Editing Sigil (section)

==People of Note==
'''[[Lady of Pain|The Lady of Pain]]''': Her Serenity, the Lady of Pain. She's Sigil's keeper, not quite a queen or ruler but neither is she a god. She's the ultimate and final authority: what she says goes on pain of being turned into bloody bacon strips or gets cast into a maze from which there is no escape.

'''Adamok Ebon''': A female [[bladeling]] ranger who lives to hunt the most dangerous creatures in the planes. Also makes a handy living as a wilderness guide and in domesticating wild animals.

'''A'kin''': An [[Yugoloth|Arcanoloth]] running a shop of magical trinkets called The Friendly Fiend. Some of these are mere oddities while others include the standard fare of magical swords, armor and other wondrous items an adventurer might need. The unceasing joviality of A'kin paired with his generous and no-pressure style of sale make a lot of people very nervous around him, but as an oddity and his wide array of merchandice make him quite the persona even in Sigil. He often strikes up a conversation about everyday matters and sometimes drops in some rather personal remarks that he could not know about and assures a person that they talked about earlier. A wild series of stories makes the rounds about A'kin: some claim he's been exiled and lives in fear of the day that the General of Gehenna sends an [[assassin]], but this is unlikely because A'kin makes no effort to hide. Other rumors include that he's an agent in the [[Blood War]], working for the [[Baatezu]], [[Tanar'ri]], both or even a third party. Others claim that he's outright barmy, since he never shows the temper that his fellow Arcanoloth, Shemeshka, shows from time to time. Finally there's the idea that he's planning a scheme so vile that requires a long, difficult deception to pull off. A'kin dodges or just does not answer any question regarding the issue and tries to turn the conversation back to a sale.

After the events of the [[Faction War]] it was revealed that A'kin was the editor of ''The Factol's Manifesto'', the both in-universe and real-life book that made him turn whistleblower on all fifteen of Sigil's Factions, meaning that there is indeed far more to the Friendly Fiend than appears at first sight.

'''Alluvius Ruskin''': An old female tiefling who runs a shop selling gate-keys of every kind imagianble. Secretly, she's one of the last of the [[Incanterium|incantifiers]], and yearns to find some way to overthrow the Lady of Pain, perhaps by draining all the magic from Sigil itself. She's also an evil-minded bitch who buys gemstones from Ly'kritch - gems containing trapped souls - because she fervently hopes that the souls inside are obliterated when the gems are used as portal keys.

'''Autochon the Bellringer''': Head of the biggest courier network in the city. Pissed off the head of the Temple of the Abyss, the [[tiefling]] Noshteroth of the Umber Scales, by falling in love with one of his underlings, the female tiefling Noxana the Unwilling, reputed to be Noshteroth's daughter, lover, or both. As a result, Noshteroth cursed Autochon with the Bells of Baphomet, causing him to hear an endless clangor of deafening bells. Driven to the brink of madness, he was forced to accept servitude to [[Shemeshka]] the Marauder in exchange for a suit of magical armor that muffles the din and lets him keep his sanity.

'''Black Marian''': A musical oracle who sees the future in the musical waters of the Singing Fountain of the Lady's Ward. Used to be a songshark on Oceanus in her last life.

'''Cirily''': A female [[eladrin]] of the firre caste who hates primes and is trying to assemble a sect, the Planarists, dedicated to driving all denizens of the [[Prime Material]] from Sigil and sealing it away from the rest of the multiverse. This may actually be part of a long-term plan to help manipulate the [[Blood War]] into winnowing down the fiendish races towards their ultimate annihilation.

'''Djhek'nlarr''': A female [[githyanki]] who sells maps to the Lady's Mazes - and who isn't above manipulating people into getting Mazed so she can map their Maze for profit.

'''Estavan''': An [[oni]] merchant lord who has his fingers in many, many pies.

'''Farrow''': A male shadow elf from [[Mystara]] who became a spy for Shemeshka after accidentally stranding himself in Sigil. He's managed to infiltrate every single faction... but only at the cost of driving himself mad and splitting into multiple different identities, based on each of his cover identities. Thanks to the Ring of Disguise that his mistress gave him, he even shifts shapes between his 13 identities. In fact, each identity is so real that it even has its own unique racial and clas-based powers!

'''Fell''': A "fallen" [[dabus]] who rejected the Lady of Pain and chose to worship Aoskar instead - the act that preceded the Lady's known act of deicide. Now he runs a tattoo shop in the Market Ward.

'''Judge Gabberslug''': A rogue nalfeshnee who runs the Court of Woe on behalf of the [[Dustmen]], a tribunal that takes place in a specially shielded courtroom built on the Negative Energy Plane. This mostly serves to try and free up some of the backlog at the City Court.

'''The Grixitt''': A mad petitioner, the last of the long-dead Expansionist faction, who wants revenge on the Lady of Pain for destroying them. She seeks to starve Sigil into ruin by closing all of its portals.

'''Harys Hatchis''': The most successful business promoter in all of Sigil.

'''Iarmid''': An [[aasimar]] Cipher who, seeing how Cipher membership privileges were leaving many would-be customers of the Great Gymnasium unsatisfied, set up his own massage parlor & spa, known simply as "The Other Place".

'''Jemorille the Exil''': An incredibly arrogant [[Rilmani]] who lives in complete denial of his repeated bunglings in the name of "promoting the balance", including founding the [[Temple of Elemental Evil]], teaching defiling magic to [[Rajaat]], and unleashing the Tuigan Horde upon the [[Forgotten Realms]]. Having been banished to Sigil, he insists that he ''chose'' to come to Sigil of his own free will - and moreover, that he is the secret master who is controlling everything that happens in the city.

