	The Peacock Throne was founded in -49,107 Modern Era by [[Linsandrych Illistim]], who was the first Argent Mirror and the First [[Master of Lore]]. Her bloodline was one of dynastic rule, comprising 18 monarchs over the next 33,922 years. The Post-Lanenreat Argents comprised over 80 Elves for the following twenty millennia, up until the present day, who were instead chosen by the [[Council of Thrones]]. The Council consists solely of former Argents, with much shorter reigns than those of antiquity. The Argent Mirror was not intended as an imperial station, and so relatively accessible, without the power plays and viciousness of other monarchies.

	Unfortunately, [[Queen Myasara]] was the target of an assassination attempt in just such a power play, which ~~has~~ darkened her vision of the outside world. In recent years her rule had been one of striking racial tolerance, which provoked backlashes by Elven supremacists, ultimately costing her the life of her husband [[Caylio Javilerre]] moments after they married. His sister wished to install him as Argent Mirror, replacing Myasara, thus holding the throne by way of murder and marriage.

			In 5,124 M.E., Myasara announced she would end her rulership after 247 years, nominating [[Sayilla Javilerre]] as her successor. With the approval of the Council of Thrones, Sayilla was coronated on 22nd Imaerasta of the same year.
