One of seven original noble houses of elves, the House of Illistim was said to have valued knowledge above all else, the elves of the House of Illistim having been known as being great scholars. It was said that no other culture in Elanthia valued knowledge more than the Illistim did, and they were the creators of some of the most powerful of artifacts produced by elves due to their mastery of magic.

The House of Illistim seat of power was in the City-State of Ta'Illistim. It was held by the Argent Mirror, who is presently Queen Myasara.

Illistim society was divided into a number of recognizable branches. Among these include the Loremasters, the Elemancers, the Artificers, the Arch Magi, the Sapphire Guard, the Council of Thrones, and royal representatives such as the Seneschal. There were also a number of private orders of considerably influence, including The Grey Obelisk, The Watchers of the Eternal Eye, The Silver Rod, The Pallid Breath, The Swirling Tempest, The Amber Flame, The Rooted Earth, and The Unending Circle. However, there were many people who were less high profile, being little more than farmers or shopkeeps.
