/Keepers of the Flame/ doesn't seem to give any dates, and says that
"Glisten was the site of extensive ihatei intrusion, but unlike many
such systems, the Aslan presence was completely rooted out".
1132 is given as the date for the 'fiats accompli', where the Aslan
inside the Regencies' boundaries were accepted as legitimate holders of
the lands they had, so either Glisten wasn't included in that, or the
Aslan were thrown out before then.
I think it's extremely unlikely that any occupation of Glisten happened
after then, because after 1130 there's no longer any source of ihatei -
the ones already there have land, the ones outside the quarantine aren't
coming in (and are probably all dead anyway).
