The Sapphir'd King is the king of the dead in [[the High Wilderness]], and almost all souls that die there end up in his realm. Despite his firm grip on his kingdom, he is notoriously elusive as a Judgement. Only those who have passed [[Death's Door]] can see him in his full, terrifying glory. The Sapphir'd King is also responsible for the shutdown of [[The Forge of Souls|the Forge of Souls]], due an incident that remains unspecified. The King is quite fond of using [[Logoi]] as servants, and he controls the numerous yoked spirits that serve him. | |||

''"You find him there. He turns his attention to you for a moment. This is enough to immediately and utterly annihilate your officers and crew. Your engine, too, is unmade. You hold yourself together for only a moment longer. Long enough to perceive a blazing, roaring, singing, exhilarating, crushing fraction of him. He is mind. He is light."'' | ''"You find him there.

The King | The Sapphir'd King is implied to be a member of the Amaranthine Conjunction of stars, which believes in the philosophy of culmination and ending. The King basically designed his realm to be a soul-feeding machine, and his bureaucracies basically decide which souls are good to eat and which souls aren't. Despite Death's Door's appearance as the gateway to salvation, it is nothing more than the mouth of a hungry star. The Sapphir'd King is also seeking out [[the Repentant Devil]] for his skills in soul-refinement, much to the devil's annoyance. | ||

He is also a nemesis of [[the Halved]], and any servants of the Azure that reveal themselves in [[Eleutheria]] are promptly locked in [[Piranesi]]. | ||
The Sapphir'd King is quite fond of using [[the White Well]] to imprison his enemies. Unlike the other wells, the White Well isn't just reserved for the most powerful of beings; the Sapphir'd King will imprison anyone he perceives to be a threat. This is often a punishment reserved for '''the Failed Dead''', or those who once sought out immortality during their lives. It's arguably the most densely packed out of the four wells, though the Azure's abuse of the White Well may come | The Sapphir'd King is quite fond of using [[the White Well]] to imprison his enemies.

The Azure's daughter is known as '''the Arbiter of Fates''', and she resides within a palace of her own called '''the Shadow of the Sun'''. Audience with the Arbiter is only granted to those who pledge their service to the Blue Kingdom, and even then, those of mere flesh and blood must undergo a procedure to properly prepare themselves for her radiance. The Arbiter is her father's second-in-command, and she is the only being capable of granting '''Indulgences''', which can override all of the Kingdom's bureaucracies with a single word. Despite her power, however, she cannot leave the Blue Kingdom. | The Azure's daughter is known as '''the Arbiter of Fates''', and she resides within a palace of her own called '''the Shadow of the Sun'''.
