The most famous and powerful king, Markis, had one sister, who was so beautiful and lovely, attractive and honorable, well mannered and beloved, magnificence and generous that as far as people knew, another such cheerful being could not be found in the world.

To be Comely is to be handsome, lovely and charming.
- In thought and word, it is the use of charisma - or just attractiveness.
- There are not a lot of ways to directly achieve your goals in actions or craft with mere charisma, but you can do it with aplomb and attention others may not be able to.
- The same goes for combat. Being beautiful does not make you more violent, though it may distract or appeal to pity - but you can definitely achieve secondary goals with it.
You do not have to be Courtly or Subtle with your charm to be Comely, though it often helps.
Comeliness is most worthy of the reputations, because beauty is worthy for its own sake.
