“The Lady creates portals that lead everywhere, and when she w a s she doses them.Most of the simple portals look like doorways they only take cutters elsewhere when they carry the right key, and a key could be anything - a silver blade, a secret word, or an elaborately illuminated deck of cards.
Whether they’re living in wealth or squalor, smart cutters set up their cases in Sigil. No matter what a cutter hears, most of the planes ain’t that friendly to strangers, whether they’re planar or prime or something else. Under the Lady’s watchful and serene gaze, Sigil stays out of the politics and bloodshed of the conflicts raging throughout the planes, especially the lower ones where the Blood War never stops. “Sigil’s the Crossroads, the great, shudderin’ home to all the planewalkers of the Great Ring. Not everything there is to know, mind you: That’d cost extra. My name’s Etain the Quick, and I do my level best to tell a cutter everything he needs to know to survive in Sigil. That’s why the cutters who set their cases - uh, their homes - in Sigil call themselves place best are us who teach we’re known as touts. Why? “Sigil’s a cage for everyone: for the celestials, for the fiends, for the tieflings and the Clueless, and for the Lady. It’s called the City of Doors ’cause it’s the center of the multiverse, or leastways, a body can get S I anywhere from here through the city’s portals. They’re servants of the Lady of Pain, who rules the City of Doors and keeps it safe. They speak to each other with those illusions. Makes you dizzy, don’t it, seeing the city of Sigil above you? See, living in an impossible city ain’t always simple. Mind you don’t brush against the grime there’s lots of soot-stained walls here. Walk with me through the murky twilight for a moment and I’ll teach you the dark of things that’d be the secrets, for a clueless traveler like yourself. LE+’S GB!
