"A wheel of living flame; a commandment of the Westernmost King's highest Law; an utterance of fire and glory."[1]

The Logoi (singular: logos) are living Correspondence sigils spoken by a Judgement, taking the form of a wheel of living flames.

The Flames That Live

"The Logoi are words spoken by the Sapphir'd King. They are decrees; they are statements about how the world should be; they are giant wheels of spinning fire."[2]

Logoi's main sigil "To Become Fire Rather Than Be Burned"

Logoi are commonly used by the Sapphir'd King to enforce his rule over the Blue Kingdom, and they're best known for guarding the vaults of souls from spirifers.[3]

There are three kinds of Logoi that patrol the Kingdom, called Orders, which may hunt or protect an individual depending on their status. Those who are considered Invisible are hunted by all three Orders.[4]

  • The azure Order of Perfection hunt the Antedeceased, those who dare to be legally alive in the Blue Kingdom.[5]
  • The golden Order of Visitation delivers judgements to the Ephemera, those who are legally dead.[1]
  • The crimson Order of Propriety includes the taskmasters of the Blue Kingdom; it's in charge of making unruly Yoked spirits - those that are "overly seen or excessively heard" - do their jobs correctly.[6]

The Pansekritis

"The Pansekritis is a wall of flame and wind and noise. So strong is the light that your body is transparent. Even the shadow of your bones is only a faint pattern on the ashen floor."[7]

The Pansekritis

The Pansekritis is a Logos in the House of Days that acts as the court's final judgement. The sigil of this Logos is plastered on the numerous courts of the House of Days, and can be interpreted in three ways[8]:

  • Eternal dominion
  • Everything in its place
  • No drop-in meetings permitted
