Planescape

Planescape. this campaign setting was originally created by zeb cook, and nothing like it exists.There is a few things one should know before trying to drive straight into the planeswalking adventures contained within the setting   the first thing ones ought to know is the hub town/plane, sigil and by extension the outlands. The plane known as the outlands is the plane of absolute neutrality, or as close at it can be.various towns and realms exist within outlands but one of the most important parts is the gate-towns, towns set up around a permanent portal to a certain outer plane. outer planes are the realms of the gods, all based around the alignments and the slight bits in between. sigil on the other hand, is the main hub of all planar travel. it is often called the city of door due to the large amount of portals found within it. while the gate towns have permanent portals to planes, sigil has got constantly shifting and changing portals. while some portals in sigil are permanent a large majority seem to due as they please.   while we are on the topic of sigil, the second biggest part of the setting is the factions contained within sigil. they all are based off some form of philosophy or a blend. for example the bleakers are based off a mix of nihilism and cynicism, taken to its maximum, where the bleakers believe the entirety of existence and everything it it has no point to it.the various factions has ally ships, rivalries, and hostilities with one another. the factions would rule over sigil, if it weren't for one influential figure.   the third and final thing one should know is the lady of pain, the ruler of sigil and a possible goddess. no one knows when the lady, and when her city of sigil came into being. to most people, it has and will always be. the lady of pains name comes from her cruelty when dealing with mortals, while she may have some powers of a god, anyone worshiping as such is found flayed shortly after, those that get lucky get sent to a maze like demiplane, if they are really like, they find a way out of the mazes. one cannot truly be off thier guard in sigil with the lady of pain as its ruler.   there is much more to the setting of sigil, and within this world anvil collection of data, i hope to contain all information i can find. many of the entries will have writing taken from source books, as i believe the writers of them said it much better than i or anyone else could.
