Umberlee (pronounced uhm-ber-LEE ^[1]), also referred to as The Bitch Queen, is the evil sea goddess in the Faerûnian pantheon. She is most often worshiped by sailors or people traveling by sea, out of fear for her destructive powers. She controls the harshness of the sea and while reveling in her own power, is not hesitant to drown people, if she so pleases.

[edit] Worshipers

Temples of Umberlee are few and far between, and the church is not well organized resting on Umberlee's nature of chaos where disputes are ruled in favor of the strongest individual. There are, though, shrines dedicated to her predominantly located at port-cities of the Sea of Fallen Stars and at Nelanther Isles. Here travelers by sea are sure to pay their tribute to her, and the preachings of her clerics are built upon the terrible fate that will fall upon any who do not bring a sacrifice to Umberlee. Clerics are available at these temples who, for a price, will travel with sailors to ensure no harm is inflicted.

[edit] Places of Worship

Apart from the region around the Sea of Fallen Stars and at Nelanther Isles, Umberlee has places of worship at many ports. Among these are a temple in Urmlaspyr, Sembia and a small shrine in city of Marsember in Cormyr. others include:

• Water Queen's House – a temple in Baldur's Gate.
• Halls of the Sea-Born – a temple complex in Cimbar, Chessenta.
• The Queenspire – this new temple complex fronting the harbor in Waterdeep.

[edit] Relationships

Umberlee is strongly opposed to Selûne, whose stars guide navigators at sea, Valkur, who guides travelers safely home, and Sune, whose beauty makes her green with envy.
