Temple of Umberlee

Services at this long-standing sea god’s temple are well attended. The congregation is led by an undrowned one-legged former whaler: Wellgar Brinehanded (CE male human priest), an older human man with a sharp memory for every storm, lost ship, and enormous catch ever brought into Saltmarsh harbor. He knows many fanciful stories of shipwrecks, lucky escapes, and famous captains. Matters ashore rarely interest him, but the temple and its bell tower are also served by a half-dozen novitiates and laypeople who keep things running smoothly. Wellgar uses the blessings of Umberlee to seek out shipwrecks in order to recover the remains of sailors for unknown reasons and shipwreck treasures to fund the chiurch. He is willing to trade cleric spells of up to 5th level, including raise dead, in return for recovery of the remains he seeks.
The Temple is not loved in town, but nobody will dare displace them due to the power of Umberlee.
Veenaira tried to ply her services here but the Priest was far too abusive.
