Consorts

*[DISCLAIMER: This article is still under heavy construction. All '[]' will be replaced to links to relevant pages in time. And I know the wording is not perfect yet and the images are awful. Thank you for your patience, Your Majesty!]*
*[EDIT: Not sure about should be in 'Harem' and what should stay here.]*

## Presentation

Consorts are a key part of the game. They're the one who give [Descendants]. They also have a more direct impact into your power. This article offers precisions for the Consorts themselves and should be read along with the [Harem] for more information.

## Characters List

Consorts can be unlocked through different methods. They each have a number a affection points required for you to marry them and add them to your [Harem].
Each Consort has two incarnations: A female and a male one. Every new Consort you get is female by default. You'll have to reincarnate them if you wish to get their mal version instead. The first reincarnation (female to male) is free for every Consort. Next reincarnations will require a Life Gem (200 gold in [Shop]). Here is a list of available consorts in both forms with the following information:

* Where to find them

* How many Affection points you need to marry them

* The skill(s) they're most adept at

* Which Minister they influence

## Intimacy

Intimacy is a very important part of the Consorts mechanic. It majorly influences your [Descendants] (aptitudes, stats and level limits). Intimacy is upgraded through two methods:

#### **Bestowal**

Bestowal is also known as 'granting'. In your [Harem], you can donate [Headwear] to your [Consorts] in order to upgrade their Intimacy level. Headwear is stored in your [Treasury]. Each type of Headwear holds a different amount of points (10, 50, 100 and 4000). *[n.b. Will rewrite that part and link what's needed. duh. Maybe a quick list of all headwears with their points with a referral to the Treasury page?]*

#### **Favoring**

Favoring costs gold and grants both Intimacy and influence. The higher level the Consort's Intimacy is, the more expensive it gets. Favoring costs 10 gold per Intimacy level: *Lvl 2= 20*, *Lvl 10= 100* and so on...

Intimacy also gives you access to new stats influencing for the [Minister] relevant to that Consort at key levels : 1, 20, 100 and 200. *[n.b. referral to Harem probably]*

## Influence

Influence is also a key part of the mechanics. It relies on two aspects:

1. *Influence Effect*, which influences your Power directly.
2. *Influence Minister*, which allows your Ministers to better their stats.

[n.b. Probably an image as a visual support. Gonna work on those. At some point. Sorry...]

## Stats

The Consorts have four different skills: Etiquette, Talent, Charm and Scheme. Each of these are developped separately, through different methods:

* Skill packs

* Maids from Foreign Ministry

Skills need to be leveled up for [Harem Promotions] and to grant access to the [Tea Party] system. [n.b. probably the same link but you know... I love to be precise]

#### **Skill packs**

Found in your [Treasury]. Skill packs can be obtained via [Events] rewards, [Foreign Ministry] Gem Shop and [Banquet Hall] Points shop.
