Nantu was the city that served as the headquarters of the Order of Lorekeepers, which was where their Council of Elders would be found. The Council of Elders were members with privileged access to the tomes of "Greater Wisdom." Their function as keepers of knowledge from following the Arkati was effectively replaced with the Chronicle keepers who helped form Ta'Illistim. "The Council of Elders" in the context of House Illistim were high-ranking Loremasters with almost full access to Library Aies. Adonethwen Illistim, granddaughter of Linsandrych, was a Lorekeeper.

The city was famous for its university, often called the Great University of Nantu. Nantu does not appear on any known map of Elanthia. It might have begun as a re-named I.C.E. Age term, most likely Karilon or possibly Norek, which became out-moded with later development. The relationship between the Lorekeeper society and Illistim state is not clear.
