Three of the four images you mentioned all depict Sigil floating above the Spire, and you point to them as proof that Sigil is pretty much never depicted as floating above the spire.It's true that people couldn't know for sure if the two are related, but it's precisely because a torus is visible floating above the spire that they assume that one is the other. Like Oryan77 said, if people couldn't see a torus floating above the spire then there'd be no reason at all for people to assume Sigil was floating up there. They wouldn't have reason to associate Sigil with the Outlands or Outer Planes at all. It'd be easier to assume that Sigil was a demiplane floating in the ethereal, or an astral island or some other type of unique finite plane.I'm afraid you got caught up in some confusing conjecture. From the inside of Sigil, the city has a measurable and traversible size; approximately 20 miles in circumference and 5 miles in diameter. Residents in the city can walk wherever they want within the city without being teleported around or anything like that. You can see the edge of the city and walk to it just as you could in the real world; it's never more than a few miles away. When you arrive at the edge you'd end up facing a solid wall of buildings without windows facing the outer edge (it makes people uncomfortable to have a view of nothing outside). You could climb up to the roof of any of those buildings and you'd be confronted with that same disturbing view; nothing. No clouds, no sky, just a featureless void. If you stepped out into that void you'd disappear and likely never be heard from again. People have been known to step off into the void, but there are no credible accounts of anyone ever making it back.</p></blockquote><p></p>
