Sigil – The City of Doors
Sigil, known as the "City of Doors," is a planar metropolis where portals link to any location, provided the proper key is held. It serves as neutral ground for demons, devas, and countless multiversal races under the Lady of Pain.
The city’s philosophy‑centric culture makes words more potent than weapons, and belief can literally reshape reality, influencing both combat and conversation.
- Explore Sigil to discover the keys needed for its many portals.
- Observe how NPC beliefs may alter quest outcomes.
