Umberlee

The Wave Mother

Umberlee, Goddess of the Sea Alternate Names: The Bitch Queen, The Queen of the Depths, The Wavemother Domains: Tempest Symbol: Wave curling left and right No community that lives by the sea can ignore the influence of Umberlee, the furious goddess whose tempestuous nature reflects and is reflected by the waters of the deep. Any such community makes sure to host festivals to propitiate the Wavemother and seek her favor. Although mercurial in temperament, she can be generous to those who do her honor, as is any great queen. The Bitch Queen is worshiped out of fear instead of adoration, and ship crews offer her gems, tossed over the side, to calm storm-tossed waters. As her most common moniker suggests, she is viewed as capricious and cruel with no firm ethical outlook; the sea is a savage place, and those who travel it had best be willing to pay the price of challenging her domain. After getting tired of destroying water elementals coming through portals in the ocean she turned some of her followers into what would become known as Triton. She then charged them with protecting the material plane from these elementals.
