			=== The Five Bonds of Devotion ===
			All clergy teach these principles. Married devotees often take formal vows to uphold at least two within their own unions.

			==== 1. The Vow is Living ====

			* Marriage is not a single promise but an ongoing act
			* Words spoken in ceremony must be upheld in conduct
			* Renewal of vows is encouraged throughout life

			Dione’s faith places immense weight on spoken oaths of love.

			==== 2. Love Requires Work ====

			* Patience is holier than passion
			* Listening is an act of devotion
			* Conflict resolved peacefully strengthens bonds

			Followers are taught that tranquillity is cultivated, not accidental.

			==== 3. Harmony Over Pride ====

			* Apology is not weakness
			* Forgiveness restores balance
			* Stubbornness corrodes affection

			Clergy often serve as mediators in disputes both domestic and political.

			==== 4. Shelter the Union ====

			* Protect marriage from external harm
			* Guard private matters from public scorn
			* Defend the sanctity of home

			A household is considered a sacred space under Dione’s gaze.

			==== 5. Love Extends Beyond Romance ====

			* Familial devotion is holy
			* Deep friendship is worthy of blessing
			* Communities thrive through mutual care

			Dione’s temples frequently act as centers of charity and reconciliation.

			=== Moral Tendencies ===
			Most followers lean:

			* Neutral Good among common folk
			* Lawful Good among officiants and magistrates
			* Occasionally Chaotic Good among romantics who prioritize love over rigid custom

			Dione values consent and sincerity above strict tradition.

			=== Worship and Practice ===
			Temples are warm, welcoming, and filled with soft light.

			Common practices include:

			* Public wedding ceremonies
			* Annual vow renewal festivals
			* Quiet evening prayer circles
			* Mediation sessions overseen by clergy
			* Blessings for new homes

			Fresh flowers and still water are common temple features, symbolizing living affection and calm stability.

			=== Sacred Rituals ===

			==== The Joining of Rings ====

			* The formal marriage rite
			* Rings are warmed over a gentle flame before being exchanged
			* The couple speaks personal vows before witnesses

			==== The Calmness ====

			* A guided ritual to resolve deep conflict
			* Each partner speaks without interruption while holding a silver thread

			==== The Hearth Blessing ====

			* A priestess or priest consecrates a new household
			* A small flame is lit and shared between partners

			----

			=== Taboos ===

			* Forcing marriage without consent
			* Breaking vows casually
			* Public humiliation of one’s partner
			* Manipulating affection for power
			* Exploiting love to control another

			The gravest sin in Dione’s faith is betrayal of trust.

			=== Clergy Structure ===
			• Hearth Acolyte - Initiate

			• Silver Officiant - Ceremonial Hosts

			• Rosewarden - Church / Chapel Officiant

			• High Matron or High Patron of the Hearth

			Clergy are often calm, empathetic, and skilled in diplomacy.

			== Clerics / Paladins of Dione as Adventurers ==

			* They speak gently but firmly
			* They avoid escalating conflict
			* They defend their loved ones fiercely
			* They believe reconciliation is almost always possible

			In an adventuring party, a cleric or paladin of Dione might:

			* Mediate disputes between companions
			* Advocate mercy when anger flares
			* Perform small blessings before dangerous journeys
			* Maintain correspondence with loved ones back home

			<blockquote>“Gentle Lady of the Hearth,

			Let our words be kind,

			Our tempers steady,

			And our vows unbroken.”</blockquote>