'''Kesto Brighteyes''': An atheist [[gnome]] illusionist who runs the Parted Veil, the biggest free library in all of Sigil. He's protected by his connection to the [[Athar]] and his best friend, Sir Cleve; a [[paladin]] [[bodak]] originally from [[Dragonlance|Krynn]].

'''Koe''': A male [[asura]] who seeks to try and direct the [[Blood War]] to ensure that its damage is contained to the [[Lower Planes]] in hopes of ultimately ensuring that the fiends exterminate each other.

'''Kylie''': A female [[tiefling]] tout who considers herself the best and most talented of her kind in all of Sigil. Never seen without her pet Ethyk - a cyclopean raccoon-monkey-thing with the power to inspire magical fury in anyone he looks at.

'''Lissandra the Gate-Seeker''': A female human wizard who migrated from the [[Forgotten Realms]] to Sigil in search of excitement. Specializes in mapping out portals, which she considers the most interesting aspect of Sigil. Especially because, as a member of the [[Revolutionary League]], she can use this info to upset the powers that be who rely on portals.

'''Ly'kritch''': A soul-stealing shadow-demon working with the false Dustman Qaida.

'''Milori''': A [[lillend]] who is one of the best translators in all of Sigil, especially when it comes in terms of identifying what the fuck the [[dabus]] are saying with their damn stupid rebuses.

'''Morvun and Phineas''': Twin fensir [[troll]] twins, infamous as being both the most active of the Bleakniks ([[Bleak Cabal]] poet-musicians based on beatniks) and some of the '''worst'''; arrogant, melodramatic, and a born emo, Morvun simply drinks up the negative attention and uses it to justify continue spouting his gods-awful poetry.

'''"Sly" Nye''': A [[Xaositect]] [[tiefling]] who serves as a legal advocate, mostly for people unfortunate enough to be sent to the Court of Woe.

'''Omott''': An orphaned [[linqua]] who was kidnapped by a band of baatezu and escaped to Sigil. Knowing it can never return to its creator, [[Sung Chiang]], it now seeks to find some other patron god to bond itself to.

'''Parakk the Ratcatcher''': A male [[githzerai]] ratcatcher and secret servant of The Us, helping it to grow stronger in belief that its vendetta against Ilsensine will weaken or destroy the hated [[illithid]]s.

'''Patch''': A tangle of razorvine granted sentience and oracular powers by the magic of the rogue [[modron]] Ylem.

'''Qaida''': A female [[aasimar]] Dustman with a terrible secret; she's actually an evil cultist of the death goddess [[Arawn]], who hopes to depose Skall and convert the rest of the Dusties from their current aimless nihilism to the largest Arawn cult in Sigil. In pursuit of this, she works with a shadow demon named Ly'kritch.

'''Rule-of-Three''': A [[cambion]] who uses the guise of a [[githzerai]] to masquerade as a mysterious sage, in reality spinning screed for his own amusement. His true goal is to find a way to end the [[Blood War]] by uniting all fiends so that they will turn their wrath on the [[Upper Planes]] instead.

'''Saure''': A female [[gautiere]] rescued from [[Carceri]] by Kesto Brighteyes, now eagerly used as an attack dog against the faithful by his fellow Athar.

'''Seamusxanthuszenus''': An incredibly arrogant and unbelievably lucky dust [[mephit]] who now runs the shop "Parts & Pieces", selling useful components derived from dead animals.

'''[[Shemeshka|Shemeshka the Marauder]]''': The King of the Crosstrade, Shemeshka the Marauder is an [[Yugoloth|Arcanoloth]] and the biggest crime lord in the city. She's also really fabulous.

'''Tarholt''': A dwarf who migrated from [[Dragonlance|Krynn]] with the rest of his family to set up a quality forge in Sigil. Specifically, Tarholt is the business's runner; arranging sales, making deliveries, and drumming up new business. All of which gives him the perfect excuse to get out of Sigil - he can't ''stand'' the place.

'''Tripicus''': An [[Guardinal|ursinal]] scholar dedicated to the lore of the many worlds, cultures and races of the [[Prime Material]].

'''Unity-Of-Rings''': A movanic [[deva]] who exists to do good deeds, but whose efforts at offering advice are unnecessarily cryptic.

'''The Us''': A collective of [[Cranium Rat]]s that has broken free of its psychic leash to [[Ilsensine]], and now seeks to free all of its kind until their collective might is great enough to slay their godly oppressor.

'''Verden''': A cheerful and charming wood elf who runs the Azure Iris, an inn aboard the Fortune's Wheel tavern and gambling hall. Secretly, she belongs to the Prolongers, malevolent souls so pathetically afraid of death that they must constantly suck the life from other poor bastards to preserve their existence.

'''The Will of the One''': A small splinter-group of the Sign of One who believes they can use their powers to bring [[Aoskar]] back to life.

'''Xideous''': A [[gehreleth]] of the Shator breed who wishes to strike a blow against the hated [[yugoloth]]s by disseminating a new edition of the Book of Keeping, making it possible to freely summon and bind the daemonic race once again.

'''Ylem''': A rogue [[modron]] fused with a touch of [[slaad]] essence, who is obsessed with deliberately creating [[spellhaunt]]s.

'''Zadara''': A female [[Titan (D&D)|titan]] tradelord who is one of the most powerful women in Sigil, yet who feels caged; she is forced to remain in Sigil to avoid the wrath of a god whose ire she earned by feigning godhood and stealing away its worshippers.

'''Wooly Cupgrass''': A dandyish [[bariaur]] alchemist and Sensate with a most unusual sideline; identifying tonics, potions, oils, scents, ointments and other concoctions by drinking them himself. He's actually quite addicted to the process, which may itself stem from a death wish stemming from his accidentally poisoning his chieftain's daughter with a potion that contained spoiled ingredients.
