Within its boundaries are the City Barracks, The Court , The Prison, and the Armoury, things that within the city make for “real wealth and power”. People with both money and influence set their cases in The Lady’s Ward, and many of the city’s temples are based there. It is the quietest and more orderly (as possible as either of those things are here) ward in the city. Greatly contrasting the feel of the rest of the city, most often it is cold and lifeless in comparison, the regular hurly-burly of street life is missing, as pretty much everyone not in the Lady’s Ward are scared of certain hired mercenaries that work as guard, and private police force for the elite. This doesn’t make it an honest ward, although anyone picking purses out of nobles pockets would get snatched up in an instant, the criminals of The Lady’s Ward think on a grander scale, the risks are great, but so are the rewards, and only the finest of burglars can worm their way through the magical protections and alarms that safeguard the ward’s treasures, and only the wisest of thieves can avoid the revenge that is sure to follow such an endeavour.  \n• The Prison (In The Cage: Guide To Sigil p.43)  \n• The Sons of Mercy’s headquarters looks like everything anyone fears. It’s a mass of grim stone and spikes, surrounded by broad avenues. While no longer controlled by the Mercykillers, it still has the reputation that were someone to wander by they would hear a faint wail from within, and if they did they would just keep walking. (Planescape Campaign setting p.316)  \n• The “Shifters Manacles” used in the Prison are designed to prevent them from plane-shifting away.  \nDesign by the Mercykillers long ago when they got sick of seeing beings who could shift at will fly from their cage. The thing is they had to be mass produced quickly, so they’re big and heavy, don’t shrink or expand to fit the being wearing them. Attempting to shift while wearing them not only fails, but also deals damage to the wearer.  \n•  The Temple of the Abyss (In The Cage: Guide To Sigil p.45)  \n• The Temple stands in honour of all the Abyssal Lords,and houses the best-known and most reliable portal to the Abyss. It’s a dark and horrible place that’s tolerated because it gets certain things done discreetly. The current high priest is Nostheroth of the Humber Scales, who is guarded by a retinue of powerful Tanar’ri.  \n• The Serpent Griffon Golems of the Temple have slain hundreds of intruders, and the priests never clean the beast’s claws, to better warn off others. Unlike most golems, these actually devour their screaming victims whole (according to shaken by reliable witnesses) . Their construction is known only to the high priest and the temple's patrons, the Abyssal Lords. Most figure it’s too gruesome to put into practice for any of the most depraved mages, so the dark of it isn’t sought after, despite the golems' obvious power. (in the Cage p.45)  \n•  Temple of Hermes  \n• Most planars don’t concern themselves with any single power, but Hermes has a wide and varied following among Sigil’s travellers. Not just because his temple is said to be connected to Mount Olympus (no one knows how to activate the portal, but Arborean fruits and vegetables come out by the cart load every morning) .  \n•  The Tower of the Wyrm (In the Cage, p.44)  \n• Filled with inhuman cries and well-armed, crisply-saluting guards, the Tower of the Wyrm is the holding pen for troublemakers and petty thieves who have caught the attention of Our Lady. The Tower stands not far from the Prison, and is run by the Sons of Mercy. Those that are smart never mention the place by name, it’s unlucky. Those who do are jinxed/cursed and the only way to shed the hex is to cross a Harmonium palm with silver or gold, much to the annoyance of even the richest of the Sons of Mercy. The tower is named for the faction symbol of the Mercykillers who used to  \n","cbCaiaHZvH0dvMgw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaHZvH0dvMgw","pdf",265530,14,"English","# The Lady’s Ward\n## The Prison\n## The Temple of the Abyss\n## The Temple of Hermes\n## The Tower of the Wyrm\n## The Wyrm Venom\n## The Barracks","[{\"question\":\"Why is The Lady’s Ward considered the richest and most powerful area in Sigil?\",\"answer\":\"Its boundaries contain major power structures like the City Barracks, the Court, the Prison, and the Armoury, and it attracts people with both money and influence seeking advantages there.\"},{\"question\":\"What makes burglary in The Lady’s Ward so dangerous?\",\"answer\":\"The ward has magical protections and alarms guarding its treasures, and criminals face large-scale risks followed by revenge—only the finest burglars can work through it.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the Shifters Manacles function in the Prison?\",\"answer\":\"They prevent prisoners from plane-shifting away; they are heavy and mass-produced, and attempting to shift while wearing them fails and deals damage to the wearer.\"}]","The Lady’s Ward - Sigil Locations Described | PDF",1791272753,22]
