[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 1370511, member: 11697"] Two things, for such is the way of the mango. :) First of all, Aoskar did not predate The Lady of Pain within Sigil. Aoskar was simply a greedy, rapacious god of portals who got about as close as any other being to usurping The Lady's position. That is to say, he failed utterly after seemingly getting close. The manner of his death is extreme to say the least. He, a greater god, died along with his clergy and most of his worshippers both in and out of Sigil. Perhaps if it pertains to Sigil, the reach of The Lady can extend outside of Sigil. Of course She can already reach outside of Sigil to the Ethereal to create The Mazes. Unresolved questions certainly. Aoskar may have been present inside Sigil when he died, perhaps purposefully allowed into Sigil, or perhaps before his fall more divine presence was allowed into The Cage. We don't know because history gets vague beyond around 700 years and worse the further back you go. I suspect that he was outside of Sigil when he was killed, but thats just my view. The Lady has, for every mention of Sigil, been entwined with the city and has been alluded to existing at the creation of The City in the utter earliest days of the planes themselves. Of course sources that far back are at best hazy. And secondly, where are the implications of deities locked inside the mazes? I didn't recall that ever appearing anywhere, but you've got me curious now. :) [/QUOTE]
