This is shaping up really nicely, good job! I've made a couple of wording changes where the prose broke the fourth wall and have also switched out the reference to the Tor scene with one from OB - because the unpublished scene is uncannonical we can't use it as a reference as this information may change in the future. I popped a line about the scene in Trivia though as it should be mentioned on the page somewhere.
m (I hadn't even realized how far behind that Parshendi-Voidbringer section was; thanks for fixing that too! I just had a few other random things on the page I wanted to tweak)

==== Transportation ====
Jasnah can transport herself into and out of the Cognitive Realm, along with at least her clothing and small physical objects. Going all the way into the Cognitive Realm appears to require a reatergreater degree of cooperation from Ivory and returning to the Physical Realm seems to require something more that going to the Cognitive does not.{{book ref|name=unpublished scenesa3|33}} It is unclear whether she can transport other people or object into Shadesmar, though she did retrieve Shallan from Shadesmar after her ward entered with not enough Stormlight available to return.{{book ref|sa1|70}}
 
==== Resonance ====
Jasnah met with Liss but decided not to assassinate Aesudan, instead ordering Liss to survey her. Jasnah asked Liss about the servant she wanted to show off, but Liss answered that she had sold her Shin servant to a slaver weeks ago for being too good a slave. Hearing that the servant was Shin, Jasnah recalled the servant in white clothing and decided to look into him.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}
 
Jasnah hesitated in returning to the party after she heard the music in the dining hall stop abruptly. She ran into Nale and possibly Kalak, two "ambassadors from the west": thewho onehad withbeen theinvited birthmarkby onthe his right cheek was [[Nale|Nalan]],king.{{book ref|sa2|99}} and his companion is widely believed to be [[Kalak]], deduced after process of elimination.{{ref|text=Of the other male Heralds, [[Jezrien]] was already present as the beggar Ahu, [[Talenel]] was still trapped on [[Braize]], and [[Ishar]] is the God-Priest Tezim.}} Jasnah heard sudden screams and ran toward them, fearing for her family's safety. The sounds led to her father's chambers, and the way was littered with corpses with burned eyes and the walls marked by [[Shardblade]] cuts. She eventually reached a balcony and saw her father in his [[Shardplate]], called to him and made him hesitate. The balcony broke beneath Gavilar, and Jasnah saw the servant she'd seen before fall down with her father. The Shin man somehow changed direction in the air, and fell onto the wall, completely ignoring gravity. While crying to herself, Jasnah was approached by three Parshendi, [[Klade]], [[Gangnah]] and [[Varnali]]. They took responsibility for the assassination and told Jasnah they were sorry for her loss but explained that Gavilar had to be stopped from doing something dangerous. It is now known that Gavilar, as a member of the [[Sons of Honor|Son of Honor]], was trying to bring back the Parshendi gods in the hopes that the [[Knights Radiant]] would return, reinstating the dominance of the Vorin church.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}}{{book ref|sa2|88}} Sadeas stumbled in, saw what happened, and ran toward Gavilar's corpse, where they found [[Szeth|Szeth's]] note to Dalinar written in Gavilar's blood, telling him to find the most important [[Immortal Words|words]] a man could say.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} Jasnah later discovered that this was a direct quote from [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']] by [[Nohadon]].{{book ref|sa1|15}}
 
Hours later, they discovered that the admission and the surrender of those three of the [[Council of Five]] covered the escape of the rest of the Parshendi. Dalinar sent several failed expeditions after the escapees. After refusing to divulge information, the three Parshendi were hanged. Jasnah interrogated Liss and the King's guards about the Assassin in White to no avail, and for the next half-decade would turn to [[The Way of Kings/Epigraphs#Jasnah's Notes|ancient books]] for her answers.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}
* Brandon thinks having [[Sazed]] and Jasnah together could lead to some great discussions of philosophy.{{wob ref|4058}}
* Dalinar's words with Jasnah suggest that she has had other ward(s) in her past, besides Shallan.{{book ref|sa1|28}}
* Brandon has released an uncannonical scene directly following Jasnah transferring to Shadesmar when she is stabbed aboard the ''Winds Pleasure''.{{ref|name=unpublished scene}}
