Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shemeska" data-source="post: 3443796" data-attributes="member: 11697">Lemme also point out that there is no recorded history that details any point in which Sigil existed without the Lady. When the fiends first stumbled upon Sigil's existance, the Lady of Pain was already there (and the fiends very quickly learned that the city was not to become another Blood War battlefield or method of transit in that conflict). An apocryphal book of githyanki history has a line that refers to a period of "when beings still existed who remembered a time before the building of then-bejeweled Sigil", but the accuracy is questionable and there's nothing else to back it up. As far as anyone knows, it might have already been there when the Outlands first emerged as a plane.And one notion about Aoskar. I've always been fold of the speculative notion that Fell never betrayed the Lady, but he became Aoskar's proxy intentionally, in order to give Aoskar a foothold in Sigil. Fell might have opened the door for him and drawn a fraction of his power inside the city before Aoskar realized that it was both far too late to take it back, and he was doomed in the process because he'd made himself vulnerable to the Lady. If she's restricted to acting only inside Sigil (and we'll ignore some potential caveats for the moment), she might have had to lure Aoskar in before being able to kill him, and Fell's professed faith might have been a lure.</blockquote>
