Sigil Wards Flashcards
Clerk’s Ward
Description: The wheels of bureaucracy turn steadily in this administration haven for book keepers, scribes and petty officials. The pristine buildings within this affluent ward are well maintained and regularly patrolled by the Harmonium. Has an element of wonder due to the Sensate presence.

Lady’s Ward

Lower Ward
Description: Industrial smog and fumes blanket a noisy tangle of bellowing forges, magical refineries, and alchemical emissions. Craftspeople of all sorts make their homes here. The ward gets its name from the abundance of portals to the Lower Planes here that bleed insidious influence, brimstone, smoke, and sulfuric ash. The building erode unless protected.

Undersigil
Description: Also known as the Realms Below, the snaking labyrinth of ancient tunnels binds standing city structures and subterranean criminal crossroad, flooded cisterns, and seemingly endless catacombs. Monsters and unusual pests plague Undersigil. Screams of terror echo in its deserted halls, muffled by the leathery wings of vargouilles and rustling tangle of razorvine blights.
Factions: Dying factions
Locations: Dead Nations, Drowned Nations, The Loop, Nowhere, Warrens of Thought
Situation: Underneath the rest of Sigil
