Is Aoskar's symbol shown anywhere? I'm trying to find it because I would like to use it but I don't know where it is.

Hmm, all right. That should work, then.

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
I haven't seen it, but an open door seems appropriate.
Now i suddenly have visions of a priest walking around with a whole door frame on his shoulder... .lol.

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
It appears to be an arch with a star at the top and a ray of light dividing the arch into 2 pieces.
I suppose it as good a symbol as any.

Via that link I got mazed in a web of intrigue and kept reading about the lawshredder and all, it seems like a massive ongoing campaign if I am right..?
who is running it and under what concept?

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
It can be anything resembling portal: door, frame, circle
best is of course door (in relation to City of Doors naming) or circle (as an allusion to every ended frame -> which therefore can be a potential portal).
Or maybe open triangle?
feel free

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
An official version already exists in the Planescape adventure, Doors to the Unknown. It's in the form of a key with the pommel forming an open door with stars inside (the picture is on the inner cover of the book, with the adventure maps and stuff.) Few physical copies of Aoskar's holy symbol currently exist, authough Fell could provide the characters with either a tatoo of one or a temporary real one using his power to make symbols manifest as real objects. Others are probably scattered across the planes, like (spoiler alert!) the one PCs may find in the lair of Chronosephis' banished former proxy in Agathion during the adventure. Smart PCs won't display the icon openly, for fear of the wrath of the Harmonium and/or the Lady...

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
Sorry, Burning Spear, I've never seen the info at http://azrai.com/wiki/Aoskar before, but it looks like fan fiction, not "official" stuff... if that matters to you. (There's chant there what says that Sigil ain't always been the city above the Spire in the Outlands, that OTHER citys have once held its place, but surely that's screed from some barmy, right...?)

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
Seethat is what I get for getting the PDF version. I do not have the artwork for the Holy Symbol in Doors to the Unknown. See it pays to buy the hard copy. Oh well.
Is he the one floating in the astral Plane?

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
You can also see Aoskar's Holy symbol tatooed on Garamundi's forehead in one of the illustrations, if you don't have the cover. Hope that helps...

Hey, that's my wiki full of fan-fiction!
We've diverged pretty seriously from the official PS material, in some ways. But the same campaign referenced in that wiki has been running, in one form or another, since somewhere between 1992-1994; I joined in '96.
For the record, our DM created our non-canon Aoskar symbol - in Illustrator, I think - a number of years ago. Also for the record, the aformentioned Lawshredder is probably the nemesis that we PCs dread facing the most; fortunately we've rarely encountered him/it directly. *shudder*

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
ZacZero, do you have a campaign journal online anywhere? This sounds really interesting.

Re: Aoskar's Holy Symbol
In so much as we have a journal, it is here:
http://azrai.com/wiki/List_of_Episodes
http://azrai.com/wiki/Category:Episodes
Our most recent episode, from August of this year, isn't up yet; we usually do those updates in combination with pre-game bluebooking to refresh our memories with what exactly happened the last time we played - which is usually about 6 mos out.
The newer, overly detailed episodes all refer to weekend gaming sessions that only take place twice a year these days. The older episodes are far more disjointed, and can refer to huge groups of games, and are really hazy in our minds because they're 10+ years old, and we didn't take very good notes in high school.
Our DM re-purposes a *lot* of material, so if you dig deep enough you'll run across plenty of NPCs, maps, etc that are from official (and other) sources, some of which have been taken way, way out of the context in which they originally existed.
I haven't seen it, but an open door seems appropriate.
