But looks like they've bumped the timeline a good century or so post-FW if Arwyl is well into a second century of life. And given Nilesia's rumored fate post FW (either sold into fiendish slavery or publically flayed by The Lady*) it's interesting to speculate on who exactly her daughter might be (the idea of it being Darkwood's kid is an -awesome- plot hook to play with...)*any mention of that possible fate? I feel kinda guilty on that...And what do they mention as hooks for a possible Nilesia return?I'd have deeper comments, but I don't subscribe to the DDI, and otherwise I haven't yet had the opportunity to read the article in full. But from what I've heard here, and elsewhere, it's rather well written and again while it's a variant Sigil set in a different setting, it seems faithful to Sigil's atmosphere and much of its prior history when possible. It did not receive a 4e FR treatment, which is very nice to see.And if they did bump the timeline up a century or so, that's about what I did with my current campaign, so no complaints there for me.</blockquote>
