==History==
=== Narak ===
Jaxlim was a Keeper of Songs, possibly the most important job in the family. She was not required to have any other job but learn and pass the knowledge, but she always sought to keep busy. She said working her hands kept her body strong, while going over songs worked her mind.{{book ref|sa4|45}}
She had trained both her daughters the songs, but Eshonai had given up and so she focused on Venli. Jaxlim was the one taking to the Five the option of finding warform and spoke on behalf of her daughter to support the research.{{book ref|sa4|45}}
Shortly after the listeners and the humans started to meet, her memory started to fail. At the beginning it was only forgetting some parts of the stanzas, something that had never happened before.{{book ref|sa4|52}} In the beginning, only Venli really knew about this, and Jaxlim started to send people to her for reciting the songs.{{book ref|sa4|52}}
It was in part her sickness what urged Venli to find and use warform. Because each form changes the mind somehow, they were hoping it would save her mother’s mind. On the other hand, Jaxlim seemed to be getting worse by the day, making her sickness obvious to everyone, and she agreed with Venli’s plan to try the new form.{{book ref|sa4|62}}
Eshonai was the one who accompanied her into the storm to try the form. The lifespren, however, seemed not to be interested on someone her age, she couldn’t attune the needed rhythms and was unable to transform. Jaxlim did enjoy the experience and was happy for a little while.{{book ref|sa4|68}}
But the sickness progressed fast. As it got worse, Jaxlim did feel sad and cried for her own loss. Venli was there by her side. {{book ref|sa4|73}} She would then suffer from episodes where she would believe Eshonai and Venli were young children.{{book ref|sa4|73}}
=== War of Reckoning (1167 - 1174)===
She could be seen in her shack on the outskirts of Narak tending to her [[shalebark]] gardens.{{book ref|wor|i|4}} She appeared to be senile, as she did not always recognize her daughter and sometimes seemed to hallucinate.{{book ref|wor|i|4}} Eshonai said that she had not heard wise words from her mother in years.{{book ref|wor|i|4}}
Jaxlim could sometimes remember some of the old songs.{{book ref|wor|i|4}} Eshonai asked her about the Listeners leaving the "dark home" and her mother sang a song to a [[Singer#Rhythms|Rhythm of Remembrance]] that revealed tidbits of Parshendi history.{{book ref|wor|i|4}} Eshonai's mother saved some maps of the former kingdom of [[Natanatan]] that Eshonai made in her youth, and she gave them to Eshonai.{{book ref|wor|i|4}}
She was rounded up with the Parshendi who refused to adopt [[Parshendi#Forms|Stormform]] when Eshonai began to take control of [[Narak]]. She escaped into the chasms with [[Thude]] and the rest of the dissenters.{{book ref|wor|i|11}}
=== After the “True Desolation” ===
After the Everstorm the listeners with whom Jaxlim had escaped with did manage to survive. And they hid on some chasms. When Venli returned to the remnants of the listeners, Jaxlim had lost all ability to recognize her daughter.{{book ref|row|115}} However, Venli held out hope that a Radiant bond could still heal her mother's mental afflictions.{{book ref|row|115}}

=== Songs ===
{{quote
|“Daring was the challenge made,” Mother sang, “when the Last Legion abandoned thought and power in exchange for freedom. They risked forgetting all. And so songs they composed, a hundred stories to tell, to remember. I tell them to you, and you will tell them to your children, until the forms are again discovered.”
}}
The old songs recounted by Jaxlim include information about the Parshendi that is not widely known. According to her songs, the Listeners, then known as the [[Last Legion]], were warriors who were sent to fight in a shattered nation. The people were not free, because the [[Regal|Forms of Power]] had been forced upon them, bending them to the will of their gods. During a storm, the Last Legion decided to abandon the dark home and adopt a form that would allow them to escape the influence of the gods. They knew this form would cause them to lose most of their mental faculties, so they composed songs to try and preserve their history. They decided to spread out into small tribes to avoid conflict.{{book ref|wor|i|4}}
