Sister Ismari Wan Cordell was a Meta-Historian primarily concerned with Archon society.
Cordell wrote the article 'How Temporal Were The Lords Temporal?' in the journal Palimpsest in 2297, about the relation and "disdain" of the Lords Temporal to the Universe, then wrote Archon: When Being Ethereal Just Isn't Enough in 2301, concerning the idea that the "remote, sexless image" cultivated by the Great Houses was largely a façade, despite M. Platt's 1992-1997 inquiries into the elemental's reproductive systems.
Throughout her work, Cordell also put forward a "culturally-founded" suggestion that Lesser Time Elemental local years should be formulated as "13-period years". According to Olivia Kagg Waldermein, Cordell's "famous bon mot" was the question of whether the history of the formal study of meta-time had been "subjected to repeated, imperfect iteration", meaning Meta-Historians were possibly responding to each other "one retcon too late" each time, making the study itself ineffective.
