The Lady of Pain is the most enigmatic and terrifying being in all of Dungeons & Dragons lore. Ruling over Sigil, the City of Doors at the center of the multiverse, she possesses power that humbles gods themselves. But who—or what—is she really?

The Lady of Pain has ruled Sigil since before most gods existed. She never speaks. She never explains. And she tolerates no rivals. Her shadow brings instant death, her Mazes offer eternal imprisonment, and those who try to worship her are found with their skin flayed from their bodies.

From the destruction of the god Aoskar to the humiliation of Duke Darkwood in an eternal time loop, from Vecna's reality-breaking invasion to the dissolution of Sigil's factions, the Lady of Pain's actions have shaped the multiverse itself.

Is she one of the Ancient Brethren who predate the gods? Is Sigil her kingdom or her prison? Is she the living consciousness of the city itself? The truth remains the greatest mystery in D&D lore.
