The Lady of Pain

In Sigil, the Lady of Pain always knows. I hear all the lies whispered into all the tepid ears in the dark parlors of all the great skyscrapers. I see every hand that slips into an open pocket on every bustling street, and I feel the vibroblade that burns in the belly of every trusting fool who ever followed a glitter girl into a dark alley. No longer can I tell where Sigil begins and I end; no longer can I separate what I perceive from what the city is. I am Sigil.
— Lady of Pain

The Lady of Pain rules over the enigmatic Cage of Sigil, a planet-sized space station drifting gracefully through the cosmic sea of the Drift. A powerful and mysterious figure, she remains the enigmatic guardian and protector of the Cage, ensuring the sanctity of neutrality within its walls.

Appearance

Cloaked in ethereal robes that shimmer with the hues of cosmic energy, the Lady of Pain stands tall and imposing, her form somehow blending seamlessly with the infinite void of the Drift. Her celestial attire appears to be a living extension of the Drift energies that surround her, emanating a soft luminescence that casts a glow upon her surroundings.
At the center of her enigmatic presence, an otherworldly mask conceals her face, revealing nothing of her emotions or identity. The mask is sharp and angular, seeming to be made of swirling stardust, with ever-changing patterns that reflect the mysteries of the cosmos. When she moves, it leaves faint traces of stardust in its wake, adding an otherworldly touch to her already mesmerizing appearance.
Her robes are adorned with intricate sigils and arcane symbols, glowing with faint luminescence that pulses in rhythm with the energies that flow through her. The edges of her robes seem to blur, almost fading into the Drift itself, giving her an ethereal and ever-changing presence.
Radiating an aura of cosmic power, the Lady of Pain holds her Stellar Blades with an effortless grace. The radiant blades are an extension of her celestial presence, appearing as shards of collapsing stars.
As she moves through the Cage of Sigil, her steps create ripples in the fabric of the Drift, and the stardust trails behind her, leaving a faint, luminescent path in her wake. She moves with an otherworldly elegance, as if gliding through the cosmic sea rather than walking upon solid ground.
Her cosmic presence is both awe-inspiring and intimidating, with an air of unfathomable wisdom and ancient knowledge. Those who dare to meet her gaze find themselves humbled by the vastness of the cosmos reflected in her eyes. Any who try to interact with her as she wanders the streets of Sigil find their skin erupting in bloody wounds as her shadow passes over them, while others simply vanish, teleported into the prisons of the hive.
It is never considered a good sign if she is heard to be about in the streets.

Guardian of Neutrality

In the Cage of Sigil, beings from all corners of the galaxy seek solace, refuge, and opportunities in the endless web of portals and stardust-filled pathways. The Lady of Pain presides over this multiversal hub, upholding the principle of neutrality. She ensures that within the Cage, no faction or deity can assert dominance or influence over others, maintaining a delicate balance between the various powers that visit her realm.

The Mysteries of the Drift

The true origins and nature of the Lady of Pain remain a cosmic enigma. Some whisper that she was born from the cosmic energies of the Drift, while others speculate that she may be a cosmic deity or a manifestation of the living essence of the Cage itself. It has even been rumored that she is a renegade demon lord or an exiled Archdevil. Regardless, Sigil's long history has never recorded a moment when the Lady of Pain was not in command of the station. Her power over the Drift is undeniable, and few dare to question the secrets she guards.

Sanctuary in the Cosmic Expanse

Within the Cage of Sigil, the Lady of Pain presides over the Celestial Conclave, a gathering of ambassadors and envoys from various civilizations and factions. This council of representatives seeks advice and resolution to cosmic disputes, under her impartial gaze.
