Creed: Spread rightful fear of Umberlee, for her wrath is the fury of the waves that swallow ships, shatter seawalls, and rise to race far inland to flood and drown. No ship reaches port with¬out her favor, and no voyage finds its destination without her blessing. Sailors and passengers must make proper prayers and offerings to her, or she will take them, their vessels, and their cargo as her rightful tribute. Never forget Umberlee. Pray to her in need, for she yields up sunken treasure to those who please her. Secular Aims: The priests of the Queen of the Deeps are formally known as the Undrowned, because Umberlee prevents them from drowning. Privately, however, many call them the Drowned. In return for offerings of at least 100 gp per pas¬senger, plus a tenth of the market value of any cargo, an Undrowned will ride any ship on a voy¬age, and Umberlee will see that ship safe to shore, douse any fires onboard, and hurl back pirates or sea creatures that attack it. The Undrowned are not loved, they are feared. Everyone knows that a priest of Umberlee within sight of the sea can call aquatic undead up out of the waves to serve or fight for them. Umber¬lee suffers none of her clergy to become famous. There are nine Undrowned female priestesses for every male priest. All have a reputation for being wanton, but this conduct is merely an attempt to find relief from the chill of the sea (“Umberlee’s touch”) through contact with warm worshipers, usually sailors.
