In Urithiru, Jasnah contacted two colleagues of hers, both Veristitalians, who studied under the same master as she. She had lost her spanreeds when the ''[[Wind's Pleasure]]'' sank, and had to contact them through an intermediary in one of [[Tashikk]]'s famous information centers, using a scribe she'd personally interviewed and bribed to maintain confidentiality. [[Ethid]], an [[Azir|Azish]] [[Azir#Religion|Scion]], told Jasnah about the sightings of [[Nalan]] in Azir. Their other colleague, Jochi, a male Thaylen baker who used a pen name to publish his writings on philosophy, did not believe them at first. Ethid wrote of [[Lift]]'s antics during the selection of the new [[Prime]], as well as their suspicions that the lawkeeper who tried to kill Lift was Nalan, and that Lift was an [[Order of Edgedancers|Edgedancer]].{{book ref|sa3|53}} They also discussed the strange behavior of the Thaylen Parshmen, who stole ships and set out to sea. This data, combined with Kaladin's very different interactions with the Alethi Parshmen{{book ref|sa3|31}} and Dalinar's learning about the behavior of the Azish Parshmen,{{book ref|sa3|65}} lead Jasnah to wonder about the different Parshendi social constructs. During the conversation, Jasnah saw Renarin conversing with his spren and asked Ethid about descriptions of [[Order of Truthwatchers|Truthwatcher]] [[spren]]. She took notice of her cousin's strange behavior and decided to investigate his Nahel Bond and the proper spren for the Truthwatchers.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
 
Jasnah knew that the humans were the true Voidbringers before anyone else, having learned the fact from Wit when she found him after returning to the physical realm.{{book ref|sa3|47}} Nevertheless, she took an anti-pacifist stance in strategy meetings after [[Kaladin]] suggested negotiating with the Parshendi, arguing that the Voidbringers were ruthless creatures who needed to be stopped rather than oppressed citizens who deserved the same rights as humans.{{book ref|ob|39}} Jasnah also advocated to find the [[Heralds]] and kill them, thus restoring the [[Oathpact]] and returning the [[Fused]] to [[Damnation]]. Her plan was shot down by Dalinar and Kaladin. In addition, Jasnah suggested that humans try to regain control over the [[Shinovar|Shin]] [[Oathgate]] second -- as opposed to the one in Azir or TheylenahThaylenah, which her uncle had been trying to do -- so that they could cross all of Roshar in one bound. The plan did not work in execution, as the Shin were unresponsive to Dalinar's entreaties, possibly because they didn't want it to be discovered that the [[Honorblade]]s were kept there.{{book ref|sa3|106}}
