As of 1173, Iyatil is a high-ranking member of the Ghostbloods and lives on Roshar. She is present at Shallan's first meeting with the Ghostbloods and follows Shallan after the meeting, trying to track her back to Tyn.[6] She later accompanies Shallan on a mission for the Ghostbloods, investigating the recent arrival of Talenel to the Alethi warcamps.[2] After the Battle of Narak, a character matching her description attempts to assassinate Highlord Amaram with a blowgun. Her attempt is foiled by Talenel and she manages to escape.
