↑ 5.0 5.1 The Second Storyteller, Sunless Skies. It hasn't changed half so much as it pretends. ↑ The Venerable Flautist, Sunless Skies "But I remember the Halved before the death of its twin. ↑ 3.0 3.1 Ambition: Be Cast into the Depths of Piranesi, Sunless Skies. But the Messenger defied the Halved's command, and the Halved slew it." Outcasts, bound to this Messenger's service. ↑ Talk with Mr Barleycorn, Sunless Skies "There were seven of us, once. One Judgement, the Regent of the Reach, has already fallen victim to its machinations. The Halved has strong ties to the Liberation of Night, possibly to seek revenge upon other Judgements. Diving into the Eye will warp a zailor to the House of Rods and Chains, and the House even has a door back. It is heavily implied that the colossal Eye that lies beneath the Unterzee is the Halved this curious entity sprouts extra eyes on the bodies of zee-captains as a form of "message" to the Neath. Speaking the Halved's former name is a one-way ticket to Piranesi, as is the crime of storytelling in its presence. Either as a form of gratitude or punishment, the now Halved sun turned this storyteller into the plant now known as the Heart-Catcher. This is the reason for Eleutheria's bizarre and Revolutionary-friendly nature. Īgainst all odds, another storyteller was somehow able to persuade the King who Wars to change its viewpoint. The King abandoned its law, and started to actively radiate darkness instead of light. The storyteller was turned into a living story as a punishment for the murder. The death of the King who Speaks also caused the remaining half, formerly called the King who Wars, to go on a rampage and destroy most of Eleutheria's majestic structures.
The revolution was incited by the current resident of the Well of Wonders, a Parabolan storyteller (possibly a Fingerking) who tried to persuade the Binary to abandon their light. The Halved is a former binary star its other half, the King who Speaks , was betrayed and murdered during a revolution. Its surface cools, scabbing over with a black crust. You watch as it draws its fires into itself, becoming sullen, crimson coals. "You see a blazing, golden sun, so close it fills the sky. The Halved claims to have changed, but as some point out, it may not have changed as much as it thinks. The Halved is also the leader of the many organizations in its realm, such as Piranesi and Pan, and it is the arch-enemy of The Sapphir'd King. The Halved is directly responsible for Eleutheria's lawlessness, as it radiates darkness instead of light. In fact, the Halved murdered its own space-crab messenger, the House of Rods and Chains, for defying its command. The Halved governs distance and measures, and it has an array of servants, just like the other Judgements.
