The Coteries colonised the [[RMS|Revelatory Majesty Sphere]] in the [[Amazolian system]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Farewell to Arms (short story)|A Farewell to Arms]]'') The Coteries donated RMS to [[Roger (A Farewell to R.M.S.)|Roger]]'s family as part of a peace treaty after accidentally desolating the Rogers' homeworld.

After discovering [[the Library (White Canvas)|the Library]], they became predominately known as the "Bookkeepers", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Farewell to R.M.S. (short story)|A Farewell to R.M.S.]]'') but were still interchangeably called "Plume Coteries". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[White Canvas (short story)|White Canvas]]'', ''[[A Farewell to Arms (short story)|A Farewell to Arms]]'', et al.) Most Bookkeepers became closer in size to classical [[human]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Farewell to R.M.S. (short story)|A Farewell to R.M.S.]]'', ''[[White Canvas (short story)|White Canvas]]'') Some of the Bookkeepers' smaller members acted as dignitaries to the outside universe, using specially-sized [[Plume Coteries diplomatic craft|diplomatic craft]] to travel through [[space]].

When the [[Great House]]s 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 scoop]]ing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Farewell to R.M.S.

As part of "a long story that could be a book in itself", [[Coloth]] was [[Resurrection|resurrected]] by the Bookkeepers to act as an agent of theirs. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[White Canvas (short story)|White Canvas]]'') Sometime after this, dignitaries of the Coteries from the "distant reaches of dead space" came to [[Terra Primagenia]] to attend the unveiling of [[Cernunnos]].

Some Bookkeepers came to [[the Needle]] to witness the signing of the [[Christmas Needle Agreement]], where they got into a heated talk with the [[Firmament]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[White Canvas (short story)|White Canvas]]'') | |||
