Indeed!

The Lady of Pain is explicitly immortal and omnipotent for the same reason that the Yozis in Exalted are explicitly unable to escape, ever- because if she wasn't, nobody would ever do anything but kill her.

It is a DM book, but does include how to use one of the races as a PC race (Bladelings)

Monsters:

Archon Air
Astral Dreadnought
Bladeling
Baphomet
Howling Blade
Demons (Canoloth, Chasme, Shadow, Solamith)
Devils (Barbed, Brazen, Pain, Storm)
Dispater and Aspect
Gtaz'zt and Aspect
Keeper
Korred
Raavasta

Maybe. Will have to read carefully to find out.

What new races, paragon paths, and epic destinies, if any, are there?

How much do they spend on the city of Sigil and the factions?

What other interesting tidbits are there?

Thanks in advance.

Paragon Paths:
Blade of Cendriane
Doomguard Marauder
Gatecrasher
Knight of Celestia
Malec-Keth Janissaryyy
Planeshifter
Shadow Captain
Soul Guide

Sigil: 5 pages and I didn't say anything about factions

No epic destinies

Tidbit: I saw a small section on Spelljammers!
