The Church

The largest cathedral in Bete Noire.

Original Version
The original version was run-down, old, full of cobwebs and rotting wood and half-collapsed stone. Following its destruction by a demon-possessed power-mad PC, it was ordered demolished by the Magistrate as part of his bargain with God.

Rebuilt Version
After the flood, the Magistrate ordered it rebuilt, and the Department of Culture, under the leadership of Ginny Weasley, proceeded to make it completely fucking awesome. Beautiful stone and stained glass, absolutely gorgeous.

The Crypt
Below the cathedral, behind a locked gate, is a crypt wherein the Magistrates of the city are buried. There is also a carved timeline with the names of all of the Magistrates and when they ruled the city. A note: the carvings appear to be in the reader's native tongue, even though they are several thousand years old.

Only the current Magistrate has the key to the crypt. Samuel David was the latest Magistrate to be buried there.
