== History ==
During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Adolin brought [[Elhokar]]'s rescue party to Yokska's shop; he trusted Yokska and thought it would be an inconspicuous place to hide.{{book ref|sa3|61}} [[Elhokar]], [[Kaladin]], and Adolin interviewed Yokska regarding the recent events in the city. Although she was a bit scattered, she was able to provide a significant amount of information regarding [[Aesudan]]'s strange behavior, the execution of [[Pai]], the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], the [[screamers]], and the disappearance of the [[Palace Guard]]. She provided some hope when she mentioned that some [[lighteyes]] and the [[Kholinar Wall Guard|Wall Guard]] had resisted Aesudan's orders. The three men kept asking questions until [[Shallan]] noticed that Yokska needed a break. While the interview was happening, [[Ishnah]] searched Yokska's bedroom and did not find anything incriminating.{{book ref|sa3|62}}
The shop was in an area of the city that had remained relatively unscathed by the events of the siege.{{book ref|sa3|63}} It remained the rescue party's base of operations, and they held several meetings there.{{book ref|sa3|69}}{{book ref|sa3|83}} Yokska continued to provide information about the city—including Brightlord [[Velalant]], the food shortage, and the [[Cult of Moments]]—while Elhokar and his party formulated their plan to open the [[Oathgate]] adjacent to the palace.{{book ref|sa3|67}} She also made Adolin a flamboyant suit to use as part of his disguise while in public.{{book ref|sa3|69}}
Just before the [[Voidbringer]] assault on the palace, Adolin thanked Yokska for her help and instructed her to flee towards the [[Shattered Plains]] if the city fell. Yokska was already unsettled by the recent turns of events in the city, and was shocked that she and her husband would have to travel so far.{{book ref|sa3|83}}
