He set off into a [[highstorm]], and after sailing sometime through the storm, they found themselves crashed on an island in an archipelago surrounding a whirlpool. The island's people called themselves the [[Uvara]], the People of the Great Abyss. They nursed the survivors from the ''Wandersail'' back to health.

After a Desolation, he commissioned the ship ''[[Wandersail]]'' and sailed westward, seeking the origin of the Voidbringers. He set off into a [[highstorm]], and after sailing sometime through the storm, they found themselves crashed on an island in an archipelago surrounding a whirlpool. The island's people called themselves the [[Uvara]], the People of the Great Abyss. They nursed the survivors from the ''Wandersail'' back to health. The Uvarans punished all failure of any type with execution at the command of their emperor. Derethil discovered that the Uvaran emperor was dead, which caused chaos and rioting among the Uvarans because they had to take responsibility for the brutal murders that they committed in his name. They escaped on the ''Wandersail'' with [[Nafti]], the crew's guide and caretaker.{{book ref|sa1|57}}

The story of his travels to the isles of Uvara was told by [[Hoid]] to [[Kaladin]], possibly using [[Yolish Lightweaving]].{{book ref|sa1|57}}

This story deals heavily with taking responsibility for one's actions, and has parallels to [[Szeth]]'s turmoil, who was forced to go through an almost identical realization during the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|85}} It also parallels Kaladin's choosing to blame various sources, such as [[lighteyes]] or the Almighty for his misfortune.
