===Role in the Ghostbloods===
The Ghostbloods have a clear hierarchy{{book ref|sa4|30}} and Iyatil appears to be one of the highest-ranking members on Roshar. She serves as a teacher and mentor for [[Mraize]]; he refers to her as his '[[babsk]]' in local parlance, and she has supervised him on several trips off-world.{{wob ref|1394}} She is aware of people and organizations such as [[Gavilar]] and the [[Sons of Honor]] that are tampering with magic that could have larger cosmere implications, and works to investigate them.{{book ref|sa2|63}} She investigated [[Talenel]]{{book ref|sa2|63}} and sought to speak with [[Shalash]].{{book ref|sa3|i|8}} She is empowered to negotiate on behalf of the master of the Ghostbloods, [[Thaidakar]],{{book ref|sa4|60}} and keeps him apprised of the situation on Roshar since he cannot visit himself.{{book ref|sa4|115}} Although Thaidakar is Iyatil's master, she leads independently; Thaidakar's remote location means that he does not always have detailed knowledge of the Ghostbloods' activities.{{wob ref|15689}}{{wob ref|15014}}
