What happens when a small time thug from the 'hood becomes stranded on the smog filled streets of Sigil? The answer is Unity of Rings the debut album of Rhapsody, Sigil's self proclaimed poet laureate. Observe him on track 2 ("Catch a Clue") as he takes in a newly arrived prime, who (as we see in track one, the intro) has unwisely attacked a fiend at a local tavern.


I see ya man
I look in your eyes and it reminds
Of my past in much harsher times
I used to be clueless
Now I’m straight ruthless
Welcome to the planes
Wake up your brain
Or it’ll sucked out and flayed
Fried by a fiend or sprayed
And left to leak out into the storm drains

I know you’re used to killin’ kobolds for quick cash
But here's a news flash, for you that time is past
Wizard fighter rogue or cleric
Yeah out here they’ve all got merit
Nah, don’t break down and get derelict
I know the enormity of infinity’s got you sick
But you’ve gotta handle it
If here in Sigil in you wish to stay
The fog rolls out, it’s the dawn of a new day

By the death of the Powers!... A shining new Möbius says that this "Rhapsody" character will turn out to be no less than Morvun in gold chains...

Hmm... A rapper from earth ends up in Sigil...still not quite as strange as an idea I had a while ago--->

A firm favourite in a good number of bars in the City of Doors, Adamantium Chains, a local Metal band has a fan base growing by the day.

A half-fiend Drow by the name of Zor Amarin is the singer (also plays a psy-lute (magical electric guitar)). A Rogue Modron (square root of two) is the drummer. A half-orc (Gruden Ironclaw) does bass, a dwarf (Morandar Steeltoe) does rhythm,while a Lizardman goeing by the name of Krix plays Lead. 2 Imps (Xyk and Pliy) manage to play a portable organ.

Some of their hits include:
City of Doors, City of Chains.
Adamantium and Mithril.
Enter Grazz't.
The Nine Unforgiven.
Creeping Doom [like Creeping Death...hmm...].
The Cubes are watching/the Cubes of Archeron watchest.
Curtain of Many Colours.
Cubic Gate to Nowhere.
The Githyanki cometh.

While several factions have expressed alarm about the violent nature of the band, the good relations enjoyed between Adamantium Chains and the rest of the Music of the Planes group (a collective of musicians from across The Planes), particularly the Baron of Sound have prevented anyone from actually acting against them.
