The Queenspire
The Queenspire serves as the temple to Umberlee, located just beyond the South Gate in the city of Waterdeep.
The Queenspire is an azure-hued tower built upon a large outcropping of rock near the end of a large sandbar. In the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR), Dread High Trident Meritid Archneie discovered a magic abalone shell floating in the harbor, which he believed to be the legendary Orglara, a sacred text of the Bitch Queen. Seeing this as a good omen, Meritid promptly petitioned the Lords to use half the annual tithe to construct a temple to the Bitch Queen. Without explanation, the Lords agreed to his unlikely request, and construction was begun on the Queenspire, construction that is now all but complete.
