Following the arrival of the [[Everstorm]] and the beginning of the [[True Desolation]], Yelig-nar became active again. [[Alethi]] Queen [[Aesudan Kholin]], inspired by her father-in-law [[Gavilar]], began an investigation into the Unmade.{{book ref|sa3|84}} She successfully managed to bond Yelig-nar, beginning her transformation during the [[Siege of Kholinar]] during [[Kholinar Wall Guard]]'s attack on the palace. She and her [[Kholinar Palace#Queen's Guard|Queen's Guard]] followed Kaladin and Elhokar down into the eastern gallery of the palace, but she did not pursue them after [[Elhokar]]'s death. However, Aesudan was not strong enough to control Yelig-nar and sometime afterward the power consumed her.{{book ref|sa3|118}}

During the Battle of Thaylen Field, Highlord Meridas Amaram swallowed an amethyst and bonded with Yelig-nar{{book ref|sa3|120}} in fulfillment of the promised power Odium had offered him.{{book ref|sa3|118}} He and some of the [[Fused]] fought [[Kaladin]] as Amaram transformed, growing amethyst crystals from his body.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Kaladin successfully managed to crack the gemstone that had replaced Amaram's heart, heavily injuring him and knocking him out of the battle for a time. Later, when [[Nergaoul]] was captured, Amaram confronted a heavily wounded Kaladin who had exhausted his Stormlight. Amaram nearly killed Kaladin with a [[Shardblade]]. However, [[Rock]] arrived in time to shoot Amaram in the head and chest with arrows from a [[grandbow]], shattering Amaram's central amethyst, killing Amaram and separating Yelig-nar from his host.
