History

Ta'Illistim was founded in the year -49,107, when the scholar Linsandrych Illistim began construction of the Library Aies to house the written histories of the nascent Elven Empire, and was ruled by her direct descendants until the events of the Undead War. Subsequent succession has been controlled by the Council of Thrones. The formal title of the ruling king or queen of Ta'Illistim is the Argent Mirror.
