'''Ishnah''' is an [[Alethi]] spy recruited by [[Shallan]] to train her guards in the art of espionage.
== History ==
Ishnah worked as an assistant{{book ref|sa3|51}} in House [[Hamaradin]]'s spy network, where she was trained in several useful espionage techniques. Brightlady Hamaradin was eventually assassinated after vexing the [[Ghostbloods]], and when her spies were named suspects Ishnah fled. She eventually came to work for a gang of petty thieves in Urithiru's underground.{{book ref|sa3|40}} She crossed paths with Veil, in a tavern in [[All's Alley]], where Shallan revealed herself to be a member of the Ghostbloods.{{book ref|sa3|18}} With a desire to use her training for something greater, Ishnah sought out Veil in hopes of joining the secret society herself.{{book ref|sa3|25}} After being initially turned her away, Ishnah began spying on Veil, hoping to impress the woman with her skills. Shallan eventually caught her spying and the two spoke at greater length of Ishnah's past experience and motivations. Seeing the several uses for the woman, Shallan offered her the opportunity to train her men, and Ishnah accepted.{{book ref|sa3|40}}

| Espionage is about the careful gathering of information. Your task is to observe, but to not be observed. You must be likable enough that people talk to you, but not so interesting that they remember you.

== Relationships ==
Ishnah respects Shallan's position among the Ghostbloods, and though she risks much to join Shallan, the extent of her loyalties are unknown. She is somewhat of a mentor figure for Vathah, having taken him under her wing more so than any of Shallan's other guards.
