First Impressions: This district is surprisingly quiet – especially compared to the rest of the district. People hurry on their way, ignoring the occasional street preacher who has settled on his soapbox to preach to an unlistening crowd about the falsehood of the deities.

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.

Shattered Temple: Home of the Godless, once the temple of the god of Portals.
Grinning Imp Tavern: Tan'ari themed tavern run by the Athar, located close to the Shattered Temple.
The Tenth Pit: For a small fee you can grab a drink, participate in a gladiatorial battle, endure some (light) torture, be forcibly bound and gagged or even more if you can talk (and pay) your way to it. The fiends are more than willing to oblige, if a bit puzzled about the whole thing. The Tenth Pit has become a favorite among disaffected Sensates looking to experience some of the darker sides of the multiverse.
