VEIL OF ENDINGS: A PLANAR SAGA CAMPAIGN INVITATION The City of Doors holds countless secrets, but the greatest mystery lies in what came before—and what awaits beyond the final threshold. THE SETTING Welcome to Sigil, the City of Doors —a ring-shaped metropolis perched atop an infinite spire at the center of the multiverse. Here, portals to every conceivable plane of existence dot the landscape, disguised as doorways, arches, or windows. The city teems with beings from across reality: devils negotiate with angels in smoke-filled taverns, mind flayers exchange secrets with genies in hidden libraries, and mortals from countless worlds try to carve out lives amid cosmic wonders and terrors. Sigil is ruled by the enigmatic Lady of Pain , a silent, floating entity whose serrated visage inspires terror even in gods. Those who displease her are found flayed by invisible blades, or lost forever in her maze-like pocket dimensions. She permits no worship, no challenges to her authority, and offers no explanation for her actions. Yet whispers are spreading through the darkest corners of the city. Shadow deaths plague the lower wards. Portals to the Shadowfell open without warning. The Dustmen and Doomguard speak of an approaching cosmic reckoning. And in dreams, many have glimpsed a raven-crowned queen watching from beyond the veil of death.
