Editing Sigil (section)

==Government==
The absolute ruler of Sigil is, of course, the [[Lady of Pain]]. However, she takes a very hands-off approach and mostly reacts to people who ''really'' fuck up by Mazing or shadow-flaying them on an individual level. Day to day running of Sigil is left mostly in the hands of the people.

In the original version of Sigil, the one from the core of the [[Planescape]] run, leadership is handled by the 15 Factions - a set of "philosophers with clubs". See [[Planescape#Factions|here]] for a basic summary.

After the [[Faction War]], things get shaken up. Some "disbanded" Factions still remain in business - the Sensates running the entertainment industry, for example. The [[Dabus]] take over the judicial system. The [[Sons of Mercy]] attempt to fill the Harmonium's boots as Sigil's police force (hindered by the fact they have no real "official" authority and nobody trusts them). The "Sigil Advisory Council", founded by the remnants of the [[Transcendent Order]] attempt to create a new diplomatic government, but nobody really takes them all that seriously. This post-Faction War depiction remained more-or-less consistent in both 3e and 4e.
