Ember Court

The Ember Court was the event held by Prince Renathal before being banished to the Maw in order to sustain his influence in Revendreth. He is now re-establishing his court and inviting VIPs from Revendreth and beyond.Venthyr Covenant Ember Court rank descriptions
==Description==
A new court has opened in Revendreth, where Prince Renathal attempts to unite allies from across the Shadowlands and increase his covenant's influence.
The Ember Court is both a weekly event that is the Covenant Feature of the Venthyr Covenant, a reputation faction gained through doing the event, and the topmost floor of Sinfall. 
It is organized by Temel from the Spire of the Unseen Guests, and the party occupies the entirety of the topmost level of Sinfall.
The guest list is maintained by Lord Garridan, entertainment is organized by the dredger Hips, and refreshments provided by Picky Stefan from your first Court. Gaining reputation with the Ember Court unlocks further party organizing options, themes by Boot the Beaut and security by Watchmaster Boromod, purchased from Temel. Lady Ilinca also sells Ember Court related items. Increasing your reputation also unlocks one of the color tints for the Venthyr Covenant sets, purchased from Lady Rovinette.
==Mechanics==
The five categories of preferences are:
*Cleanliness, ranging from Messy to Clean
*Danger, ranging from Safe to Dangerous
*Decadence, ranging from Humble to Decadent
*Excitement, ranging from Relaxing to Exciting
*Formality, ranging from Casual to Formal
Before entering the Ember Court, various NPCs allow you to select options to modify it from the onset, allowing for different events or quests within the instance to help with the preference bar. Each option must be unlocked through a quest, the expansion of options must be purchased from Temel, and every week one of these NPCs requires a quest before you can choose an option that always requires obtaining one reagent and 20-50 Infused Ruby.
Note, that each selection grants both its default and the opposite, with a slight boost to the default from the onset of the scenario. For example, the Traditional decoration is +Dangerous because the candles cause fires, but if you put them out it grants +Safe.
The more NPCs you unlock, the more upgrades you obtain (Sanctum Upgrade or purchased upgrade), and the more selections you unlock, the more populated the Ember Court becomes, both instanced and uninstanced. For example, unlocking Stoneborn Reserves as an option places stoneborn statues and gargoyles all over the perimeter of Sinfall.
Different rewards are obtained at the end of each party depending on both your standing reputation with each RSVP Guest and their happiness levels. Each guest has a set of preferences that makes them happier, and going contrary to those preferences makes them unhappy. 
The happiness spectrum ranges from Miserable, to Unhappy, to Uncomfortable, to Comfortable, to Happy, to Elated. Elated brings the most anima rewards, the most reputation gain for that guest, and the rarer rewards. In addition, you gain reputation for each guest you have present, where the more you have, the more you gain.

==Notes==
*After reaching Best Friend status, the toy Quill of Correspondence lets the player write a letter to a random Best Friend, and the player receives a reply at the next reset. See the toy's page for all the letters.
*The on-approach dialogue and gossip text changes based on friendship level; some appear to change only once (before Buddy vs Buddy or higher), others change two times (before Buddy, Buddy to Friend, Friend and higher).
*Within the instance, the gossip for each guest never changes. However, the dialogue after the event depends on happiness levels, and some guests can trigger (inconsistently) special dialogue during the instance if they are very happy or very unhappy. Prince Renathal's ending speech and dialogue during the instance changes depending on theme levels.
*Though in the uninstanced version the tower is named Spire of the Unseen Guests, the instanced version of the Ember Court retained its original alpha name, Spire of the Unseen Servants, until patch 9.1.5.
*If the player tries to leave the Ember Court area during the instance, an Opportunistic Assassin stoneborn will kill the player.
*The Hired Curators that appear once you unlock Mortal Reminders decorations belong to Cartel Ta.
*Holiday specific changes
**During the Feast of Winter Veil, additional options are available near Theotar to boost your guests' happiness. You can offer them a toast, give them a gift, or even sing from a Winter Veil Caroling Book.
**During the Lunar Festival, Naladu is seen in the Winter Court, giving you a buff.
**During Love is in the Air, Theotar once again provides happiness boosts.
**During Noblegarden, Theotar puts you on an egg hunt, where finding and turning in all four eggs gives you a buff, 300% friendship gains, five minutes extra time during the segment you are in (make sure to not turn it in during "Preparation"!), and bonus happiness for all guests.
**During Children's Week, Theotar's ward "Bubbins" appears next to Theotar and offers you a cosmetic parasol and a cooldown reducing buff tea.
**During Midsummer Fire Festival, there is a bonfire behind Theotar that can be lit for bonus happiness to all guests, and dredgers juggling lit torches all over the instance.
**During Brewfest, Theotar offers a selection of three experimental teas; trying them all gives 300% friendship gain increases and granting bonus happiness for all guests.
**During Hallow's End, Theotar gives you a Vision of Sire Denathrius to scare all present, granting bonus happiness to all guests.
**During Pilgrim's Bounty, Theotar offers a Neverending Feast that increases friendship gains with your guests and also increasing their happiness during the court.
