Umberlee

Umberlee (pronounced uhm-ber-LEE ), 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.

History
Umberlee once had a relationship with Iakhovas, variously described as a megalodon, wereshark or sharkwere. She even granted him immortality. However, their relationship fell apart, and she sought revenge on him.

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.

Umberlee has worshipers among krakens, sahuagin and other evil sea creatures, even though a few of them worship her through her alias, Panzuriel.

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 – a temple complex fronting the harbor in Waterdeep.
 * Priory of the Depths - a shrine complex north of Port Llast.
 * Brynnlaw - a small temple on the island of Brynnlaw

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

Silvanus is technically Umberlee's supporter, as the ruler of the dominion the Deep Wilds within she resides. However, Umberlee rarely, if ever, sees herself as Silvanus' servant.
