Hall of Information

An adjunct to the Hall of Records, the Hall of Information may be Sigil's most valuable resource. Located in the City of Doors' Clerk's Ward, the Hall provides general information about government operations, cultural affairs, and private sector services. Cagers and visitors with routine questions are directed here. Among the services the Hall may be able to provide are:

• Locating a missing relative.
• Giving directions to a Lower Ward inn.
• Recommending a reputable pawnbroker in the Market Ward.
• Mediating a dispute with a merchant.
• Petitioning for government employment.
• Rectifying a mistaken tax assessment.
• Explaining the status of a civil war in Acheron.
• Arranging a meeting with a wealthy landowner.

Located midway between the Hall of Speakers and the Hall of Records, the Hall of Information's a stately edifice of blue marble edged in onyx, its sparkling crystal windows framed in turquoise. A pair of marble ramps leading inside runs between three marble columns. The words on each column (one per capital) taken together summarize the Hall's credo: COOPERATION, COMPLIANCE, and CONTROL.

Inside, a steward'll arrange an appointment with the appropriate official and collect the fee, when applicable. After cutters make an appointment, they may look around a bit, so long as they speak in hushed tones, avoid disturbing any of the officers, keep their hands off the clean walls, and stay away from the chief, a bariaur named Bordon Mok. A force of Mercykiller guards keeps an eye out for troublemakers.

Note: Sigil's Hall of Information originally appeared in the Planescape AD&D campaign setting from TSR. Additional information can be found in In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil. Its use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
