Your best bet is to look in the back of that old Planescape product On Hallowed Ground which breaks down pretty much every god there was in 2E into their various categories. Aoskar is, iirc, listed in the section on dead gods, and is indeed in the Astral as a god-corpse island.If you're trying to make it harder for the players to actually get godsblood from his corpse, there are several ways you can do so, despite the ease of locating anything on the Astral (since you just think of travelling there, and you begin to move towards it). You could rule that a githyanki city has already been built there, and they attack visitors. Perhaps the Guardian of Dead Gods has declared that particular god-corpse untouchable, and has his proxy attack people who venture to it (or he attacks himself, but there's virtually no hope of surviving that). Of course, god-corpses themselves can have inherent dangers, as seen in both 2E's Dead Gods and Malhavoc Press's Requiem for a God (both done by Monte Cook).On the idea of sending your PCs through a Lady of Pain-esque maze...not a good idea. For one thing, you only get sent to the Mazes if you piss the Lady off, and when you get there, you aren't supposed to be able to get out, since the return portal is virtually impossible to find (Ravel Puzzlewell spent centuries upon centuries before she found hers, and it drove her too mad to use it; exceptions are possible though, like that female githyanki in Uncaged:Faces of Sigil that follows her own astral pattern out of a maze). Also, Aoskar's corpse wouldn't be there anyway, since the Lady's Mazes are in the Ethereal Plane, and dead gods go to the Astral. The only way some of his dead body would end up in a Maze is if someone got some into Sigil (which would violate the ban on gods; the bit with a dead god in Sigil at the end of Dead Gods is an anomoly) and then got sent to the Mazes with it.Hope that helps!</blockquote>
