Another topic about Planescape Sect of Trascendence Seekers.
Somewhere in the middle of the Lady's Ward there's courtyard open from the streets which belongs to the the strange sect, which members calling thenselves «Trascendence Seekers». From time to time you can witness here alfresco expositions from entire multiverse: bizzare looking orreries, burial scenes, ancient scrolls and much more. Sometimes yard seems deserted, sometimes — crowded like Festhall, but it's constantly guarded by young-looking oriental hostess, who might instantly appear or vanish, when you expect it least.
Not that much is known about sect activity, recruiting or influence: no one heard about any of it inside or outside of Sigil: whatever their plans is they paid well to keep their secrets inside.
But there's something you could tell about their philosophy just by looking at the stone, which marks the entrance to the courtyard. First of all, that stone shaped like
narrow seven-foot tall pyramid with three sides. By looking from the street, you'll see list of quotes from various Sigil Factions, carved on it's surface. But, the second side, invisible from the front will show you an answers from perspective of the so-called warlocks. Third edge remains blank for the most part, but you can find carving tools right next to the stone.
More than a clear invitation to write down some wise phrase, but quite a few bloods were able to do so in eight years: as song goes, Stone was made of raw stuff from Limbo and forged by best masons of Mechanus. Only those of godlike skill and will can bend or damage The Stone of Controversy, unless they know it's dark. You can easily carve your wisdom onto the stone, if you both desired to achieve it and sacrificed to earn it. Quite a cheeky bite for a bunch of unknown bashers with no influence.
