{{anchor|Chapter 74}}
 
Venli is surveying the listener scholars she has organized and is using as a front for the discoveries that Ulim gives her, and we learn that the listener families have united. Ulim complains about the difficulty of bringing in new voidspren, and Ulim mocks Venli for how little she knows about the humans and their capabilities. He also chastises her when she defends her ancestors; if they hadn’t abandoned Ulim’s people, they would have ended up as slaves like the Parshmen. Ulim says that wasn’t their fault; that that they were stuck on Braize, unable to return because of Taln, when the Unmade decided to start a war without them. It was led by Ba-Ado-Mishram, who gave out forms of power to all of the listeners, becoming connected to them. When Ba-Ado-Mishram became captured, the listeners lost part of themselves. Venli returns home and finds her mother upset because she can't remember some of the songs, and Venli comforts her. She decides to do what Ulim says because she believes she must in order to avoid slavery under the humans. They decide to manipulate Gavilar into bringing the listeners to Kholinar which Venli believes will be enough to intimidate them into taking on forms of power.
