Summary
Cora Laianyo works at the museum in Gorjo City, studying traditional islander ships.

Early Life
Cora was raised in Gorjo City. Her paternal grandparents were early immigrants to the city from the Outer Ring. Her maternal grandparents died in a sea journey to visit relatives in the Isolates. Her parents raised her in the less traditional manner common to those who lived in the city, which disappointed Cora who was interested in traditional islander culture.

Cora decided to attend the university in Gorjo City to become an archeologist, taking classes that allowed her to learn more about traditional islander culture. In an ecology class about the history of food and plants she met Ghillian Poyë, who would become her best friend. At a party during her first term, she met and Falbert Kindraa, who she would go on to marry.

Adult Life
Cora Laianyo married Falbert Kindraa and had two sons, Faldo and Parno. Cora and Falbert later separated.

Cora works at the museum in Gorjo City, studying traditional ships. Around the time of Cliopher Mdang's promotion to Viceroy of Zunidh, she found a boat moored in Gorjo City, and began work to restore it with some of her students. Cliopher later identified the boat as the Tui-tanata, the ship he had built and sailed across the Wide Seas.
