Sons of Mercy

The Sons of Mercy are the acting police force of the city of Sigil. While the dabus of the city perform maintenance and occasionally crush riots or rebellion, the Sons of Mercy are a vigilante force that attempts to dissuade or punish crime. The Sons of Mercy originated with the Mercykillers, one of the factions that was disbanded by the Lady of Pain following the Faction War in the 14th century DR (Faerûn counting). Although the organisation tries to bring order to the anarchic city, it has no formal power and garners little respect from the population. It can only exert its authority via force, and as such, physically or magically powerful denizens are out of its reach. The Sons of Mercy also oversee Sigil's prison, where they house inmates until their debt to society has been paid.
