! width="13%"|NPC || width="10%"|Status || Notes
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]].

Since 4,878 M.E., the Argent Mirror is [[Myasara Illistim]].

After the opening of the trail across the Dragonspine Mountains (via [[Zul Logoth]]) which connects the Elven Nations to the adventuring lands of [[Wehnimer's Landing]], [[Solhaven]], [[Icemule Trace]] and [[River's Rest]], Ta'Illistim also became frequented by adventurers. In the case of Ta'Illistim, most of these adventurers were relatively experienced, having traveled there after gaining some skills elsewhere.

Some of the major personages recently active in the Illistim Court include:
*Argent Mirror [[Myasara Illistim]]
*[[Ardtin Illistim|Ardtin Greyvael Illistim]], former Argent Mirror, current member of the [[Council of Thrones]]
*[[Seneschal|Seneschal Aeriadrn Ghaeriden]]
*Sapphire Guard Commander [[Murstyr Javilerre]]
*First Loremaster [[Meachreasim Illistim]]
*Loremaster [[Caylio Javilerre]] (deceased)
*[[Hycinthia Javilerre]] (deceased)
*Loremaster [[Zenlynn Veythorne Illistim]]
*[[Gelynne Greyvael Illistim]]
