03-27-07, 01:44 PM Uncaged: Faces of Sigil describes the cambion Rule-Of-Three and deva Unity-Of-Rings, noting rumours that these opposites are complemented by a being representing the third governing principle of the multiverse--the aurumach rilmani Center-Of-All, who is noted as being theorised to be one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse (to paraphrase the book) and dwell near the base of the Spire on the Outlands.

Now I've got that monster of a sentence out of the way, is there any more information on this figure's personality, history, and powers? If so, I'd appreciate a rundown or pointer in the appropriate direction.

03-27-07, 02:20 PM No, there's nothing official apart from that sentence.

My take on the character is in this thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-350483).

If the rilmani have a rebellion, then Center-of-All is its leader. He is their Mordred, their Judas, their Lucifer, their Takhisis. He is all this, yet he has a seat in the innermost circles of the aurumachs. They listen to him gravely as he speaks words that threaten to tear the heart out of the rilmani race, and they do nothing. Sometimes they politely applaud. To crudely cast him from their ranks as the archons did to Triel, as the eladrins did to Salafin, as the modrons did to the Secondus of Rempha, as the guardinals did to Mowatt Ke'Mahn, as the baernaloths did to Apomps, as the tanar'ri did to Turaglas, or as the baatezu did to Moloch is not the rilmani way. Instead they counter him, they corral him, they keep him in check. Yet with each move he makes his goals come closer to fruition.

Rip: Very mysterious. :) I guess that is the rilmani way... Thanks for confirming the lack of further official info.

They tossed him out? Why?

Oh, I don't think they did officially. But he seems a bit brutal to me, more concerned with opposing evil than doing good.
