Ishnah worked as an assistant{{book ref|sa3|51}} in House [[Hamaradin]]'s spy network, where she was trained in several useful espionage techniques. Brightlady Hamaradin was eventually assassinated after vexing the [[Ghostbloods]], and when her spies were named suspects Ishnah fled. She eventually came to work for a gang of petty thieves in Urithiru's underground.{{book ref|sa3|40}} She crossed paths with Veil, in a tavern in [[All's Alley]], where Shallan revealed herself to be a member of the Ghostbloods.{{book ref|sa3|18}} With a desire to use her training for something greater, Ishnah sought out Veil in hopes of joining the secret society herself.{{book ref|sa3|25}} After being initially turned her away, Ishnah began spying on Veil

Ishnah began her instruction by taking Veil, [[Vathah]], [[Gaz]], and [[Red]] to a tavern where she explained the importance of learning to make observations without being noticed
A few weeks later, Shallan selected Ishnah, along with Vathah and Red, to travel with her on [[Elhokar]]'s mission to retake [[Kholinar]], under the pretense that she was Shallan's maidservant.{{book ref|sa3|60}} Upon the groups arrival in the city, Shallan confirmed Ishnah's growing suspicions that she and Veil were the same person.{{book ref|sa3|62}} In Kholinar, Ishnah supported Shallan's efforts to earn the notice of the [[Cult of Moments]] by helping her steal and redistribute food. Their first job occurred at [[Rockfall]], where Ishnah, disguised as a rug merchant, distracted the Brightlady [[Nananav]] while Shallan and her men committed the burglary.{{book ref|sa3|72}} Ishnah often looked for opportunities to continue Vathah and Red's education during their time in Kholinar, going so far as to train Vathah to plan their operations.{{book ref|sa3|77}} She also acted as Shallan's assistant, taking care of minor tasks such as cleaning blood out of Veil's clothing{{book ref|sa3|67}} and tracking down a copy of ''[[Mythica]]''.{{book ref|sa3|72}}{{book ref|sa3|77}} Shallan later attached illusions of Veil to Ishnah and Vathah in order to increase her visibility. On one such outing, someone finally made contact with Ishnah, giving Veil instructions to join the revel.{{book ref|sa3|74}}
After Shallan's abrupt departure from Kholinar via the corrupted [[Oathgate]], Ishnah, Vathah, and Red worked together with [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]] to rescue [[Gavinor Kholin]] and escape the city unharmed. They traveled south, where they were able to make contact with [[Dalinar Kholin]]
