"Is there a temple here, or maybe a scholar that deals specifically with the undead? I'm sorry I am not much help right now, but I am learning as much as I can as quickly as I can." Rawly is thinking there might be a library here, or maybe a temple that can lead us in the right direction when he has a thought...

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Asking around, Rawly comes to know that there are five main temples in Port Nyanzaru.
The Temple of Savras (area 7) is probably the biggest and Grand Father Zitembe is a wise and respected man. Savras is a deity of wizards, fortune tellers, diviners, and those who unfailingly speak the truth regardless of whether listeners want to hear it. His symbol is a monstrous eye or a crystal ball filled with eyes. Savras’s temple is one of the oldest, grandest buildings in the city. The tiled roof of its great dome resembles an unblinking eye, staring skyward.
The Temple of Gond (area 8) looms behind the royal docks. It’s popular among Port Nyanzaru’s many artisans, craftspeople, smiths, ivory carvers, and hydro-engineers. Where most such temples have a forge as a centrepiece, this one features an immense fountain whose water jets shift continually to create amazing shapes. It’s all done with nozzles and valves moving on cams, driven by the city’s plentiful water pressure.
Isolated atop a rock formation in the sea, the temple of Sune (area 9) is reachable only by an elevated causeway from Temple Hill or by boat. Steep steps wind up the cliff from the temple’s small harbour. When seen from a distance, the temple’s roof seems to float in mid-air — an illusion created by mirrors lining the outside walls.
The Hall of Gold (area 21) is a temple to Waukeen, but residents call it the Hall of Gold for its shining, golden roof and for Waukeen’s focus on trade and wealth. Mount Sibasa is the highest point in the city, and when the sun is shining, light glinting off the temple roof can be seen for miles out at sea. Some city residents swear that the roof is sheathed in pure burnished gold, but it's only painted. A wide stone bridge connects Mount Sibasa to the Grand Coliseum on Yklwazi Hill. The chief priest of Waukeen in Port Nyanzaru is Sibonseni, Mother of Prosperity, one of the city’s most influential residents after the merchant princes.
Tymora’s temple (area 24) is built like a sturdy blockhouse of heavy stone. It’s not an elegant structure, but residents rely on it to be a safe refuge when floodwater pours down Malar’s Throat or when the alarm horns blow and there’s no time to reach the safety of the city before undead swarm up the ravine.
(OOC - since the threat seems to be magical in nature from what we gather (?) I would guess the Temple of Savras would be a good place to start since he is the god of wizards and mages)
While doing shopping and asking about temple and faiths, Hellmuth hears the following rumour from a merchant:
Deep in the heart of the jungle is a city built by minotaurs. It’s now overrun by snake people, but even worse things dwell below. In visions, I have seen strange devils screaming in the dark.
OOC Lyorna doesn't hear anything of particular interest.
OOC: Has Lyorna heard of this city or the snake people? History: 5
Lyorna does know that 'snake people' is a reference to the Yuan-ti, evil beings partly human and partly snake, prone to slavery and sacrifices. However, she has never encountered them or heard of any city.
Rawly will check his new book out and see if there is any useful information to share with the group.
He will also suggest, "Maybe that Temple of Savras can give us the truth we are looking for?"
((OOG What is the Temple of Sune? ))

Sune is the goddess of love and beauty.
In Volo's Guide to Monsters, Rawly can find an entire section on Yuan-ti. In short, Yuan-ti were once humans who, by means of evil rituals and sacrifices, attained the characteristics, both physical and mental, of snakes. Deceitful, sneaky and evil they like slavery and see any other race inferior and good only to be sacrificed.
Nemaia heard this rumours from a tabaxi fishmonger, which claims, among other things, to have a second cousin who loves eating giant crabs.
Long ago, a peaceful tribe of fisherfolk called the Aldani angered Ubtao by catching and eating all the lobsters in a river. As punishment for their greed, they were all transformed into monsters that dwell in the Aldani Basin.
OOC I am uploading these rumors on the campaign page.
"There appears to be monsters in the jungle, somewhere in the Aldani Basin," Nemaia told the group. "I don't know how much to believe of these rumors, and none of it seems to point us in the direction of this Soulmonger." She looked around the marketplace. "We need to try a different angle, perhaps?"
