'''Sky Barnet''' is the entry to the [[Blue Kingdom]] for the dead and where the Kingdom's living resides. The dead enter the region from the '''Toll-Tower''', where [[New London|London]] has established their embassy, while the '''House of Days''' is where the various spirits are processed and judged.__FORCETOC__

==The Embassy of Albion==
''"The top three floors of the Tower belong to the Embassy of Albion. The visitor climbs ten flights of amber stairs guarded by spirits and devils, and arrives in a modest-sized parlour decorated with a pink floral carpet and a painting of the Empress. The Secretary of the Embassy works in the neat half of the office. The disordered half is the domain of the Cultural Attaché."''

'''The Embassy of Albion''' lies on the upper part of the Toll-Tower. Before [[Albion]]'s establishment, the Toll-Tower was owned by the devils "for millennia".<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Embassy_of_Albion|The Embassy of Albion|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

The embassy is under a bit of a rental dispute. The lease for the embassy states that the contract is active for "three viewings of the Sun". The devils took this to mean three days, but the ambassador argues that since [[The Sapphir'd King|the Judgement of the Blue Kingdom]] never reveals himself, the embassy should remain.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Chambers_of_the_Ambassador|Offer to help with her financial concerns|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

===The Ambassador of Albion===
''"When you arrive, the Ambassador is dressing a wound on her arm. "My predecessor was afraid to leave the Toll-Tower," she remarks as you come in. "He hardly saw any of the Blue Kingdom. I'm determined not to duplicate his errors, but as you see, there are some costs to the more assertive approach.""''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Embassy_of_Albion|Seek an appointment with the Ambassador|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

'''The Ambassador of Albion''' is a woman with a bandaged arm. Beneath the wrappings is an injury scribbled with sigils caused by a [[Logoi|Logos]]; the sigils reappear every time she tries to remove them.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Embassy_of_Albion|Trade Gratitude for a Moment of Inspiration|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

She is apathetic toward death, turning her [[Souls|soul]] clear, which allows her to work more effectively than her predecessor. The Blue Kingdom, however, is not exactly happy that someone with a flawed soul has taken an official position.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Devils%27_Quarters|Consult the Repentant Devil about the Rental Dispute|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

==The House of Days==
<blockquote>''"The House of Days is a palace so large that it is hard to see both ends of the facade. The staircase up is many stories tall and ballrooms wide. There is only one door. Spirits go in briskly, but those who come out are slower, not always sure where to go next."<ref name="sunlessskies.miraheze.org">{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|The Porch of the House of Days|Sunless Skies}}</ref>''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''"Here, the dead can plead their case, in hopes of altering their status."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_House_of_Days#Log_Entries|Log Entries|Sunless Skies}}</ref></blockquote>

'''The House of Days''' is an enormous sky-palace,<ref name="sunlessskies.miraheze.org"/> filled with countless courts in which the the inhabitants of the [[Blue Kingdom]] can submit appeals regarding the alteration of their legal status.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|Log Entries|Sunless Skies}}</ref> Long ago, the House of Days only had one court, [[Logoi#The Pansekritis|the Pansekritis]]. However, the necessity for another court keep cropping up, and the Blue Kingdom kept building new courts on top of old ones. Now the House of Days is a stack of courts, each one with a different specialty,<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Porch_of_the_House_of_Days|Lurk near the Entrance|Sunless Skies}}</ref> and each serving its own specific group of applicants based on their species and the basis for their appeal.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|The House of Days|Sunless Skies}}</ref> As a result of this fact, the many courts of the House vary wildly in shape and size, with some of them underwater or even constantly on fire.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|Lurk near the Entrance|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

As with many other locations in the [[Blue Kingdom]], individuals with the Invisible status are not permitted entry.<ref name="ReferenceB">{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|Attempt the doorway|Sunless Skies}}</ref> Antedeceased, or the legally dead, may enter after performing a series of rituals that involve being washed with salt and vinegar, reading poems in honor of the [[Sapphir'd King]], and inhaling the stench of a rotting corpse.<ref name="ReferenceB"/>

The [[Logoi#The Pansekritis|Pansekritis]] is a [[Logoi|Logos]] at the very center of The House of Days - a living [[The Correspondence|Correspondence]] sigil with several meanings. As a result, the Pansekritis is the absolute judge of the House of Days: its sigil is represented in every court and on every page, and its will practically absolute, with almost no difference between its intent and actions.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|Listen to rumours about the Pansekritis|Sunless Skies}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|Make a study of the Pansekritis|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

=== The Many, Many Courts===
<blockquote>''"Once upon a time, the House of Days was only one court, with the Pansekritis inside. They built new Courts each time a new need was found."<ref name="ReferenceA"/>''</blockquote>

The many Courts of the House of Days are as follows:

<blockquote>*The '''Court of Apes''' attends to humanoid spirits such as humans and apes; this is where most of us ordinary folk go.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Court_of_Apes|The Court of Apes|Sunless Skies}}</ref> It also handles subjects who think that another court should listen to their claim. Petitioners may request this by issuing a document called a '''Testament of the Feather'''.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|Lurk near the Court of Apes|Sunless Skies}}</ref></blockquote>

*The '''Court of Mules''' attends to spirits who belong in multiple categories, such as hybrid animals like mules and ligers, and those who are exceptionally stubborn. This is also the place to clarify or appeal previous rulings.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Court_of_Mules|The Court of Mules|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

*The '''Court of Oak''' is an enormous court that attends to spirits with long lifespans, like plants and fungi. It also handles contracts or leases that overrun their natural boundaries.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Court_of_Oaks|The Court of Oaks|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

*The '''Court of Mayflies''' is a small court that attends to spirits with exceptionally short lifespans, whether by chance or nature.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Court_of_Mayflies|The Court of Mayflies|Sunless Skies}}</ref> It also handles cases where something has been applied too little or for too short of a time.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_House_of_Days|Lurk near the Court of Mayflies|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

*The '''Court of Whales''' attends to spirits with an aquatic persuasion. Naturally, this particular court is submerged, and the verdict declared here is sung beneath the waves.<ref name = "pansekritis">{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Antechamber_of_the_Pansekritis|Listen to rumours about the Pansekritis|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

*The '''Court of Hummingbirds''' attends to spirits which fly. Verdicts are written in nectar on the ceiling so the winged spirits can understand them better.<ref name="pansekritis"/>

*The '''Court of Bloodhounds''' is an unseen Court which translates its Pansekritis sigils as a "scent of vetiver and sandalwood".<ref name="pansekritis"/>
