  "summary": "The court system in The Blood of Dawnwalker plays a significant role in player progression. According to Polygon, players can choose to sabotage Brencis' court, influence his boyars, and increase Coen's notoriety among the rebels, which can open up new pathways to defeating Brencis, but at a cost.\n\nIn addition to the court system, players also face difficult choices, such as in Anca's questline, as reported by PC Gamer. When encountering The Font, players must decide whether to use it for themselves or let Anca use it. If the player chooses to use it, they gain the Font of Life passive, which regenerates human health during the day.\n\nThe player's decision affects Anca, with PC Gamer reporting that she accepts the player's choice and speculates that there may be other ways for her to rid herself of her curse.",
