[QUOTE="jasper, post: 9245661, member: 277"] The greatest entity in Sigil is the Lady of Pain, an eternal being who watches over the Cage. She appears almost human, although she most definitely isn’t. She wears ornate robes that shroud her body, and a mantle of blades coated in blue-green verdigris surrounds her masklike face. No one is certain who or what exactly the Lady of Pain is, but it’s widely accepted she’s a being on par with deities. Strong enough to bar gods and their ilk from entering her city, the Lady of Pain forbids followers of her own. To worship her is more than taboo; it is an unforgivable crime punishable by imprisonment in the Mazes. The Lady maintains the cosmic neutrality of Sigil. The city doesn’t take part in the Blood War, it doesn’t throw its weight behind the shining righteousness of Mount Celestia or contracts originating in the Nine Hells, and it’s never a battleground for the conflicts of Material Plane worlds. On rare occasions, the Lady of Pain drifts through the streets, hovering above the ground. Creatures that interfere with her are flayed by her stare or vanish into nothingness as she turns to face them. Wise travelers give the Lady a wide berth, finding pressing business elsewhere as she passes by. Some locals claim that the Lady’s features occasionally take on a golden or steely sheen. Whether this is in response to threats to her city or other influences is a mystery. Residents of Sigil view the Lady of Pain with fearful awe. A distant guardian, she leaves the city’s daily governance to the many factions that call it home. She has no residence, and no temples to her exist within the city. The Lady’s means of protecting Sigil are the dabus, the Mazes, and her complete control over the city’s portals. [/QUOTE]
