Message: <blockquote data-quote="JustKim" data-source="post: 3443700" data-attributes="member: 5478">There's some confusion about Aoskar and the Lady of Pain here.First of all, Aoskar is in no way pre-Lady. Questionably canon novels aside, there is no record of anything pre-Lady. The Lady of Pain is Sigil and neither has ever existed without the other. Aoskar was a god of portals, and his influence extended into Sigil because it has always been a place of portals. What is now the Shattered Temple was a temple of Aoskar, which was destroyed when the Lady of Pain killed him. Yes, she killed Aoskar. The Athar use the Shattered Temple as their base because of the symbology behind a dead god, and the Signers had a long-running plot thread where a sect was attempting to believe Aoskar back into existance. There's no "some believe the Lady killed him," he is floating in the Astral dead as a doornail.The Lady does float. She does not tolerate worship (being anti-deity) and her shadow has flayed those who revere her. It's suggested that her shadow flays anybody it falls on all willy-nilly, but I think that's just Sigilian urban legend. If she destroys everyone she floats over, then it would be idiotic to say that she certainly destroys adorers. That's like saying that a Mack truck kills any animal it hits because it really wants to kill raccoons.As for the Spire being infinite with an observable end, think of it like this: how far would you have to climb to reach the moon? The sun? A distant star? You can see the end because it is there, but it is essentially unreachable.</blockquote>
