Has the lower reigons of Sigil ever been revealed? Or does it go buildings, cellars, out of Sigil falling down the spire?

Under Sigil is composed of many layers of structures. The basements of the the numerous tenaments or the hidden dungeon's of the Golden Lords make up the first levels of the Realm Below. Sewers, Crypts, Dustmen Necropoli, Dabus warrens, and branching tunnels make up a labyrinthine underworld that is largely unexplored. Of course certain bloods know pieces of the puzzle, but there are many dangers in Under Sigil. Creatures like Kadyx, the Scratcher, Cranium rat swarms, Wererats, Undead, Varguoilles, Ooze portals and all the other usual underdwelling vermin and oozes.

Some known sections of Under Sigil. The tunnels leading from the 12 Factols tavern, the tunnels beneath the Hall of Records campus, the warrens of the Prison, the catacombs beneath the Mortuary, the drains and basements near the Ditch (especially Lothar the Old's Bones of Night).

I think it'd be interesting to dig so deep into the Ring that one ends up on the other side. That'd be cool.

[Disclaimer: Not my idea, posted by someone else ont hese boards at some earlier date.]

What about the section where Pharod lives? That was pretty cool.

Ragpicker's square? From PS:T? Well I've never played the game (only read the novelization), but I'd think it's a good example of a shallow level beneath the slags.

Well I gave UnderSigil / The Realm Below a section of its own in the 3e Sigil guide from Planewalker (I've finished it and turned it in, its still getting edited this week but I've been told its close now).

There's lots down there, most of it unexplored. Take New York city for example with its warrens of drainage and sewer tunnels, active and abandoned subway tunnels, an abandoned private trolly line tunnel, forgotten basements and vaults, etc.

The total area of whats underneath the city streets vastly exceeds the total space aboveground both on streets and buildings alike.

Whats under Sigil's streets is a hodgepodge of the same sort of things; much, if not the majority of it, forgotten in the dim history of Sigil's past. All kinds of stuff :D

It really is a great game. It captured the feel and atmosphere of Sigil brilliantly.

Pharod dwelt in Illwind Court, which is located under Ragpicker's Square. Illwinds Court was also an access point to get into the Dusties catacombs.

Also the Faction War mentions two locations in Undersigil; Nowhere (where a sod can lay low for some jink) and Dark Court? (where a group of darkers live).
