TheWoWDB... I have no idea why, but this quest was reset for me. On a whim I decided to run the Ember Court again to take advantage of the anniversary buff. I went to the Ember Court area, and none of the NPCs were there. After wandering around and getting really frustrated, wondering if something had phased me or whatever, I went to talk to Theotar AND LO AND BEHOLD HE HAD THE "A New Court" QUEST READY FOR ME AS IF I HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE.
Of course, I had done this stupid thing before. No, I was not on an alt, I was on the same character I suffered through Shadowlands with the first time.
Anyway, if anyone (like me) comes to the Ember Court and sees all the people who you need in order to be able to do things, this is why. The game might make you walk through the tutorial quests all over again for no reason.

Upon accepting "A New Court":
Theotar says: I am tingling with excitement. This news cannot wait!
Theotar says: My dear Renathal, the rumors are true. We will be hosting court here in Sinfall!
Prince Renathal says: I believe you started most of those rumors yourself, Theotar.
Prince Renathal says: Still, I too am quite pleased. Although, I will be reliant on you to refresh my knowledge of courtly etiquette.
Theotar says: My existence before this moment has been but a rehearsal. I will teach you everything you need to know!
Theotar says: First, we will require more tea. All of the tea!Upon speaking to Picky Stefan:
<Picky Stefan stops dictating to the floaty scroll nearby and looks at you.>
Yes? Do you also have thoughts on the complex aroma of this steak?
- I need you to coordinate the refreshments for our new court.
Picky Stefan says: Of course only the finest ingredients will be used...
Picky Stefan says: Fresh meats! Imported produce! Only the cleanest dredger waiters!
Picky Stefan says: I will be our harshest critic and strongest advocate!Upon speaking to Hips:
You ever see the Lost Chalice Band play music?
Movin' stuff. Real hauntin' melodies.
I started readin' their biography. Finally a book worth learnin' to read for!
- I need you to coordinate the entertainment for our new court.
Hips says: I'm surprised you'd trust a dredger with a job like that.
Hips says: Must've been Theotar told you, yeah?
Hips says: That fang knows talent when he sees it. I got you covered.Upon speaking to Lord Garridan:
Ah, Maw Walker. We were just talking about you.
To what do we owe the honor?
- I need you to coordinate the guest list for our new court.
Lord Garridan says: It would be an honor to assist you and Prince Renathal.
Lord Garridan says: My extensive network of contacts and humble diplomatic skills are at your service.
Lord Garridan says: And, of course, I will make certain that all of you are included on the guest list as well.
Sinfall Socialite says: Ooo! This is going to be the hottest court in Revendreth.
Sinfall Socialite says: I cannot wait to tell Lady Lerae about this!Upon speaking to The Accuser:
There is much work yet to be done.
- I need you to coordinate all of the logistics for our new court.
The Accuser says: I will do no such thing. The troubled souls require my full attention.
The Accuser says: However, if the Prince requires these duties to be performed...
The Accuser yells: Temel!
Temel says: The one and only Sin Herald, at your service, Accuser!
The Accuser says: Your services as Sin Herald are not required here. You will assist the Maw Walker with coordinating a new court.
Temel looks confused for a moment, the quickly pulls a party hat off of his belt and puts it on.
Temel says: The Party Herald is now on duty!
Temel says: You can count on me, Maw Walker! I'm the best at whatever I do!
The Accuser smirks.
The Accuser says: Do have fun.Speaking to Temel to turn in the quest:
Don't worry. We'll figure out how to host this court together. The party heralds!
I love the writing on these quests. Thought I'd transcribe for anyone who missed any of this lovely dialogue :)
The bat to the surface seems completely unnecessary.

Description
My dear {name}, I have heard a delightful rumor that you are considering hosting a new court in Sinfall. If that is true, you simply must permit me to recommend staff to help you host a perfect court. <Theotar pulls long parchments out of his pockets.> I have been developing ranked lists for every court staff position since the moment I stepped foot in Sinfall. I do not wish to be a braggart, but courts are kind of my specialty.

Look, <name>. Venthyr have been throwing fancy courts for themselves ever since they were created. It won't always be easy to impress them with our own court. Don't worry, I've got a plan. I've scheduled a rehearsal court for us to learn the ropes during a practice run.
