It’s difficult to believe that the Shattered Temple District was once was the heart of the City of Doors. Indeed, this district was the home of the Temple of Aoskar, father of Portals, and keeper of all of Sigil’s doorways. But one day Aoskar crossed the Lady of Pain, and she paid him a visit. After a brief and somewhat anticlimactic battle, the Lady wrote the Power into the Dead Book and shattered his temple (and the surrounding area) into so much rubble. Now the district’s been cleaned up – although not exactly rebuilt.
The people who live and toil here – most of them the Athar or their allies – do so amidst the ruins of what the district once used to be. The Athar like it that way: it’s a good reminder that the Powers are limited in their abilities, and that no Power can touch them while they sit in the Cage.
