Church of Huthunic (the Accursed)
(Church 002)
Introduction:

This hidden church of Huthunic consists of a collection of subterrannean rooms that span two levels and three connecting legitimate businesses that span two levels above ground. Nine priests and nearly double that number in novices serve at this church, but none live in the church itself.

The three businesses are a merchant's warehouse and office, a litigant's office and home, and a tavern. The litigant, master merchant and tavernkeeper all work in support of the church. The litigant is a senior priest of the church.
