Doors to the Unknown is a 2nd-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons adventure module. It is part of the Planescape campaign setting.
These aren't doors in the traditional sense, cutter, but they're portals just the same. They appear for a short time every 500 years, popping up in different parts of Sigil. Each hides a mystery that's waiting to be solved, and together they just might hold the key to a secret of the multiverse. All a body's got to do is tumble to the right keys, open the doors, and face down the Unknown.' -- Estavan, merchant lord
