Factions of Sigil

Twelve factions have risen to prominence in the City of Doors, though many more exist. Your character might belong to one of these groups or another ideological faction, perhaps one of your own creation.

The primary factions of Sigil, which are further detailed in chapter 2, adhere to the following philosophies:

Athar

Deities are frauds and merely channel the might of a true, higher power.

Bleak Cabal

There is no greater truth to the multiverse. Each being must discover their own meaning.

Doomguard

Nothing lasts forever. The purpose of everything is to crumble and decay.

Fated

Everyone makes their own fate and is entitled to whatever they can take and hold.

Fraternity of Order

All of existence is governed by laws, and power comes from understanding and exploiting them.

Hands of Havoc

Those who try to impose a single order on the multiverse are doomed to fail.

Harmonium

The multiverse will be perfect only when everything is acting in harmony, whether it wants to or not.

Heralds of Dust

Everyone is already dead; the entirety of the multiverse is an afterlife. Undeath holds the key to the next stage of existence.

Mercykillers

Cold, relentless justice is absolute, and no one is above it.

Mind's Eye

The multiverse exists to be explored. It shapes us, and we shape it in turn.

Society of Sensation

Sensation is the proof of existence. By experiencing everything, we can understand the multiverse in all its complexity.

Transcendent Order

Thought clouds action. To fall in step with the multiverse, one must act on instinct alone.

Feature: Conviction

You gain the Scion Of The Outer Planes feat. In addition, members of your organization provide you free, modest lodging and food at any of their holdings or the homes of other faction members.

Suggested Characteristics

Adventurers who dedicate themselves to a particular philosophy regarding the multiverse are welcomed among factions that embrace those beliefs. The Planar Philosopher Personality Traits table suggests various traits you might adopt for your character.

1

I don't venerate any gods. With time, we can be as powerful as them or greater.

2

Experience is everything; live in the moment.

3

When things crumble, I find meaning in the dust.

4

Life thrives through order, and I seek to maintain that order.

5

When others make plans, the multiverse laughs and so do I.

6

I know what's right, and none will stand in my way.

Building a Planar Philosopher Character

Some groups of planar philosophers might prefer certain types of characters, but by and large any character who upholds and furthers the beliefs of such a group is welcome within its ranks.

Planar Philosopher Trinkets

When you make your character, you can roll once on the Planar Philosopher Trinket table, instead of on the Trinket table in the Player's Handbook, for your starting trinket.
