Jasnah Kholin has dedicated a large portion of her time since the murder of King Gavilar to finding out as much information as she can about the Voidbringers and the city of Urithiru. Her reasons for this are still not completely known.

Jasnah's notebook was lost at sea after the Ghostbloods' failed attempt to assassinate her. However, Jasnah had backups of her important papers stored with confidants through spanreeds, and was able to restore her notes more or less completely.

“ The ones of ash and fire, who killed like a swarm, relentless before the Heralds. ”

“ They were suddenly dangerous. Like a calm day that became a tempest. ”

— This fragment is the origin of a Thaylen proverb that was eventually reworked into a more common derivation. I believe it may reference the Voidbringers. See Ixsix's Emperor, fourth chapter.
