"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 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 are commonly used by the Sapphir'd King to enforce his rule over the Blue Kingdom, and they are best known for guarding the vaults of souls from spirifers.[3]
The most prominent and powerful Logos in the Blue Kingdom is the Pansekritis, which acts as the final judge of the House of Days. The sigil of this Logos is plastered on the numerous courts of the House of Days, and can be interpreted in three ways: "Eternal dominion,""Everything in its place," and "No drop-in meetings permitted."[4]
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.[5]
The azure Order of Perfection hunt the Antedeceased, those who dare to be legally alive in the Blue Kingdom.[6]
The golden Order of Visitation delivers judgements to the Ephemera, those who are legally dead.[7]
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.[8]
The Courtesy[]
The Fire That Follows
"Some secrets – like the Courtesy – are dangerous for those of us lower on the chain even to speak of. You must learn them from something higher."[9]
There is another order of logoi, called the Courtesy, that does not serve the Sapphir'd King. It enforces the rules of the great agreement between stars, which allows them to kill each other so long as they follow a set of regulations.[10] Beware this knowledge, lest you be hunted by the Fire that Follows...[11]
↑Ask it what the Courtesy is, Sunless Skies"An order of Logoi that were made to be the agreement's impartial arbiters. They are also charged with keeping the existence of the Courtesy, and the strife in the heavens, a secret from lesser beings."
↑Ambition: Ask Mr Menagerie about the Fire that Follows, Sunless Skies"The Fire that Follows. Dangerous knowledge for us; more so for you. The Fire is a hunting-flame. It comes for those who know a thing they should not know. [...] A secret, sworn between suns. The knowledge itself is the scent it follows. And when it has you, the Courtesy will come."
