=== Ancient History ===
Sja-anat's origin is unknown; thus it is uncertain when she came into being. She was involved in the past [[Desolation]]s,{{book ref|sa3|77}} with her corrupted spren serving as spies on mankind.{{book ref|sa2|4}} In the past when her corrupted spren were seen in a village, the people often fled their homes.{{book ref|sa3|77}} Sja-anat herself was the Unmade most feared by the Radiants.{{epigraph ref|sa3|97}}
After [[Aharietiam]], Sja-anat remained on Roshar, although none of her corrupted spren are known to have been sighted since the Final Desolation. In the time after [[Aharietiam]] she mostly slumbered, as it was difficult for her to think without her bond to Odium.{{book ref|sa4|i|2}} At some point Sja-anat corrupted the true spren [[Glys]].{{book ref|sa3|117}}
Once the [[Everstorm]] appeared in [[Shadesmar]], Sja-anat found herself revitalized, able to think and plan once again.{{book ref|sa4|i|2}} Following the arrival of the Everstorm in the Physical Realm and the beginning of the [[True Desolation]], Sja-anat became overtly active the area around [[Kholinar]]. She began corrupting spren in and around the city.{{book ref|sa3|77}} During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], as a part of a trap for [[Adolin Kholin]], [[Shallan Davar]], [[Kaladin]], and their spren, Sja-anat was forced to touch the spren of the Kholinar [[Oathgate]] to corrupt it.{{book ref|sa3|84}} When Shallan infiltrated the palace in the guise of a messenger, Sja-anat saw her.{{book ref|sa3|63}} Sja-anat attempted to reach out to Shallan and tell her that she was not her enemy while she danced with the [[Cult of Moments]]{{book ref|sa3|74}} and when she infiltrated the revel on the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|78}}▼

During the assault on the [[Kholinar Palace]], Sja-anat spoke to Shallan and revealed to her that the Oathgate had been corrupted and that she was supposed to kill them if they activated the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|84}} When Shallan and her companions decided to activate the Oathgate anyway, Sja-anat promised that she would try not to kill them,{{book ref|sa3|85}} and when the gate was activated they were merely transported to Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|87}}
After Shallan and her group were transported in Shadesmar, Sja-anat lied to Odium and told him that corrupting the Oathgate had had an odd effect and that the Radiants had been sent far from the point of transfer.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Despite this lie, Sja-anat believed that Odium still did not trust her. Shortly afterward, Sja-anat sent a corrupted gloryspren to deliver a message to Shallan. It explained the lie that Sja-anat had told Odium, as well as the fact that Odium's servants were pursuing them in Shadesmar. It also revealed that Shallan's deception had worked, and Odium believed her to be an Elsecaller rather than a Lightweaver. At some point the [[Ghostbloods]] became aware of Sja-anat's disloyalty to Odium and sent Shallan orders to either recruit her to their organization or capture her.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
