Hello Forum,
I am looking forward to creating a Neutral Good Cleric of the Life Domain who worships SELUNE. I am hoping that I will be allowed to not only recruit Shadowheart [SHAR] but also romance her as well.
This option should be entirely allowed.
Are there not people among our current world society of different faiths who fully love each other? There are many happy mixed couples of Muslin, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, Wicca and Atheist faiths. If you happen to believe that it is more appropriate to compare the world of the Forgotten Realms to life on Ancient Earth than so be it. I believe my theory still applies. Pantheon-ism was definitely more prevalent in early human civilization especial among Egypt, Greece and Scandinavia. People embraced the Gods on a whole as each one represented a different sphere but many chose to worship one that stood for their ideals or their fears. Did people in Egypt who found RA more enticing always want to lash out at follows of SET? No, they did not. Did worshipers of HADES always want to fight followers of APHRODITE in the day to day existence of Greek life? No, they did not.
Plus, SELUNE and SHAR are twin sisters. They definitely each have different thoughts and agendas but each one knows the other is necessary for their existence.
An excerpt from Forgotten Realms lore:
“The goddesses were beautiful, identical but polar opposites, raven-haired and silver-haired, one representing the dark, the other the light in the manner of yin and yang. Yet they were so close they saw themselves as one being, known later as the Two-Faced Goddess or the Sisters-Who-Were-One. They complemented each other and brought order out of the chaos.”
THANK YOU

With all respect, real world religions should not be used as a justification for ingame options.I have nothing against romancing SH with a Selunite, but I don't see how comparing real-world religions to a fantasy setting would or should have any impact on the matter.
