Which churches/temples exist in Sigil!?!

[Knightfall]

I'm in the process of fleshing out my version of Sigil, and I'm specifically wondering which deities have churches/temples in Sigil as noted in an official product.

I've already noted the Temple of the Abyss and the Temple of Hermes from In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil as well as The Shattered Temple of Aoskar. (In my version of Sigil, Aoskar's temple still exists. The Shattered Temple will be the fallen temple of a nameless deity.)

So, what other Planescape products list/describe official churches/temples in Sigil? And to which deities are those churches/temples dedicated?

FYI... I've already added churches for Boccob, Diancecht, Heimdall, and Xan Yae to my version for homebrewing reasons.

Cheers!

The Lady's Ward is where half the city's temples are found. In the Cage mentions temples to (and proxies of) Ptah, Io, Brahman, Muamman Duathal, Baravar Cloakshadow, Koriel, Diancastra, Zivilyn, Daragor, Shang-ti, Corellon Larethian, Gruumsh, the Lords of the Nine, Odin, Moradin, Garl Glittergold, Primus, Maglubiyet, and Zeus all somewhere in that ward.

The Temple of the Abyss is in "the heart of The Lady's Ward" and the Temple of Hermes is somewhere in The Lady's Ward as well; there's a portal to Mount Olympus in it.

Faction War, page 10, notes that planewalkers tend to be a pragmatic lot, and so temples that focus on healing tend to be more popular among them than those that do not, and so the temples of Apollo, Diancecht, Pelor, and Frigga have influence and power in the Cage far exceeding the rank and status of the deities they represent.

The Planar Handbook, page 142, says "Down the street stands a faithful reproduction of an Abyssal palace, and tucked into a nearby alley is a white marble shrine to Pelor." No street name is given, but if the reproduction of the Abyssal palace is the Temple of the Abyss, that would place it in The Lady's Ward.

There are shrines to Bahamut, Tyr, Athena, and Osiris in the Tower of the Prophet in The Lady's Ward (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, page 24).

Kingdom of the Ghouls (2009) features a temple of Sehanine Moonbow known as Passion's Rendezvous, also found in The Lady's Ward.

Thanks for the info.

It occurs to me that Sigil ought to have temples or shrines to all the gods considered particularly favored by the factions (in On Hallowed Ground). Those would be:

Athar: The Great Unknown (the Shattered Temple)
Believers of the Source: The Source (especially), Brihaspati, Jazirian, Shekinester, Chung Kuel, Sif, Lugh
Bleak Cabal: Cyric, Tharizdun, Dionysus (those three might be worshiped together as a triad), Ilmater
Doomguard: Talos, Shekinester (as the Weaver), Vayu, Siva (especially)
Dustmen: Death (especially), Chronepsis, Kali, Nergal, Nerull, Stalker, Urogalan, Wee Jas, Yama, Yurtrus, Chemosh, Faluzure, Kanchelsis, Kiaransalee, Millifleur, Anubis, Arawn, Hades, Hel, Kelemvor, Nephythys, Osiris, Sehanine, Yen-Weng-Yeh
Fated: The Aesir (especially), Abbathor, Eshebala, Hades, Hiddukel, Nephythys, Sera, Shinare, Urdlen, Vaprak, Vergadain, Waukeen
Fraternity of Order: Zeus, Varuna, Paladine, Pholtus, Tyr (those first five especially), Lu Hsing, Athena, Avani, Bahamut, Boccob, Brihaspati, Gilean, Jazirian, Koriel, Maanzecorian, Mishakal, Oghma, Rao, Shekinester, Thoth, Zivilyn
Free League: Trithereon, Shinare
Harmonium: Arvoreen, Gaerdal Ironhand, Heimdall, Helm, Koriel, Paladine, Parrafaire, Syranita, St. Cuthbert (especially)
Mercykillers: The Furies, Forseti, Heironeous, Tyr, Horus, Lei Kung, Sargonnas
Revolutionary League: Erevan Ilesere, Loki, Sirrion, Zinzerena, Shekinester, Siva, Talos, Vayu, Baravar Cloakshadow, Gzemnid, Hiddukel, Iuz
Sign of One: Corellon, the Daghdha, Gaea, Odin, Ra, Zeus
Society of Sensation: Sif (especially), Lugh (especially), Aphrodite, Baldur, Bast, Freya, Hanali Celanil, Lliira, Sune
Transcendent Order: Chinese pantheon, Japanese pantheon, Lugh
Xaositects: Erevan Ilesere (especially), Loki (especially), Bast, Bes, Beshaba, Lakshmi, Nebelun, Sera, Tyche, Tymora, Vergadain, Trithereon, Shinare

Or perhaps the list should be trimmed to those that the factions are said to especially favor.

Given the size and cosmopolitan attitude of Sigil, I'd not be surprised to find many temples, even more than those mentioned in canon material. Some might be just small shrines, but major pantheons would maintain full-scale delegations of priests, and suitably large temples.

Oh, I think so too! I was just trying to figure out which the canon ones were. But there should definitely be more.
