The Argent Mirror was the proper title of the monarch of House Illistim. The egalitarian nature of Illistim culture was such that all Elves were regarded as noble in some fashion, and so the monarch was intended to mirror the best in her people as a whole. Though there was a formal deference to The Argent, it was reflective of the respect for Illistim itself. The Argent Mirror was to be regarded as second only to pure knowledge.
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 fiancee Caylio Javilerre. His sister wished to install him as Argent Mirror, replacing Myasara, thus holding the throne by way of murder and marriage.
The Argent Mirrors
The chronology of all monarchical reigns is based on the work of Chief Scholar Hiraani Gael Illistim. While the dynastic line is consistent with the work of Meachreasim, the post-Lanenreat timeline contradicts him on several points, with discrepancies on the order of centuries or millennia. Contrast with his Timeline of Elanthian History.
