I don't see the logic behind having a literally unbeatable uberdeity just for one city and travel hub.Some individual campaign settings already have mind-crogglingly powerful uberdeities of their own. The most well known is Ao of the Forgotten Realms, who is as far above deities as they are above mortals. He can depower an entire pantheon without half trying. And if he's not enough for you, there's at least one higher step that's as much more powerful again-- a being that Ao himself kneels to and calls Master.If the Lady is powerful enough to keep even Ao and his master out of Sigil, I have to ask why her only demesne is this one city, and why she has a form mortals can comprehend at all.But assuming she's not powerful enough to keep those beings out, then they stay out for reasons of their own. And if they stay out by choice, I think it's perfectly reasonable that the same is true of the "ordinary" gods as well.In the absence of a Lady, PCs may ask why evil, chaotic, or selfish gods do not enter Sigil or set up temples there. The response they get from the gods is: "Mind your own business, puny mortal."</blockquote>
