			Despite Aoskar having been destroyed, two relics remain of the God of Portals. The first is the ''Blood of Aoskar''; found in bottles, this eerily wine-like divine ichor is reputed to act as a universal key for any portal found in [[Sigil]]. The second is the ''Heart of Aoskar''; a clockwork heart of gold and silver the size of a human head, studded with countless keyholes and movable flaps that can be used to rearrange the available keyholes. Introduced in [[Dragon Magazine]] #339, activating this Minor Relic requires a DC 30 Open Lock check; if successful, the user and all within 15 feet are transported to a random plane, which the book states is "as per [[Plane Shift]], but disregarding the boundaries of connecting planes". Exactly what this means is a little vague, but it can explicitly do things like transport the user directly from the [[Inner Planes]] to the [[Outer Planes]].

	'''Aoskar''' was perhaps the most infamous deity in [[Sigil]]; once coming close to calling that city home, now he is forgotten by nearly all, and those that do still know his name almost always know him only as a cautionary tale, a story of the fate that would befall all deities that would seek to unseat the [[Lady of Pain]]. Even today, his worship is still punishable by death within the city's walls. If any Aoskarians still exist, their numbers must be slim; hiding in the shadows of Sigil, their very existence a capital crime but the Cage still the closest thing they have to a holy site, and still holding the closest thing they have to a high priest. Recently, however, interest in Aoskar has begun to emerge as the Will of the One, a sect of the [[Sign of One]], has looked upon him as a potential target for divine resurrection, a demonstration of the power of their faction. Considered by most as a fool's choice, the ire they may draw from the Lady has dissuaded few of their number.

	Though most records of Aoskar were lost in the Lady's destruction or the acts of various factions since that day, a semblance of the deity's history has been reconstructed. It is believed that ages past, Aoskar was naught but a simple god of planar travel, though his origins have long since been lost. What is known is that his worship caught the attention of a slight few in Sigil, bringing the attention of the god himself to the city. Always seeking new opportunities as was his wont, Aoskar was quick to see the potential of the planar metropolis. And while he obviously couldn't enter himself, however appropriate a realm it may have been, he soon forged plans to exploit it despite.

	The Aoskarians soon gained a strong reputation for the depth of knowledge they held in the ways of portals, greater than near all the sages of the city, never failing to credit Aoskar for that knowledge. Here and there, they began incorporating rituals into their gate-keys, minor beseechments thanking Aoskar for his gifts. Soon, these rituals began to take hold amongst the commonfolk of Sigil as well. Aoskar's influence began to spread, and within a matter of years ~~long~~ it's recorded that nearly half of the people of Sigil were claiming the title of Aoskarian.

	This period is believed to have continued for decades, known now as the Aoskarian period. It was during this timeframe, for example, that the now-common Aoskian hounds were bred; portal-sensitive dogs commonly used then and now by Primes to detect portals they otherwise would miss. It was also in this period that the great Temple of Doors seems to have been erected, built within the then-Prime Ward likely due to Aoskar's strong Prime origins and his heightened popularity amongst those with Prime origins. Before long, the cult's influence spread to the dabus themselves, and it is recorded that many of them began to themselves incorporate beseechments towards Aoskar into their duties. A strong argument could be made that he was, at the time, the most influential deity in the planes due to how much he'd interwoven himself into every planar transit in Sigil.
