It's also prohibited by the power of the Lady of Pain, as I just suggested. She has the power to bar any and all deities from accessing the City of Doors and using it's portals. So, it's impossible for Vecna to use any portal in the Cage to journey to Toril.
Do not take anything that was said or illustrated about Sigil in the Die Vecna, Die adventure as accepted canon.
thank you for the clarification. i have one final question but since this has gotten off realmslore, and in fear of getting cleaning duties by Alaundo, i shall ask you Sage in a pm |

Whoa here. That adventure wasn't an Planescape Adventure because: one, it doesn't have the PS logo and two the PS line had ended by then. It's a generic D&D adventure that uses the planes that were detailed in Planescape just like it uses Ravenloft but it is technically just a generically labeled D&D adventure just like Warriors of Heaven. :)
In one of the several online chats that Monte Cook participated in before the release of Beyond Countless Doorways, a discussion about DVD came up. Monte's response suggested that, while Faction War was the last official PS product, DVD is usually regarded to "unofficially" occupy the last spot on the PS product listing.
It's the "unofficial" that usually throws people off, but, I actually agree with what you've just said  . I've just found that it's often hard for me to usually disagree with anything that Monte says...

To keep this on topic how about Maskar Wands, one of Waterdeep's many archmages. :)
Continuing to keep this scroll on topic, has Maskar Wands ever received a conversion to 3e stats? I can't recall having seen any?

Well I disagree with game designers all the time. :) But er let's drop this cause it's way off topic.
Now about Maskar. I don't recall stat's for him either for 3/3.5 but maybe in the Waterdeep book next year. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
