" Sigil Main" is the name given to sections of the Market, Clerk's, and Guildhall Wards which compromise the mercantile "center" of the City of Doors.
Guildhall and Market Wards[]
The Guildhall and Market Wards mean
business: nonstop, round-the-clock trade conducted by the multiverse’s premiere merchants, craftsmen, and jink jugglers. Sandwiched between The Lady’s Ward and the Clerk‘s Ward, this is Sigil’s most cosmopolitan area - if it walks, crawls, or flies, and has jink to spend, it’s welcome here.
The Market’s where a basher finds the basics: food, medicine, clothing, tools, transport, weapons. Here are players for a dice game or recruits for an excursion to Mount Celestia. And for a body in search of exotic merchandise - wood for a magic wand, polish for an Arcadian emerald, healing syrup for a tiefling with an upset tummy - well, if it ain’t here, it ain’t anywhere, period. The area is also home to the Great Bazaar, the Free League’s headquarters, a plaza where a body can shop for a month and not visit the same merchant’s stall twice. Noted for its open-air cafes, the Great Bazaar’s a perfect place to creature-watch. Another important site’s the Great Gymnasium, headquarters of the Transcendent Order, the bloods who train body and mind to work as one so they don’t have to be bothered with a lot of ponderous thinking. Looking for a food shop or bathhouse? The streets around the Great Gymnasium have Sigil’s finest.
The differences between the Guildhall Ward and the Market Ward are incidental. The Guildhall Ward has a few more Ciphers, the Market Ward a few more Indeps. The Guildhall Ward is more residential, the Market Ward more commercial. For convenience, residents consider Duskgate Road an informal boundary; those living on one side are Guildhallers, those on the other are Marketers.
Clerk's Ward[]
If a body was to pick just one word to describe the ethos of the Clerk‘s Ward, it'd be order. Order manifests itself not only in the attitude of the citizens - for example, custom dictates most workers acknowledge their superiors with a bow - but in the appearance of the ward itself. Streets of the Administrator’s District’re swept every day. Statues of dignitaries’re scrubbed with soap and dried with sponges. Sewers’re kept razorvine-free.
Order, of course, is alsp a consequence of law. And nowhere in Sigil are laws more rigidly enforced - except at Harmonium headquarters. Harmonium patrols make as many as a hundred arrests per night, mostly for unruliness, loitering, and conspiracy. Private guards have the authority to detain and physically reprimand those suspected of threatening the ward’s elite.
