When the [[Desolation]]s began, she was one of the ten people made Heralds by [[Honor]] and given a [[Honorblade]].{{book ref|sa3|38}}
 
Along with all of the Heralds but [[Taln]], Pailiah abandoned the [[Oathpact]] at the end of [[Aharietiam]].{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} At some point, she may have joined the [[Ardentia]] and in particular, the [[Devotary of Insight]], who act as caretakers for the [[Palanaeum]] in [[Kharbranth]].{{wob ref|4419}}{{book ref|sa1|33}} It is unclear if she was involved with Taravangian during this time,{{wob ref|11521}}{{wob ref|11589}} and Pailiah may have briefly crossed paths with [[Shallan]] while the young scholar was studying under [[Jasnah]].{{book ref|sa1|33}}{{ref|group=fn|text=In 2017 a Word of Brandon from a signed book confirmed that the ardent Shallan finds in the Palanaeum, while searching for the book ''Shadows Remembered'', is the [[Herald]] [[Pailiah]].
