{{update|book=sa3}}

[[Kaladin]], accompanied by two of his squires, [[Elhokar]], [[Adolin]], Shallan, and her retinue, arrive in Kholinar in order to open the [[Oathgate]] and defend the city from the Fused. The group met at the shop of tailor named [[YohskaYokska]] and learned that the [[Aesudan|queen]] had been acting erratic due to the supposed influence of a dark spren. Due to the disruption of the entire chain of command, a new [[Azure|highmarshal]] of the Wall Guard assumed control, bringing some semblance of order to the city, and a strange group known as the [[Cult of Moments]] now ruled the city. While the conversation occurred, Shallan, through random acts to embarrass and injure herself, learned that the spren in Kholinar have take a strange appearance. The king later tasked Shallan, accompanied by Kaladin, to send a letter to the queen with the use of her Lightweaving abilities. Before sneaking into the palace, Shallan shared her Veil persona to her retinue, much to their shock. {{book ref|sa3|62}} Inside the palace, Veil discovered the royal guards were not acting like themselves and is soon stabbed by the captain when she demanded that she personally delivered Elhokar's letter to the queen. When the guards moved to dispose of her body, Veil pretended to be dead but slowly healed herself using stormlight. While playing dead, she noticed a strange black [[Sja-anat|strange black figure]] with glowing circles for eyes]] in a mirror that should have held her reflection. Veil is deposited in a waste room holding several corpses and sneaked out of the palace using Illumination to disguise herself. Still in shock from her near murder, she sent Pattern to retrieve Kaladin so they could return to the safehouse.{{book ref|sa3|63}}

After recovering from her experience in the palace, Shallan and her companions regroup in YohskaYokska's kitchen and discussed their next plan. Tasked with finding a way to infiltrate the Cult of Moments, Shallan, disguising herself as Veil, scrounged for information. During her exploration of the city, Veil encountered an urchin named [[Grund]] that had been abandoned because of his physical disfigurement. In exchange for information, Shallan gifted food to the boy and others willing to provide intel. As Veil began to doubt her actions taken to provide for the poor citizens in Kholinar, she encountered [[Wit]] retelling the story of [[Mishim]]. {{book ref|sa3|67}} Once finished, Wit led Veil to an inn and he complimented Shallan on her skills with [[Illumination]]. While talking, they discussed the meaning of power, eventually giving Shallan the advice she needed to infiltrate the [[Cult of Moments]]. After this, he left her with the bill for the food he ate, much to her displeasure.{{book ref|sa3|68}} Through the information she gathered, Shallan learned that a group known as the Cult of Moments, under the thrall of the [[Unmade]] [[Ashertmarn]], guard the Oathgate, and that the only way to join their ranks is to bring food to their grand feasts after receiving an invitation. Assuming the persona, Swiftspren, Shallan attempted to attract the Cult of Moments through displays of [[Illumination]] and philanthropy. Eventually, she received an invitation from the Cult of Moments after a grand heist at a local mansion. {{book ref|sa3|72}}{{book ref|sa3|74}}

Despite her charitable actions, Shallan unwittingly caused the death of Grund after the boy is attacked by the [[Grips]], a group that had been stealing the food given to him. {{book ref|sa3|80}} Following the murder of the urchin, Shallan is scarred by the experience and left revisiting traumatic memories from her past. In attempt to ease the pain, she shifted through several personas using Illumination in an attempt to search for a personality that could repair the damage she has habitually caused. She soon came to the conclusion that the past actions she took to aid others only left things worse in her wake. Huddled, in [[Muri|Muri]]'s]] abode, Shallan encountered Wit. Through his retelling of [[The Girl Who Looked Up]], Wit advised her to not regret her actions and accept herself if she wishes to take control of her personas. Shallan later regrouped with her companions, and Kaladin soon arrived with [[Azure|Highmarshal Azure]] and her army.{{book ref|sa3|82}}

While discussing their findings, Kholinar was later attacked by the Voidbringers and the enthralled soldiers of the city. Shallan, accompanied by Adolin, searched for the lingering presence of two of the Unmade at the Oathgate platform .{{book ref|sa3|83}}. On their way to the control building for the ancient fabrial, an undulating black mass blocked their path to the entrance. After finding her shardlbladeShardblade could not destroy the mass, Shallan touched it as she did with [[Re-Shephir]]. Inside the mass, she is overwhelmed by a Ashertmarn's voice as it attempted to convince her to engage in sensual self-indulgence. When Shallan is inundated by the various personalities she's created in the past, Wit spoke to her and advised her to take control of them rather than fear them. As she felt herself nearly being consumed, the black mass soon evaporated and Adolin proclaimed that Shallan defeated the Unmade despite her feeling as if she failed. As she entered the building, Shallan saw the black figure she observed previously when infiltrating the royal palace, and it identified itself as [[Sja-anat]]. The Unmade claimed they are not Shallan's enemy and warned her not to operate the Oathgate as it was compelled to corrupt the [[Oathgate spren|spren]]] of the platform so it would not function properly. {{book ref|sa3|84}}

In order to avoid being attacked by the deranged cultists, Shallan utilized the Oathgate to telporttransport Azure, Adolin, Kaladin, and herself along with their spren despite Sja-anat's warning. When they awakened, they found themselves in Shadesmar, which Azure grunted about due to her dislike for the strange realm.{{book ref|sa3|87}}{{expand}}
