==== Parshendi Betrayal ====
In {{Rosharan date|1167}}, Jasnah attended the feast that was held in the [[Kholinar]] Palace after the treaty with the Parshendi was signed. While walking to a meeting with an assassin named [[Liss]] with the intention of having Elhokar's wife, [[Aesudan Kholin|Aesudan]], killed, she noticed her shadow behaving oddly which discomforted her. She walked past Highprince [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]] and a [[Shinovar|Shin]] [[Szeth-son-son-Vallano|servant in white clothing]], and subsequently came across her father and [[Meridas Amaram]] having a quiet conference. Once Amaram left, Jasnah asked Gavilar what he commanded Amaram, but Gavilar deflected the question and hastily left Jasnah, leading her to wonder if he knew about her plans regarding Aesudan. Walking onwards, Jasnah's shadow again acted oddly, and this time, formed into a man-shaped oily blackness with an unsheathed sword. In panic, Jasnah went into [[Shadesmar]] for the first time
She managed to compose herself, and hurried to her appointment with Liss. Once there, she decided not to go through with assassinating Aesudan, and instead ordered Liss to take a job as one of Aesudan's maids, and watch her only. Once the meeting was concluded, Jasnah asked about the servant Liss wanted to show off, but Liss answered that she had sold Shin servant to a slaver weeks ago for being too good a servant. Hearing that the servant was Shin, Jasnah recalled the servant in white clothing she'd seen earlier, and decided to check into him.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}
