Having read through Jasnah's notes and been convinced that he mentor was correct in her findings, Shallan and Jasnah spoke on the implications of the discovery. Jasnah was convinced that the Parshendi and her fathers death were linked to the parshman. In times long past, after periods of peace the voidbringers - the parshmen, thought Jasnah - would invade and bring with them death and destruction. The were the reason for the Desolations and humanity had not just enslaved them to end the constant fighting but overtime forgotten who they were and intergrated them into every aspect of their society. Shallan realised with horror the chaos that would ensure if all the parshmen of the world were to suddenly revolt. Jasnah enlisted Shallan's help in furthering her research, collecting and collating more information on the Desolations, the Heralds and the Voidbringers. Having exhausted the Palaneaum's resources, Jasnah told Shallan that they would head towards the Shattered Plains so that they could gain further information about the Parshendi. Jasnah acknowledged that there were others looking for the information they sought; a group known as the Ghostbloods, of whom Kabsal had been apart of and who had been behind the assassination attempt. Shallan recognised the symbol of the group as the same one that her father's steward had worn as a pendant. Realising that this group was likely the same one who had insisted on the return of the Soulcaster, Shallan told Jasnah that her father may have been apart of the Ghostbloods.
