Fish Bowl
The Fish Bowl is a riverside temple to Besmara in the city of Riddleport.123
This bowl-shaped structure sits atop a stone base, assessable via a staircase cut into the stone construction. The large bowl is filled with seawater and contains several variety of aquatic predators, such as swamp barracudas, bunyips, and reefclaws.3 These beasts are kept under close guard, however, as the clergy is well aware of the harm such creatures can inflict if let loose in the city.1
Although the priests are secretive about their activities, they occasionally use the aquatic predators for grisly sacrificial rites in worship of Besmara. These rites are not without dangers, and even the priests have fallen prey to the beasts.3
Most of Riddleport's seafaring inhabitants visit the temple, at least occasionally, to donate funds and request favors from the Pirate Queen. These visitors are rarely known for their piety or dedication, making their patronage unpredictable at best.
The head of the temple is Ruben Carfay.4
