Blue Kingdom Status is considered a Accomplishment Blue Kingdom in Sunless Skies.

Accomplishment description[]

"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:

To become Ephemera:

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.

Status-related hazards[]

Which Logoi will chase you depends on your status:

  • Invisible: All of them!
  • Antedeceased: Blue Logos, usually in the southeast (Forge of Souls)
  • Yoked: Red Logos, northern parts (especially around Death's Door)
  • Ephemera: Aureate Logos - the yellow ones, near the White Well


Name Required Status
Sky Barnet Any.
The House of Days Non-Invisible the first time, any later.
The Forge of Souls Ephemera or Yoked.
The White Well Non-Yoked.
Wellmouth Antedeceased.
Death's Door Ephemera
The Shadow of the Sun Yoked.

trial_stone_faced_court[]

  • [0] \"Dead,\" mutters the Official behind you. \"Dead, Dead, Dead. She's going to say Dead. Look. It's obviously Dead. Nothing to see here. Just Dead. Hurry up. Dead.\""
  • [1] \"Dead,\" mutters the Official behind you. \"Dead, Dead, Dead. She's going to say Dead. Look. It's obviously Dead. Nothing to see here. Just Dead. Hurry up. Dead.\"
  • [2] The pause stretches on.

met_by_official_stone_faced_court[]

  • [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.
  • [1] 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."

met_by_official2[]

  • [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.
