Jasnah Kholin walks through the feast hall during the celebration of the signing of the Alethi-Parshendi treaty, observing the assembled people, while she goes to a meeting. She notices her shadow pointing the wrong way before it returns to normal. She looks around to see if anyone noticed and sees [[Szeth-son-son-Vallano]]. Outside the hall she runs into her father, King [[Gavilar Kholin]], speaking with Brightlord [[Meridas Amaram]]. [[Tearim]], wearing Gavilar's [[Shardplate]], watches over them. Gavilar speaks too quietly for Jasnah to make out the words but the tone is harsh. She interrupts them and after speaking briefly with her Gavilar sends Amaram away and returns, with Tearim, to the feast. Jasnah remarks on how much he has changed in recent times. |

| β | She moves on and a short time later her shadow again starts pointing toward the light instead of away. She also observes a group of oily figures materialize before her. Jasnah then transfers to [[Shadesmar]] for the first time. She almost drowns in the sea of beads before figuring out how to shape the beads into the shape of one of the palace hallways, using the bead representing the palace itself being too weak to manifest the entire thing. One of the figures approaches her drawing a sword and Jasnah manifests a statue of Talenel to protect herself. The figure bows to her while his companions whisper to each other before Jasnah transfers back to the Physical Realm. She notices that the lanterns near her have been drained of Stormlight and remarks to herself it had been Shadesmar she had just visited. |

She hurries on to her appointment reflecting on the sounds of the Parshendi's drums as they reverberate through the palace. She notices an unfamiliar Veden man outside the prearranged meeting place, in an out of the way section of the palace, and enters to meet [[Liss]], an assassin known as the Weeper. Jasnah hires her to watch her brother's wife, [[Aesudan Kholin]]. Jasnah asks Liss about the new servant she had wanted to show her, thinking that the servant was Talak, standing outside. Liss reacts with confusion before clarifying that she had sold the Shin servant in question a few weeks prior. Before leaving Jasnah reminds Liss of their first agreement, that if anyone attempted to hire Liss to kill a member of Jasnah's family to come to Jasnah who would match the offer in exchange for the individual's name. |
