[[File:GreatwheelIngress_folly.jpg|thumb|upright|left|The PlanesIt is good to be cautious of unknown portals.]]

* Refer to [[User:BenjaminSage#House_Rules|BenjaminSage's house rules]], especially [[Sage's Hackmaster House Rules]]. A lot Some of the 3.5 rules will also apply under Hackmaster as well (especially the section on The Planes, this is the Planescape setting after all).* I reserve the right to change the rules basically whenever, but I promise it will be for good reasons, and to account properly for any changes this makes to the mechanical operation of anyone's character.

The [[Factions]] of Sigil run the city at the Lady's pleasure.You are free to join factions once you learn about them and find a contact, but be aware the they don't all get along. You probably won't be able to join a faction opposed to a faction that one of your associates is an active member of, and you can inherit enemies from your faction choices!

=== Material Planes ===There are a multitude of earthlike or similar worlds of various levels of habitability by humanoids. Most humanoids are from one of these worlds, and are referred to as "primes" by people who live on the planes. ==== Worlds of Note ====* [[File:SigilDatha]] - Home plane to Jaxson, Grodd, and Marby.* Hombarien - Somewhat less developed than some other worlds.

* The everyday operation of the city is handled by the Outlands - The neutral plane. [[FactionsSigil]]sits atop the great spire in the center.

Ultimately* The Beastlands is a plane of nature and animals, everything in and is also known as the city Happy Hunting Grounds. Peaceful alpine forests and groves of giant mushrooms can be found here. A varied climate exists across the plane, providing a suitable environment for many species of animals and comes and goes at plants. The number of traditional settlements is very small, with most inhabitants living beneath the trees out in the pleasure wilderness. The mortal souls that come to this plane after death take on animal traits soon after they arrive, developing pelts of fur and growing horns or pointed ears or other such features. Over the Lady course of Paincenturies they continue to slowly change, becoming celestial beasts.

* Arborea - The city changes over time, in response to the beliefs chaotic good plane. Arborea is a peaceful plane of natural beauty with a multitude of thriving environments. Much of the inhabitantsplane is dominated by vast tall forests, the will but also includes glades of wildflowers and fields of the Ladygrain. As a plane that also embodies chaos, it has a wild and the sweat often sudden nature. The weather can change drastically at short notice, changing from warm sunshine to raging winds and hard work of anyone who cares to put back again in the effortjust a few minutes.

==== Notable Locations * Limbo - The chaotic neutral plane.

Very few places in Limbo are stable enough for normal travel.

* Vaeril's ''Structure of the Planes Vol. I'' - Volume one of a set of books written by a wizard approximately 100 years ago about how the planes work. This section will fill volume mostly concerns portals and the connections between planes. The tome is written in Axiomatic, the language of Law.: His unorthodox, and frankly evil, research methods have tainted the work for many. Finding that the books were enchanted against many methods of destruction, some groups have sought to hide the books because they either don't support his research methods, or believe the results to be offensive to the Lady in as you some way. They may have a point, since Vaeril was ultimately Mazed when he used an artifact to mind control thousands of Hive dwellers and focus their belief on changing Sigil for his experiments.: It is suspected that up to 5 or 6 volumes were produced by Vaeril, but only volumes II and III were copied and distributed until Vol I was located recently by an adventuring party. Other volumes are exposed to new planesentirely unknown.
