"How are you seen in the Blue Kingdom?"

Guide
Starting at Invisible, the only way to advance is by being declared dead at The Stone-Faced Court. This will change your status to Antedeceased. From there you can become Ephemera at The House of Days, or Yoked at Wellmouth. For further status modifications, see the list below.

To become Antedeceased:


 * From Invisible, be declared dead at The Stone-Faced Court. This costs 100 sovereigns and 3 Sky-Stories
 * From Ephemera, be demoted at The Stone-Faced Court. This also earns you 1 Testament of Salt but might decrease your hearts by 1.

To become Ephemera:


 * From Antedeceased, interact with the Horologion. 33% chance, only usable once every 30 days.
 * From Antedeceased, apply at The Court of Mayflies at The House of Days. This is free but requires a litigator.
 * From Yoked, argue in The Court of Oaks at The House of Days. This costs 1 Testament of Salt and 2 Navaratine Gemstones.

To become Yoked:


 * From Any, turn in a previously acquired Bag of Faces at Death's Door. Getting a Bag of Faces requires you to be Ephemera and help the Gangling Sequestrator on your way down to the bottom.
 * From Antedeceased, sweep spiders at Wellmouth. This costs 1 Immaculate Souls to set up, but can be done every 15 days with a difficult iron challenge.
 * From Ephemera, bribe the Lamentation at The Forge of Souls. It costs 1 Scrap of Ancient Knowledge to see the Lamentation, and 3 Unseasoned Hours to change your status.

To become Invisible:


 * You are invisible the first time you enter The Blue Kingdom.
 * From Any, annoy the Pansekristis at The House of Days.
 * From Antedeceased, interact with the Horologion. 33% chance, only usable once every 30 days. This also increases your iron by 1.
 * From Ephemera, refuse to give up your face or name at Death's Door.

Each port in the Blue Kingdom requires particular status.

 * [ 0 ] As you step inside the Court you are immediately accosted by another skull-headed gentleman, though his ivory is noticeably more worse for wear than the Administrator's: yellowing, cracked, pitted with craters.

 * [ 2 ] As you step inside the Court you are met, not by one of the skull-headed Graven, but by a spirit in a porcelain mask. A voice issues from the jar slung across its back. It introduces itself as the Exacting Ombudsman."

 * [ 0 ] The Carious Official glances irritably at its clipboard. \"An Invisible. Perfect. Wonderful. An administrative nightmare was exactly what I needed at this juncture, in fact.\" He looks you over. \"Ugh. Well, follow me, I suppose. I am your guide, welcome to the Court, et cetera.\"
 * [ 1 ] The Carious Official glances irritably at its clipboard. \"Ah, an Antedeceased. Don't worry, champ. One day you'll get there. Inevitably, in fact.\" He looks you over. \"And imminently, one can hope. Well, follow me, I suppose. I am your guide, welcome to the Court, et cetera.\"
 * [ 2 ] \"When I heard the Court was to be graced by Ephemera, I put myself forward as your guide.\""

secretary_explanation

 * [ 0 ] Newcomers are Invisible, and they can go almost nowhere, not even to the House of Days,\" says the Secretary. \"Those who have not yet died must go to the Stone-Faced Court to be acknowledged as Antedeceased. If you were dead, you would be given the status of Ephemera; the Ephemera prepare to pass through into the heart of the Blue Kingdom.\"\n\nIs that all? It is not. \"The Yoked are servants in the Blue Kingdom, and dead as well. You won't want that status.
 * [ 1 ] They've named you Antedeceased, as well they should. But if you want a look deeper into the Blue Kingdom, you'll have to make them think you're dead, just passing through, and they'll give you the status of Ephemera. And then there are the Yoked.
 * [ 2 ] You've been named Ephemera, I see. You look Antedeceased to me, but who am I to say? The Ambassador's died more than you'd guess, to look at her. And you wouldn't want to be Yoked, or they'd put you to work.
 * [ 3 ] I see you've managed to get yourself marked as Yoked, and that's a tangle! Do they keep giving you odd jobs? I wouldn't be surprised... Ephemera would be more comfortable, if you want to travel, and you can change that in the House of Days. Or the Stone-Faced Court should recognise right away that you're Antedeceased.
