Natata lived in [[Jah Keved]] two hundred years after the death of King [[NanKhet]] and the founding of the [[Siln]] dynasty. She is best known for writing a dramatized account of NanKhet's life and death, which is the earliest source of information about him to have survived to the present day.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
Despite the long time passing between NanKhet's death and her work, she insisted that her research was rigorous, although [[Jasnah Kholin]] notes that modern scholarship was still in its infancy during Natata's lifetime. Oileyes is said to have had a passion for the dramatic, and took delight in describing the irony of NanKhet's final moments.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
{{quote
| “The great, but weary, NanKhet called for an accounting of all his household. He gathered them together at a grand feast, promising the delights of distant Aimia. Instead, when all were assembled, NanKhet had them executed one by one. Their bodies were burned in a grand pyre, upon which was cooked the meat for the feast that he ate alone, at a table set for two hundred.”
