In the map interface, the Emperor's Step is also named as the lower floor of the Shrine of Seven Stars.

The Emperor's Step^{[46.7, 45.2]}

is the main hall within the Alliance-controlled Shrine of Seven Stars^{[86, 63]}

in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. The lower section contains various vendors, as well as mailbox and access to a guild bank in the corner^{[58.5, 48.8]}

. The engineering-only auctioneer can be found here. A split staircase leads to the upper level of the shrine, as well as the eastern and western balconies of the hall.
