Tavern/Temple Setting: The Temple of Umberlee
“As you approach the wooden temple you hear a crash followed by a scream – strange sounds for a place of worship. Upon closer inspection the sounds emanating from the building are more akin to those heard from a bustling tavern, and the intoxicated pirate stumbling out the door leads you to believe that this is, indeed, the case. He vomits on the marble stairs leading up to the door, and a man in an apron swings open an upstairs window to dump a bucket of ale onto the vomit to clean it.”
The Temple of Umberlee is a good location to bring players in need of a nice, humor break from an otherwise serious campaign. The Faerûnian goddess rules the oceans, and is worshipped by anyone who hopes to have safe passage across the seas. Her temple looks like a strange hybrid of a tavern and a church from the outside, with vomit-stained marble stairs leading to a rotting wooden building. Once inside it becomes apparent that the building is much more tavern than it is temple, and the patrons have an interesting method of worship.
“When the door swings open you can see a packed tavern, with hundreds of drunken customers shoved into an area only dozens should fit. They are singing and cursing in the same breath – screaming violent threats at ‘the Bitch Queen’ Umberlee. Near the center of the tavern is a pearly white statue of the goddess herself, with a tap sticking out of her forehead pulling up what would normally be water from the fountain below. However, it appears that the water is thick and clumpy with tobacco, blood, and other bodily fluids, and from time to time a man can be heard screaming “to the Bitch Queen!” and spitting on the statue.”
Generally speaking, the patrons at the Temple of Umberlee are pirates, but they don’t discriminate against anyone else who wants to “worship” their goddess. Usually they are far too drunk to care about whatever it is the party is doing, but can be quick to begin an all out brawl if offended or caught being stolen from. If anyone is caught spitting on the statue that doesn’t look like they might be doing it out of a strange sense of love, there is a good chance that they might find a tankard of ale being swung at their head or a blade at their throat. The patrons are about as peaceful of pirates as you will find, though, as it is of ill fortune to spill blood in temple of the Queen of the Depths, but that will not always stop one intoxicated.
