In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil

In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil is a 2^nd-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons accessory. It is part of the Planescape campaign setting.

“

Welcome to the Cage! That's Sigil, City of Doors - realm of the Lady of Pain, gateway to all planes and possibilities. It's the most coveted burg in the multiverse, and this tome is the key to unlocking its secrets.

Now DMs and cutters alike can discover:

Little known facts about Sigil's sites and personalities
A guide to major portals
Maps of famous locales, fiendish and divine
Evocative illustrations by DiTerlizzi, Dameron, Ruppel, and Berry
An all-new, full-color, poster-sized map of the city, pinpointing place heretofore unseen

Which pubs cater to the clueless, and which're quick to put a sod in the dead-book? Where do folks gather to catch an "Execution by Wyrm"? For whom do the Bells of Baphomet toll? Exposing both the low life and glittering highlights, In the Cage is an essential guide for any blood who plans on exploring Sigil's streets - especially any blood who plans to leave under his own power.
