===Chartered by Shallan===
The ''Wind's Pleasure
===
Jasnah later chartered the ''Wind's Pleasure'' to take her and Shallan down the coast towards the [[Shattered Plains]]. Jasnah paid for the use of one cabin for Shallan and one for herself; Jasnah took the Captain's cabin. At [[Amydlatn]], the ''Wind's Pleasure'' took on a [[new kid|new crew member]].{{book ref|sa2|6}} While traveling down the coast, the ''Wind's Pleasure'' was paced by an exceptionally rare animal called a [[santhid]], which Shallan desperately wanted to sketch. She tied a rope around herself and went overboard in order to see the creature underwater, later producing the first known drawing of a santhid.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
▲The Wind's Pleasure made two appearances in The Stormlight Archive. The wind's pleasure was originally chartered by [[Shallan Davar]] to take her to [[Dumadari]] to meet [[Jasnah Kholin]]. Upon finding that Jasnah was no longer there Shallan asked Tozbek to Continue on to the next city. As this pattern repeated Shallan began to act as a scribe for Tozbek to off set the cost of her travels. When the Wind's Pleasure caught up to Jasnah in [[Kharbranth]] and Shallan was taken as Jasnah's ward Captain Tozbek continued on trading in other ports and eventually returned to pick Shallan up and take her back to [[Jah Keved]] at her request.

Shortly before reaching the [[Shallow Crypts]], the new member of the crew assisted in an armed takeover of the ''Wind's Pleasure''.{{book ref|sa2|7}} The attackers sought to murder [[Jasnah Kholin]] and retrieve her research; Jasnah correctly deduced that the [[Ghostbloods]] were behind this plot.{{book ref|sa2|43}}{{book ref|sa3|33}} Shallan hid during the assault and unconsciously used her [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]] abilities to escape detection.{{book ref|sa2|7}} With [[Pattern]]'s assistance, she then entered [[Shadesmar]] and saw that the crew was being methodically executed. Using her latent [[Soulcasting]] ability, she convinced the ''Wind's Pleasure'' to change so that the crew might have a chance to survive. The ''Wind's Pleasure'' changed into a new form, dropping everyone aboard into the water.{{book ref|sa2|7}} Shallan woke up in the [[Physical Realm]] and believed that the santhid had saved her; neither she nor Pattern knew the fate of the remaining crew members and attackers.{{book ref|sa2|11}}
[[Yalb]] and two other unknown sailors survived the sinking of the ''Wind's Pleasure''. They struggled to find jobs due to rumors about the mysterious disappearance of their ship. Some sailors believed that the ship had been a ghost ship for years, and that was the reason it eventually vanished without a trace. Because of the rumors, no one was willing to hire the three survivors together, and they each went their own way to serve on different ships.{{book ref|sa3.5|prologue}}
==Legacy==
Shallan later learned that [[Tyn]] had masterminded the attack on the ship,{{book ref|sa2|34}} in service of [[Mraize]] and the Ghostbloods.{{book ref|sa2|43}}
Shallan and Jasnah each lost their [[spanreed]]s in the sinking of the ''Wind's Pleasure'', which limited their ability to communicate; Jasnah considered the loss a significant setback for her research.{{book ref|sa2|31}}{{book ref|sa3|53}} When Jasnah and Shallan finally met again in [[Urithiru]], Jasnah immediately apologized for the events of the ''Wind's Pleasure'', which she attributed to her own lack of foresight regarding the attack by the Ghostbloods.{{book ref|sa3|33}}
Shallan took a liking to Yalb, who often playfully flirted with her. She thought of him when she became upset about the death that seemed to follow her despite her best intentions,{{book ref|sa3|82}} and he was one of the first figures that emerged when Shallan used Lightweaving to create an army during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} She is presumably unaware that Yalb survived the sinking.
