| ⚫ | During the [[War of Reckoning]], Velat likely lives in the Kholin warcamp on the [[Shattered Plains]]. Towards the end of the war, [[Shallan Davar]] is escorted onto the plateaus by [[Dalinar]]'s troops so that she can observe a [[chasmfiend]] chrysalis. When [[Kaladin]] and Shallan become stranded in a chasm, she tells him that she does not have any maps with her because she had been using maps that she borrowed from Velat.{{book ref|sa2|69}} |

| − | ===True Desolation=== |
||
| − | During the [[True Desolation]], Velat moved to [[Urithiru]] and continued working as a cartographer for the [[coalition of monarchs]]. She participated in early missions of the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]'', working with engineers to chart out courses for the airship. She had some apprehension about flying on the ship, but she was the best cartographer available because Isasik was busy with other tasks. While the ''Fourth Bridge'' was underway, she tethered herself to the deck; she wished that Navani would do the same. She also provided maps to other members of the coalition, including [[Dieno enne Calah]].{{book ref|sa4|3}} |
