Jasnah had direct involvement in monitoring the [[Expedition to Akinah|expedition]] of the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' to [[Akinah]]. Ardent [[Rushu]] was in communication with Jasnah via [[spanreed]] to report sightings of unusual spren and reported a cluster of [[luckspren]] following the ''Wandersail'' after [[Cord]] sighted them.{{book ref|sa3.5|7}} After a [[santhid]] corpse was found by the crew of the ''Wandersail'', and was subsequently exposed as a fake, Jasnah was contacted by [[Vstim]] on behalf of [[Rysn Ftori|Rysn]] to ask about the legends of the [[Aimian]]s. Jasnah recalled two theories on the nature of the santhid that disintegrated into a pile of cremlings; the first being reports of Aimians being able to take off their arms and legs and reattach them; the second being an old story about creatures who were living heaps of cremlings. In the stories these creatures would hide and grow in the attics of buildings before devouring the occupants below. Jasnah originally overlooked these stories but due to the current events on Roshar at the time, cautioned Rysn against these types of creatures.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} When Rysn postulated that the santhid could have been the work of a [[Fused]] [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaver]], Jasnah chided herself for her own lapse in judgement, citing the newness of Lightweaving magic as the reason for overlooking it as a possibility. Jasnah drew the conclusion that if an enemy Lightweaver were attempting to stop the expedition, then the [[Voidbringer]]s would be taking considerable lengths to prevent them from reaching Akinah, and the secrets there must be more important than first believed.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}
