Great Bazzar

It’s fitting that the Free League doesn’t have an actual building for a headquarters, for that’d rather defeat the purpose of “freedom.” Throughout Sigil, a number of places offer safe haven to Indeps - usually in exchange for their hiring on as guards for some future caravan run. Primarily, though, Free Leaguers gather in the plaza holding the tents, caravans, and wagons of the Bazaar (sometimes called the Great or Grand Bazaar).

Purpose / Function

Located in the Market Ward, the Bazaar covers a number of avenues and adjoining side streets, spreading out like the legs of a monstrous spider. Inside the Bazaar a berk can find literally anything he might happen to want. Or rather, he can find a merchant selling the item: whether the item’s actually present is another matter entirely. The plaza’s covered with peddlers’ stands and tents; anything that can’t be carried or hauled in is kept in bags of holding or other multidimensional devices. ’Course, anybody who buys something that’s not physically present right then and there and doesn’t confirm it actually exists is just asking to he peeled. And that‘s not to mention the pickpockets, fleecers, and other knights of the cross trade that’ll mark a soft target in an instant. A body’s got to be careful in the packed aisles of the Bazaar. It‘s not a place for the naive or sympathetic, for fast-talkers and beggars’ll get a sod every time.
But the Bazaar does offer one thing of genuine value: freedom. The Indeps see to that. A merchant‘s free to ply his trade and get an honest wage for it; he doesn’t need to gild the hand of some high-up lie be might in one of the other wards.Even the smallest peddler can take his wares to the Bazaar, and the Indeps make sure he gets booth space that won’t cost him his firstborn

Architecture

Unlike most other faction headquarters, the Great Bazaar isn’t contained in a single building. Rather, it’s spread out over a magnificent open-air plaza, a huge square of tents, shops, and stalls. The Bazaar is a cacophony of sounds - shouts, clanks, shrieks, barks, whistles - and a sea of smells - hot bread, peach perfume, fresh paint. Though generally confined to the plaza, the Bazaar has no formal borders; a merchant who can’t find room to set up shop on the plaza is squeezed onto a side street. On any given day, then, the Great Bazaar might not only be Sigil’s busiest faction headquarters, but also the largest
