'''Nantu''' was the city that served as the headquarters of the [[Order of Lorekeepers]], which was where their Council of Elders would be found. This history was later [[Legacy of the Lorekeepers|retconned]] to remove the word "Nantu", so that the Order of Lorekeepers is now headquartered in Ta'Illistim. The Council of Elders are members with privileged access to the tomes of "Greater Wisdom." Their function as keepers of knowledge from following the [[Arkati]] resembles the later lore of Chronicle keepers who helped form [[Ta'Illistim]]. The phrase "Council of Elders" in the context of [[House Illistim]] usually refers to high-ranking [[Master of Lore|Loremasters]] with almost full access to [[Library Aies]], but it is unclear if there is any relation between the two terms. [[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 [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]] term, functionally replacing [[Karilon]] in backstory, but more likely starting as an inconsistent shifting of [[Biblia|Nomikos]] (which is more familiar as "Biblia"), which became out-moded with later development. The relationship between the Lorekeeper society and Illistim state is not clear.

==Behind the Scenes==
"Scholar from Nantu" below was probably "Scribe of Nomikos" originally, it seems likely to be a De-ICE'd term but has no current definition.

Pulling out an odd-looking pair of round glass disks, the clerk peers through them at some faded notes written in the margin of a massive sheaf of parchments. He squints at them in puzzlement and shakes his head while muttering, "Not even a Scholar from Nantu could read THIS gibberish!"
