▲'''Varnali'''
== History ==
He, [[Gangnah]], and [[Klade]] remained behind in the wake of [[Szeth]]'s assassination of [[Gavilar Kholin]].{{ref|b|wor|prologue}} The three Parshendi took full credit for Gavilar's death, but would offer no explanation beyond that they were attempting to avoid the return of their gods. Varnali and the other two were hanged for their crime.▼
In the days when [[Venli]] was first seeking new [[Singer#Known_common_forms|forms]] for the listeners, Varnali sat on the council with [[Gangnah]], [[Klade]], and two others. They heard out both [[Eshonai]]'s argument to unify the listeners and Venli's petition to try to adopt warform from the [[painspren]] she had trapped in a [[Polestone#Topaz|topaz]]. Despite Varnali's feeling that it was a dangerous form, they also thought it would be useful.{{book ref|sa4|62}}
Varnali came to [[Kholinar]] with other elders and listeners to attend the signing of a treaty with the [[Alethi]] and the accompanying feast.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} After the listeners arrived, the Alethi king [[Gavilar Kholin]] gave Eshonai a [[black sphere]] and told her that the Five should know of his intent to release their [[Fused|gods]]. Eshonai reported back to Varnali and the rest of the Five; they were shocked and quickly came to the agreement that Gavilar must be killed in order to prevent his plan.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} The council ordered their newly purchased [[Truthless]], [[Szeth]], to [[Assassination of Gavilar|assassinate the king]].{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Varnali and the other members of the Five were visibly nervous during the feast celebrating the treaty.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}
