<p>The Joybringers are fervent devotees of Lady Firehair, embodying her tenets of art, beauty, love, and passion. They are outspoken in their belief that all lives should be filled with these elements and that life should be experienced fully with happiness and joy. They wish to exult in life and have an urge to spread and share the joyous wonders of life with the rest of society.</p>
<p>They firmly believe that the pinnacle of happiness is only achieved when shared—that one's own joy is magnified when those around them are also happy. This belief underpins their commitment to enriching all lives with beauty and joy. Driven by this philosophy, the Joybringers actively engage in and promote public festivities and cultural events, aiming to envelop society in joyous wonders. Their efforts are both altruistic and self-serving, as they understand that to be surrounded by happiness, they must first cultivate it in others.</p>
<p>The Joybringers hold deep respect for those who pursue their heart's desires. They encourage individuals to act on their passions, whether its a youth mustering the courage to declare love or an artist creating works true to their soul. They preach the importance of letting go of fears and reservations, boldly chasing ones dreams, as a life unchased is a life unfulfilled.</p>
<p>Central to their belief is the concept of self-love and self-expression. You should always seek to become who you want to be—to become your true self. This is why the Joybringers teach the arts of personal presentation and self-styling, helping individuals to discover and express their inner beauty. This focus on appearance and presentation can sometimes be misinterpreted as vanity, and they often struggle to understand those who do not place similar value on outward expression. This is also partly due to their belief that understanding and showcasing one's true self is crucial to personal fulfillment.</p>

This focus on appearance and presentation can sometimes be misinterpreted as vanity, and they often struggle to understand those who do not place similar value on outward expression. This is also partly due to their belief that understanding and showcasing one's true self is crucial to personal fulfillment. They may, however, end up showing displeasure towards those they perceive as neglecting self-care or harboring negative views on art.</p>
<p>All Joybringers are artists in their own right, viewing art as a powerful medium for overcoming life's challenges. No matter how lost you may feel or how much hardship you're experiencing, you can find your true path forward through the wonders of artistry. They believe that engaging with art—whether creating it or experiencing it—can free the soul and provide profound insights into lifes complexities. Art, in any form, is seen as a sanctuary for those burdened by lifes hardships, a path for experiencing the greatness and wonders of life, and as a medium from which to find your true self.</p>
<p>However, the exalted pursuit of these tenets can sometimes veer into the realm of luxury, with followers indulging in extravagance under the guise of fulfilling Lady Firehair's commandments. This misinterpretation can blur the lines between genuine spiritual fulfillment and mere material indulgence, challenging the Joybringers to continually clarify and exemplify the true essence of their faith.</p>

<p>Beliefs: Values those who are artistically &nbsp;gifted - i.e. their own twist on meritocratic values. If you're beautiful (i.e. make efforts to present yourself as pleasing as possible) and for example good at playing music, then they'll be welcoming. If you're not taking care of yourself and is artistically inept - when you may be able to convince them to teach you - though asking for other favors will probably be met with a straight no.</p>

<h2>Organization</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hierarchy can be rather fluid. Who leads what &nbsp;activity can change depending on how much fervor and charisma they bring to whatever's going on at the moment (if a group of Joybringers has one leader for planning one activity, then they may have another for the next their partake in, simply because another member had a stronger fervor in how that endeavor should be mete out.). Only the more administrative and financially responsible roles tend to be more rigid, mostly due to these requiring a degree for foresight and planning in order to function properly.</li>
<li>The Sunite church's hierarchy was quite loose. The clergy was decentralized and rank was mainly based on artistic feats and seniority. In late 15th century <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/DR">DR</a>, the ranks were: Novices, Acolytes, Esthetes (confirmed priests), Craefters of the Third Altar, Craefters of the Fourth Altar (and so on, up to Ninth Altar), Philocalist, Archphilocalist, Enrapturand, and High Enrapturand.<a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Church_of_Sune#cite_note-EGTweets-10"><sup>[10]</sup></a></li>
