10. Temple of Umberlee

Having decided on a diplomatic approach first, the party enters through the temple's main thoroughfare. Though far from the grandeur of the Temple District, this edifice dedicated to the Wavemother is awe-inspiring in its own way. Pillars and walls are inlaid with mosaics of waves and clouds and creatures of the sea. The side closest to the ocean is open to the elements, wet with the spray of waves crashing against rock.

Despite Umberlee's fickle reputation (or perhaps because of it) there are many visitors tossing coins and other offerings over the rail and down into the ocean's depths. Common fishermen, sailors, and decorated sea captains alike pray for safe voyages and bounteous nets.

The priestesses stand out among the crowd with their billowy clothes and ribbons that stir in the salty breeze, and their faces are painted with blues, whites, and greens reminiscent of currents and winds.

Golden scales catch the light as Dieter pulls the wrapping back. From the look of the horns and facial structure, it's more likely to be Belt's child than not.

Somber package in Dieter's arms, the party heads back to the Temple of Lathander.
