Umberlee

Umberlee is a an evil sea goddess in the Faerûnian pantheon, in the fictional setting of Forgotten Realms. She is most often worshipped by sailors or people travelling by sea, out of fear for her destructive powers. She controls the harshness of the sea and, revelling in her own power, she is not hessitant in drowning people at sea, if she so pleases.

It is far between the temples of Umberlee, and the church is not well organized resting on Umberlee's nature of chaos where disputes are ruled in favour of the strongest individual. There are, though, shrines dedicated to her predominately located at port cities of the Sea of Fallen Stars and at Nelanther Isles. Here travellers 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. Also at the shrines are clerics for hire who for a price will travel with sailors to ensure no harm is inflicted.

Relationships
She is in league with the Icemaiden Auril and the Beastlord Malar, under the leadership of the Storm Lord Talos. Together these gods of destruction form the "Gods of Fury" who all reside in the plane of "Fury's Heart". Even though they are in league, Umberlee faces the problem of sailors ascribing her destructive sea stoms to the Storm Lord, sailors who in turn for their misguided beliefs are swiftly punished by Umberlee's wrath.

Umberlee is strongly opposed to Selûne whose stars guide navigators at sea, Valkur who guides travellers safely home, and Sune out of jealousi of her beauty.

Places of worship
Apart from the mentioned regions around the Sea of Fallen Stars and at Nelanther Isles, Umberlee has among other minor places of worship, the following:
 * "Water Queen's House", a temple in Baldur's Gate.
 * Temple in the city of Urmlaspyr in Sembia.
 * Small shrine in the city of Marsember in Cormyr.
