Editing Ledaal Cordelia (section)

==Backgrounds==
*Resources 5 (Quite wealthy for a dynast) (2 bp + 1 dot from Spiral Academy)
Cordelia's resources come several sources. In exchange for her decades of service to the house, she receives a generous stipend from her family.  That stipend is supplemented by income from her novels, and from an assortment of successful business ventures.

*Artifact 4 (6 dots.  Please see below) (2 bp)

*Allies 3  
''Ledaal Catala Myria''--sister and skilled Sorceress.

''Gray Seeker of Enlightenment Through the Praxis of Enrichment''--commonly referred to as Gray Richie. Gray Richie is one of the rare Mountain Folk to have set up shop in the world outside the Blessed Mountain, and he carries proudly a letter from Ledaal Kebok Omeger himself authorising him to operate a variety of business in the Realm, as long as he runs a mechanised page-producing systemograph at no personal profit. The Mempes, as it is known, is a strange device that duplicates prints books automatically using the secret lore of the Mountain Folk. It is that device that makes the mass release of the Passionate Rose books possible and profitable in a way that would inconceivable to members of V'Neef Sodats generation. He also manages a dozen distillery, a variety of trinket stalls in the Empyrian markets and a few hundred blacksmiths, and he has invested quite a sum of Cordellia's money in these ventures, which accounts for her ridiculously fabulous wealth for an artist on a limited familial stipend.
