	Little is known about Ta-Shedet, since it mostly existed in prehistory before any records. The few snippets scholars have are pieced together from ruins, artifacts, oral traditions, and the records of a human traveller Marcellus the Wanderer. For example, it is widely believed the elves of Ta-Shedet worshipped [[Corellon]], not surprisingly, and that one of its last pharaohs was Queen Meritamen assisted by her vizier Areanka. It is believed to have been in western Pteris, somewhere among the dunes of the [[Kharmaja]] today.		Little is known about Ta-Shedet, since it mostly existed in prehistory before any records.

			It was believed that in order to navigate the chaos of the early era [[Quelmar Seasons]], Ta-Shadet had upside-down pyramid-like structures in place which could keep their citizens safe from natural elements such as storms or earthquakes. While these pyramids were often found collapsed into ruins, some speculate at their prime, the pyramids could hover above the surface of the realm, as their upside shape would be impractical to balance on.
