The Lady is sometimes seen in Sigil as a floating, robed Lady covered in blades. The engimatic ruler of Sigil is the mysterious Lady of Pain. Sigil contains many portals: any closed surface (a doorway, arch, barrel hoop) could possibly be a portal to another place. Sigil is a ring shaped city, which is supposedly atop an infinitly tall spire at the center of all the planes (which, some in the Planescape setting argue, is impossible since the planes are infinite, and therefore any place can be considered the center of the planes). The Outer Planes are the embodiment of belief. In between those are where they blend together (example: Lawful Neutral to Good). In between them are where they coincide, such as Good and Law (Lawful Good). Law is opposite Chaos, and Good is opposite Evil. Basically, opposing alignments are opposite of each other, like points on a compass. There are a total of sixteen different "alignments" centered around the Outlands (which is true neutrality, and where the supposed infinetly tall spire which at the top contains Sigil). The Outer Planes are basically alignments (ranging from lawful to chaotic, good to evil) personified in the land. Planes can also be split apart into layers, with each layer representing a slightly different world. They are commonly grouped into a large ring, with alternating spatial and nonspatial planes (clockwise: Outer, Astral, Prime Material, Etheral, Inner, Ordial). These six categories are (substance first): Prime Material Worlds, Inner Planes, Outer Planes, Astral Planes, Etheral Planes, and Ordial planes.
Planes can be grouped into six categories: three sets of Planes of Substance (containing solid matter) and three sets of Buffer Planes (connecting the Substance planes and generally not containing solid matter). Planescape, as it name suggests, is comprised of planes. It is not a single setting, rather it can encompass most other Dungeons and Dragons worlds, which are linked together by planar gates, also known as portals.
Planescape is a fictional setting used by the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
