But it begs the question: why this motley crew? Factions Don’t Have One Philosophy-They Have a Belief Spectrum It makes sense that a being who controls the center of an alignment-based multiverse would want to be surrounded by philosophers. If you think of Sigil like a forum, where there’s all these sort of competing interests and beliefs, the fact that she’s letting that happen says something about the nature of her and the multiverse.” She wants to see people challenge each other in a forum. She wants to see how it’s going to shake down. “The fact that she allows the factions to operate in her city, more than they operate anywhere else in the multiverse, suggests that she is sensitive to philosophy, or that she likes it, or wants it, or wants it around her.
In-game, the Factions’ half-baked philosophy raises an even bigger question: Why does the Lady of Pain allow amateur philosophers to dominate power in Sigil, the center of the multiverse, when she does not allow the gods to even step foot in the city? Chris Perkins, in a Dragon Talk interview on The Lady of Pain, reflects on the meaning of this decision by Our Lady: That begs the question: if you want to encourage philosophical discussion, why make factions unreasonable and difficult for players to seriously engage with? All of the Factions, as written, read as caricatures of philosophy in a setting specifically designed to encourage philosophical discussion. Now the Sign of One, though an egregious example, are not alone among Sigil’s Factions in terms of taking a reasonable theory and twisting it far beyond its “logical” conclusion. Members of the Sign of One believe that because we can only be sure of our own existence, everything else exists only as part of our imagination. It also inspired the half-baked philosophy of The Sign of One, one of the 15 Factions based in Sigil in DND’s Planescape campaign setting. Brotherhood is also setting-neutral so you can use it for any setting or genre that you can think of.Descartes’ “I think, therefore I am,” has inspired more half-baked college philosophy discussions than any other phrase in the multiverse.
