The Coteries colonised the Revelatory Majesty Sphere in the Amazolian system. (PROSE: A Farewell to Arms) The Coteries donated RMS to Roger's family as part of a peace treaty after accidentally desolating the Rogers' homeworld. (PROSE: A Farewell to Arms, A Farewell to R.M.S.)
After discovering the Library, they became predominately known as the "Bookkeepers", (PROSE: A Farewell to R.M.S.) but were still interchangeably called "Plume Coteries". (PROSE: White Canvas, A Farewell to Arms, et al.) Most Bookkeepers became closer in size to classical humans.

(PROSE: A Farewell to Arms)
When the Great Houses tried to buy RMS from Roger, the Bookkeepers stepped in to help negotiations, postponing the deal for many years due to their lack of field agents. In the interim, they used their books to learn much about the agreements the Houses were making with other powers in preparation for the War in Heaven. When the time came, the Bookkeepers traded RMS in return for the Houses' secrets of time scooping. (PROSE: A Farewell to R.M.S.)
As part of "a long story that could be a book in itself", Coloth was resurrected by the Bookkeepers to act as an agent of theirs.
