Following the destruction, Stormseat wasn't rebuilt, but rather left to crumble. Over time, the nation of [[Natanatan]] fell, until only a single coastal city, [[New Natanan]], claims descendancy from it.{{book ref|sa3|96}} It is perhaps for this reason that while Urithiru was abandoned prior to the [[Recreance]] and all the other [[Oathgate]]s were locked from both sides, the one in Stormseat remained accessible.{{book ref|sa2|86}}

Though [[listeners]] have lived on the [[Shattered Plains]] since before the [[Aharietiam]], they made their home at the collapsed domes. It was only following the assassination of the [[Alethi]] king, [[Gavilar Kholin]], that they moved to Narak, as its remote location made it a better defensive position. Over the next five years, the listeners transformed Narak into a functioning city, building on top of the old structures.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Though they might've been more spread out at the start, at the very end of the [[War of Reckoning]], their entire nation lived there.{{wob ref|6513}}

At the same time, the listeners at Narak were transforming into [[stormform]], while the children, the elderly and those who refused to change abandoned the city for the dubious safety of the Plains further east.{{book ref|sa2|i|13}} Eventually, the stormforms and the Alethi clashed over Narak and the surrounding plateaus in the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|83}} Though the listeners were defeated, it was not before they managed to summon the [[Everstorm]], and Shallan had to rescue the Alethi armies by reactivating the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa2|86}}
