After the [[Everstorm]] was created, Venli, led by Ulim, sought to find her sister, gone missing during the battle. She was heartbroken upon finding Eshonai dead, and stunned when Ulim told her that he only sought the [[Shardplate]] she'd been wearing at the moment of her death. The event somehow unlocked her ability to attune to the old, pre-stormform Rhythms. While stripping the Shardplate off Eshonai, Venli also spotted a strange [[spren]] escaping from underneath the corpse.{{book ref|sa3|i|3}}
 
When nine listeners were chosen by Ulim to receive "new forms," Venli and Demid were among them. In the Everstorm, the [[Fused]] replaced their souls and possessed their bodies, with the sole exception of Venli. An[[Odium]] ancient, paternal voicehimself protected her, and she was given [[envoyform]] instead. After realizing that the others were effectively dead, Venli once more spotted [[Timbre|the strange spren]], and hid it from the Fused.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}
 
Afterwards, Venli became [[Odium]]'s chief propagandist, first in [[Kholinar]], then in [[Marat]], telling the tragic tale of the listeners who, according to the new narrative, sacrificed themselves to free the [[Parshmen]] of their mindless slavery. During that time, she was kept apart from other singers to maintain her mystique; in lieu of contact with her people, she began chatting at her mute spren, whom she nicknamed [[Timbre]]. At Timbre's urging, she finally admitted that summoning the old gods was a horrible mistake, and that she wished she could be like her sister.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}{{book ref|sa3|i|9}}{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}
 
While she was in Marat, [[Dalinar Kholin]] pulled her into one of his visions, and attempted to negotiate; Venli, however, refused all overtures of peace. The conversation was cut short by [[Odium]] breaking into the vision space, with Dalinar managing to send Venli out just before his arrival.{{book ref|sa3|109}} After that event, Venli boarded one of the ships heading to [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|i|12}}
