoted to The Princess of Passion, The Maiden of Beauty, Sune Firehair. Our church was built a number of years ago by some of your brethren. They heard and answered the call by The Lady Sune to form what has been known as The Apostles of Sune. As with any other church, we have had our fair share of problems within the congregation, and many changes have been made in the hierarchy over the years.

Never once have I thought myself to be better than any of my brothers or sisters, and never have I harbored ill will towards them. I have also never petitioned for any higher position, though I was granted Bishop one time, and that was due to my presence within the hallowed walls of the church. I have walked the hallways of the church many times over the last few months, and more often than not I have found myself to be alone

Recently, one of our, ‘leaders’ I guess you could say, stepped down and was to appoint someone to take her place. Since I saw little of anyone else, I decided to throw my name in the hat. I was informed that the choice was already made, and it was to be a bishop who was never around. As soon as that decision was made, the newly appointed leader made herself present most of the time within the church.

I will admit that I was insulted at that, though I took it in stride like I do everything. A bitter heart does not bode well within the walls of The Lady Sune. Though I made the church aware that I would not be around as often as I used to be, to allow myself time to think of things.

I was in my personal sanctuary within the church one day and was asked to take part in an interview for a new member of the church. I closed my prayer book and went into the Temple of Sune to find none other than a drow within our sacred halls! I looked into this drow’s soul and they were pure evil. I am not one to shy away from adding to the congregation, but when someone is as evil as this one was, it tends to make one wary.

I started to make my opinion known and was, in no certain terms, informed that my opinion did not matter. This bothered me so much that I fled the church and have not been back since. I have since found out that this new ‘leader’ is a member of a very evil faction within the realms! How can this be? The Lady Sune detests all that is evil and yet, here it is, plain as day!

I am at a loss Taryn as to what I should do. I fear that if I bring this up to the rest of the church, they will not care. The Gods have more important things to do than to listen to the prattle of mortal.

I have been a follower of Sune since before the church was even formed, and I find myself questioning my faith. If evil is allowed to be at the head of our church, what else will happen?
