Can we get multiple instances of an advantage "set" post-creation?

E.g. being blessed by multiple realms or NotFortunes?

If we up an Origin or Faction, I assume we still have tax on it for Influence upping?

It would depend on the set.

For Realms I'll say no - only one can really have a hold on your soul at a time.

For Fortunes I'll allow it but with the caveat that you can only apply one to a roll even if multiple are applicable. So if you have Benten and Ebisu you still only get +1k1 when trying to persuade a peasant not +1k2

Actually that makes sense so I'll allow it to be used towards that as well.

Advancing Origin/Faction does not increase your rank within it. It just benefits their position within the city. The only mechanical benefit is eliminating the XP penalty on one advantage per point.
Does it not apply here? So if you spend all your points on influence you can get a huge place?

There is no way to increase Influence by spending Day or Night points so I'm not sure I understand.

What would be the cost of a horse?

Same as RAW - the equivalent of a Rokugani pony is 25 copper, equivalent of a normal Unicorn steed is 75 copper, the equivalent to an Utaku war horse is 250 copper. We'll assume this also covers stabling and upkeep.

A camel would be the same cost as a pony.

I've asked about something similar before and may have some follo-up questions, but what would be the cost of a... say relatively simple house?

The plan as you probably know is an orphanage or shelter of sorts, so it doesn't have to be fancy or large - at least not initially.

Typically Carries: 2 knives, robe and sandals, small ring, incense brazier, medicine kit, sling, coin purse.
