[QUOTE="Hardhead, post: 526660, member: 2844"] Well, I *did* mention it had speculation. How did Aoskar get in? It wasn't mentioned specifically anywhere, but it's almost blindingly obvious. He was the god of portals, after all! If he did have two heads, as seems likely, he was almost certainly dualistic in some way. Gods form reflects their personality, and my further extrapilations make pretty good sense, I think. The Bois Verdurous and the Signer plans are real, as first mentioned in the Factol's Manifesto. The rumors about Fell were in Uncaged. The Lady couldn't detect Aoskar, or she would have destroyed him sooner. The Focrux is the only known method of avoiding her detection. As for Fell's role in revealing Aoskar, it's speculation, but the fact is that the Lady didn't destroy Aoskar until after Fell defected. It's certainly not a coincidence. The thing about the Gatecrasher, I completly made up. But that's why I said "planar sages think," to show it was speculation. I also made up the fact that their abilities don't work in Sigil, but it'd ruin the setting if they did, so I assume they don't. And they do have an ability only otherwise associated with Aoskar's Blood. An intriguing possibility. So, yeah, there was a good bit of speculation, but it was informed speculation, and it gave him lots of info others hadn't, so hey. Besides, speculation is half the fun of Planescape. Maybe even as much as three quarters. :) [/QUOTE]
