Despite my usual intent, I feel there's a mundane explanation for this, only because for once I feel there can only be a mundane explanation on account of the Telvanni would never let another magely house muscle in on their territory. They needed a fifth Great House with the expulsion of the Hlaalu to prevent ties in Council decisions (sort of, since realistically Redoran probably just tells the council what decisions the Council will have made by day's end, but there are appearances to be upheld) so Redoran likely took a rich yet un-influential House and rose it up to Great House status, ensuring yet another puppet in the Council.
