After [[Navani Kholin]] provides the key to the Dawnchant that she recovers through [[Dalinar's visions]], scholars in the monastery, including Ellista, begin to decode the old texts that they had in their possession. Ellista is glad to have Navani's information, but refuses to believe that the visions were real.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}

The coming of the Everstorm distracts many ardents from their translation work, but Ellista persists.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}} She believes that she has found evidence that Dawnchant was once used as a unified written language across ancient Roshar, supporting a theory posited by [[Jasnah Kholin]] in ''[[Relic and Monument]]''. She vehemently disagrees with earlier arguments (including those made by [[Fiksin]]) that written Dawnchant texts all originated in a single region. Through her studies, she has also been able to determine that the cataclysmic [[Desolation]]s caused Dawnchant to fall into disuse. Individual nations began to use the Dawnchant to phonetically record their spoken language, and later developed their own glyphs, abandoning Dawnchant altogether.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}
