WHAT USE IS A CAGE WITHOUT OCCUPANTS?

It depends on the occupant's point of view, of course, as to whether they're prisoners or just visiting. Ask a Carcerian and they'll tell you that Sigil's the Ultimate Cage, where the only doors out are controlled by the Lady of Pain, the Final Jailer. Most Sigilians ain't so morbid about it, of course.

Still, a Cage without a Cager ain't much good to anyone, and Sigil certainly has its fair share of local bloods. You asked the Mimir about the Cage Rattlers (that's the name I call the bloods who think the loudest and longest, the ones with the most vital schemes, or the best darks), so I'll tell you about them. There's a list of the cutters I've got more dark on just below...

'Course, if you hear of any more Cage Rattlers, you know who to tell, don't you, basher?
