Sigil is the metaphysical (and arguably physical) center of the planes, and the City of Doors that theoretically contains portals to every conceivable plane. You will find yourself returning to or travelling through the city often if you walk the planes.

The everyday operation of the city is handled by the Factions, organizations of people united by a particular belief or philosophy.

Ultimately, everything in the city exists and comes and goes at the pleasure of the Lady of Pain.

The city changes over time, in response to the beliefs of the inhabitants, the will of the Lady, and the sweat and hard work of anyone who cares to put in the effort.
