|If you're ready to survive in worlds of extremes, if you’
ready to explore whe
Don't look so surprised, sir prime: You're
standing there with an addle-coved look on your
face and your bone-box wide open. You're
practically crying ‘bob me’ to the peelers around
here. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Etain the
Quick, professional tout: Best guide in
the multiverse!
Formalities first. Just 12 silvers, berk, and we'll
be off on a tour that'll make your guts crawl.
What? You can’t find your purse? Well, look at
this, must have fallen
into my own hand. Pl
just help myself, and
here’s your
jink back.
Best keep your hand on it from now on—you can’t
be too peery around here,
Try not to look up if you're feeling a bit queasy.
It takes some time before most Clueless get used
to seeing the city curve away overhead. No doubt,
Sigil’s different from any place you've ever been=,
it’s like the city’s wrapped inside the curve of a
hollowed-out wagon wheel, if you get my
meaning, Step lively now, ‘cause we've got lots to
see and [don’t have all day.
This is Sigil, City of Doors, the Cage,
| crossroads of the multiverse, In the planes
you'll spy things you'd never even begin to
imagine. You'll see angelic devas drinking bub
£ with toadlike slaadi. You'll see
| barmy wizards living |
gone castles. You'll see an
f, eternal Blood War between
fiends bent on annihilation,Wy
FLCOME
And you'll see gods. All you have to do is walk
through the right kind of portal, and you
can go anywhere.
But don’t worry about bumping into a god on
the street in the Cage—the Lady keeps them out of
Sigil. That's the Lady of Pain: She runs Sigil, and
keeps a serene and watchful gaze on things in
whole. She’s the one who creates and removes the
portals—more on those later. All a body need
remember is that she’s not to be peeled—not to be
crossed. The Lady keeps Sigil out of the politics
and bloodshed that rage through the planes, and
she does it with an active hand. Those who defy
her rule end up alone in the Mazes~their own
little prison demiplanes—with her compliments. Or
else they're flayed alive, just
by her gaze!
Watch your step~that street's closing in! Looks
like the Lady’s doing some more rearranging.
Think of it this way: Sigil’s not some third-rate
burg somewhere. It’s alive. Sometimes at night, or
when the smoke and drizzle ain’t so bad, a cutter
can almost feel the city breathing. It grows, it
shrinks, whole streets disappear, and true Cagers
don’t skip a beat. Yes, it’s alive. BM that don’t
mean its got a heart.
We've got lots fo cover yet: dabug factions,
those pesky cranium rats...if you'reja goodMoxstivs Coweexone *P en
