The Old Minster

The Old Minster was a great big church in central Waterdeep. It was an old 7th-century gothic style church, once dedicated to Tyr, but then renovated in the early 1400s and again in 1525ish.
In 1502, Fionn McCullen and Jed Wood hunted down one member of the Eye Thieves here, after a short battle involving Shocking Grasp and some holy pools of water.
In the years between, the back room office was connected to the phone line as Portico 7777.
In 1560, Éothain's Funeral happened here, which was a very important event, as the Oracles made themselves known by attacking the service. See the page for details.
In the winter of 1560-61, during the Oracle occupation of Waterdeep, the basement of the Minster was used as the local HQ, housing Adrienne Ophiuchus and Don Zaretti's offices and their loyal guards. 
In late spring 1561, the Night Watch tunnelled in here as the antimagic field over Waterdeep was activated. They fought Adrienne in the main hall, but the Lakayan fleet bombarded the city. Errant cannonfire turned the Minster into rubble and ruins, the worst state it had been in since the 7th century.
