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}} |

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}} They ordered their newly purchased [[Truthless]], [[Szeth]], to [[Assassination of Gavilar|assassinate the king]].{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} |
Varnali, Gangnah, and Klade remained behind in the wake of Gavilar's death while their people escaped. The three listeners went to Gavilar's rooms and spoke to Brightlady [[Jasnah Kholin]], taking full responsibility for Gavilar's death, but they offered no explanation beyond the fact that they were attempting to avoid the return of their gods. They were hanged for their crime, and the [[War of Reckoning]] began.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} |
