Rattling About the
Cage
These are some of the
tales and stories I've picked up on my jaunts around the
city...
Sigil
That
most bizarre city; the place which is at the centre of
the Multiverse, and at the same time some place outside
it. If it don't make sense to you, then that's most
likely a Good Thing. Berks who reckon they understand the
paradoxes of the planes end up barmy faster than the rest
of us. Just nod, smile amiably, and accept you'll never
grasp the dark. It's the safest way.
You want to know the truth of what
Sigil really is? Better be prepared to ask around, berk!
It's a cert that any ten bloods you ask will come up with
a different story. To save you the trouble, there's
dozens recorded here in Brix's Guide to the Cage.
Pick the one you like best and hold it dear, 'cause it's
as true as any other...
The Chattering Mimir Speaks of
Sigil
"Sigil.
The Cage. The City of Doors. The Burg at the Centre of
All. The Nexus. The Beginning of the Ring. These are some
of the many names given to the Burg at the Confluence of
the Planes. It's an impossible place, floating at the top
of an infinite Spire at the centre of the Outlands. It
can be seen from anywhere on the plane, but it can only
be reached through one of the portals created by its
ruler, the Lady of Pain. It's therefore as easy or as
hard to find as She wills.
"Sigil is a city unlike any other.
It is divided into six wards, though the boundaries are
not marked on any map. Here are the headquarters of the
factions, the greatest temples, the toughest bloods and
the most diverse mixture of races in the Planes. The Cage
is in a constant state of war, though blood is rarely
shed openly. Instead it is a war of intrigue and
politics, the kriegstanz, where allegiances change
faster than the weather. The burg is also said to be
filled with those seeking to escape their fates, as no
Power can look within the city.
"To learn more, travel there. More
portals lead to the Cage than any other place. Touts, or
guides, can be found there who will show a traveller
where to go, and where not to go. Pay them well if you
like your information to be accurate."
