All manner of goods are forged, built, or otherwise produced in the Lower Ward. These goods, and others that have been imported from across the multiverse, are sold in the Market Ward.
A busy place, but very much like Pygmalion in the feel of the place, minus the artists.

*The man leads her into the Lower Ward while talking.*
"Careful which one you choose, if any. They all exaggerate their greatness, making themselves out to be high-ups.
This is the Lower Ward. Raw materials are brought here and refined into products, usually shipped off to the Market Ward we just left."
*The man grabs her arm and pulls her to the side quite suddenly as a gate opens in front of her.*
"Got to be a little careful of that around here."

*she shrugs.*
Huh, need a lot to be impressed by. I know smooth talkers.
*she blinks as she gets pulled aside.*
Wow. Many of those around? Where does it lead to? I will, but if they're so sudden, how?

I will, but if they're so sudden, how? "Good." *The man smiles.* "You get used to it, actually. You're new around here, so those will seem very, very sudden to you. You just have to be careful. Yeah, there are a lot of them around. Don't know where it lead to, don't really want to find out."

*Careful? No time like the present to start...
She takes a deep breath.*
What is this city?
*she blushes for a moment at the question, but she does want to know.*

You're in Sigil, miss, the City of Doors. This place is a huge center for trade and the Dark. One of the best and worst places a cutter can get to."

Best and worst, huh? Can see that.
*Yes, this would do for now. Walking with the guy through the ward, she looks at the handimen, some of them shooing her away for intruding. She shrugs and goes on, thinking.*

It is, yes. We travelled much, but didn't travel across Planes.
*she wonders whether Elli'd be jealous much when she found out. Probably.*
And you? Or have you always been here?

I've traveled a little here and there. I tried my hand at being a Planeswalker... found that it was too much for me. So, I settled here. I still get a lot of what I want here. So what brought you to Sigil?"

A portal. Had to get out of there.
*she thinks.*
Yeah, I can see that. Wouldn't want to visit the Hells myself.
Make enough just guiding people then?

Some of those portals don't lead to prime vacation locales. That would be why I stopped." *He smiles and shakes his head* "No. I do some other things, like sell information. I'm a pretty good spellcaster, so I sell my services in that, too." *The man grins* "Also, no matter what inn I take you too, I get paid for it."

I guess. Though I didn't care much at the time.
*she grins.*
Nice setup you've got there.
*she thinks some more. It seems only logical, especially in a city this size. Worth the gamble.*
Anything like an organisation for rogues around here?

One is the Nightshade, another is the Red Dawn... yeah, that Red Dawn, there's the Silent Ones... the Anarchs, in a sense. There are a lot to choose from. Watch out for the Mercykillers, though. They're relentless and will set you swinging from the leafless tree in no time."

*she grins.*
Nah, you don't.
Nightshade? That sounds familiar. Was one in the last town I was in.
Anarchs? Meh, you can't break rules that aren't there.
*she shrugs.*
I'll keep an eye out. Rather live.
