This tells me that James Wyatt (whom I have tremendous respect for as the story guy) did not see a place or need for it, but had to put it in at the insistence of his editor. W&M implies that the City of Brass serves the purpose of Sigil in 4E.Now, if 4E does with Sigil as it does most other things--retain the core concept and then completely rebuild the execution(which I like), then having a location that has doors to other dominions can work. Note I did not say 'a city that has doors to other dominions--an extraplanar cosmopolitan metropolis would be a huge black mark on the new-and-much-improved 4E cosmology and overall PoL concept, IMO.i can see Sigil as a bleak, almost deserted maze-ish place. No one goes there if there is any other alternative. When there, the goal is getting in and finding a way out (but hopefully the way you want) before the Lady of Pain (or her minions) becomes aware of your presence. If you are discovered, it may be best to take your chances with the nearest door rather than face the Lady.</blockquote>
