'''Isildrich Greyvael Illistim''' was a prominent poet of the [[Greyvael]] family within [[House Illistim]].

His famous poem "The Flight to Home" was responsible for giving [[Ta'Illistim]] the epithet "The Shining City". Its patriotism is perhaps singularly appealing to the Illistimi.

'''"The Flight to Home"''' 
''by Isildrich Greyvael Illistim''

I roam through the great wide world, 
Vast vistas to rolling seas. 
Yet, none of them can bespell, 
This wandering Illistimi.

Verdant are the sea-like plains, 
Of my brothers, the [[Ardenai]]. 
I enjoyed their winter games- 
On those shorter, darker days.

The beauty of the columbine- 
The gift of a white alyssum- 
Yet, I could not linger here- 
And sought my Ta'Illistim.

Spring found me in [[Ta'Loenthra]]- 
To see the festival of the Arts. 
Where artists draw their flowers- 
And the poets sing of hearts.

Of dainty Lady's Slippers- 
Her women will seek as gifts. 
But that's not the poet I am- 
And so I hurried from her cliffs.

In Fortified [[Ta'Vaalor]], 
The summer dragonstalk grew. 
The soldiers form their lines – 
Wearing crimson and ecru.

Though mighty is the [[wyvern]], 
And dalliance calls for feverfew. 
I saw the [[Lake of Sorrows]], 
And bid the fortress my adieu.

I fly to you, my Shining City, 
To ease this horrid, burning ache. 
I long to see the dainty pansies, 
Floating serenely in your lakes.

You call to me, my Shining City, 
Beyond thy sapphire gates. 
That's where my feet will carry me- 
And where my yearning abates.
