"Oh, the Foundry's a place you can't miss once you head into the lower ward. It's where my faction keeps its headquarters in Sigil. Hardest of work for anyone that signs up, but that's just a lesson along the path. See, our philosophy's that existence is a test. You ascend or descend the great wheel based on the lessons you've learned in your lives. But the point, of course, is to ascend. To become a Power, and then to rise even beyond that. That's the whole purpose of the multiverse, for everyone to ascend out of it, eventually. So, that in mind, we're the sort of folk who seek the sort of experiences that challenge us further along the process. And if we can help a few sods along the way to do the same, well, all the better."
She shrugged. "That's the basic gist of it, anyhow. If you want the *funnest* place, though. Well, that'd probably be a place like the Civic Festhall. That's where the Society of Sensation makes their kip. I was almost a Sensate, you know. They're good fun, but in the end I figured they had the right idea but weren't quite there. Hedonism all the time seems like it might be a bit too much, you know?"
"And yep, for sure I was born here. Well, not *here* in the Lady's Ward. Bit too fancy here. You'll find uh, most of the Cage isn't quite this well-kept and clean."
