Temple to Valkur

Valkur, the Captain of the Waves, is an exarch of Tempus, patron of sailors, ships, favorable winds, and naval combat. Valkur's philosophy often puts him in conflict with the capricious ocean-goddess Umberlee—it is in fact believed that he may have once been a mortal sailor who challenged the Bitch Queen and emerged victorious.

The Wavehall was formerly a warehouse that was bought and transformed by sailors of Waterdeep and transformed into a temple to their patron god. Its clergy was and remains loosely organized, as many of Valkur's clerics serve as captains or sailors aboard ships and thus its Whaterdavian clergy is a revolving door of persons. The Wavehall is notable for helping sailors who are down on their luck.

The only holy day of Valkur is known as the Shattering: the first day in spring when the ice in the Deepwater Harbour breaks. As a result, the exact date varies. The Shattering marks the start of the sailing season and is commemorated by launching and naming one new ship, which sails around the harbor crewed by Valkuran clergy. It also features the unfurling of new sails that are blessed by the clergy.
