This update definitely needs work, but I'm not certain I have the skillset to make it better--in particular, cutting down the section on the occupation of Urithiru. Consider it a beginning step.

Following the battle, Venli remained on the Thaylen ships. Upon hearing the former [[Parshmen]] note that they have no idea who their people are, she decided to tell them the real story of the [[listener]]s.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
=== Urithiru ===
Venli was brought along with [[Raboniel]] and a scouting troop of ''makay-im'' during the invasion of [[Urithiru]] to serve as her Voice. Upon the initial seizure, she was attacked by a human solder, and killed him in a panic. Afterwards, both she and Timbre attuned the [[Rhythm|Lost]], although Raboniel merely admonished her to carry a knife in the future.{{book ref|sa4|37}}
While she was the Voice of Raboniel, Venli regularly reported to [[Leshwi]]. Raboniel was aware of this, and offered to have someone deliver the reports for her in order to save time.<sup>''[[Help:Cite|[citation needed]]]''<!----></sup>
After learning that [[secretspren]] and [[chaosspren]] didn't work, she realized that she could practice her powers as a Willshaper without being caught, and did so in a secluded corner of the tower.{{book ref|sa4|67}}
After discovering that [[Rlain]] was still alive, she went to Raboniel to request his freedom. Before she could do so, though, [[Mraize]] entered the room with [[Lift]] in a cage, giving her to Raboniel as a gift in exchange for access to the Oathgates. Venli, discomforted by this, left to fetch Rlain. On her way there, she attempted to swear the Second Ideal of the Willshapers, swearing to free those in bondage, but [[Cultivation]] did not accept them. Upon further reflection, she realized that she couldn't truly swear such an Ideal after having just seen a human child in a cage.{{book ref|sa4|60}}
Upon hearing that [[Kaladin]] was free and in the tower, she went to Leshwi to plead protection for [[Lirin]] and [[Hesina]], as both Venli and Leshwi knew that the [[Pursuer]] wouldn't hesitate to use them in a bid to lure him into a fight. Leshwi granted this request, and Venli used this opportunity to bring Lirin to tend the unconscious Radiants. While visiting them with Rlain, [[Dabbid]] arrived, telling the four that Kaladin was asleep and wasn't waking up. Venli realized that Lift would likely be able to heal him, and used Cohesion to free her, hoping that the Fused would assume that a human Stoneward had survived. Instead of telling Rlain, Lirin, and Hesina that she was a Surgebinder, though, she claimed to have a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa4|83}}
While serving as an interpreter between Raboniel and [[Regals]] coming to deliver reports, Raboniel and Venli discuss the listeners. Venli admits shame at being the one directly responsible for her people's downfall, asking Raboniel why they must fight. Raboniel commends her on her service, and gives her a writ of authority and a map showing a settlement of listeners on the Shattered Plains. Venli realizes that this might be the group that had refused stormform before the [[Battle of Narak]], and when Rlain finds her crying, she tells him the entire story of what she did. Rlain attunes Betrayal, a rhythm with which she agrees, and he says that they should attempt to save the Radiants before seeking out the other listeners. She disagrees with this, and tells [[Dul]] and [[Mazish]] that it's time to leave.{{book ref|sa4|96}}
As Venli waits with Dul and Mazish for an Oathgate transfer to Kholinar, Timbre expresses disappointment that Venli is abandoning the Radiants. Ignoring this, Venli walks to the front of the line to find out what's taking so long, and discovers that [[Vyre]] has left to meet with Raboniel, taking with him the only Blade that the Fused have that's capable of working the Oathgates. Venli moves everyone inside and decides to smuggle Kaladin and his family out with herself, Dul, and Mazish. They agree that it's a good idea, so they head for the atrium, where they find Kaladin fighting the Pursuer. Although Kaladin forces Lezian to retreat, Vyre drops [[Teft]]'s corpse on him, and Venli attunes the Lost as he grieves. The Pursuer attacks him again, and after killing him, Kaladin heads toward Venli. She fears that he's coming for her, but instead, he attacks the shanay-im holding his father.
Venli watches as the humans desperately defend the Radiants against the Pursuer's troops, and at Timbre's urging, reveals her status as a Radiant to Leshwi. Contrary to Venli's expectations, she's overjoyed, and asks Venli if Timbre knows of an honorspren named Riah. Venli relays the message that most of the old spren were killed in the Recreance, but despite this, the fact that the spren have forgiven the singers is enough to convince Leshwi that the Radiants must be protected, and she joins the humans in fighting Lezian's troops.{{book ref|sa4|107}}{{book ref|sa4|109}} During the fighting, Rlain arrives in the atrium, setting up a triage in the aftermath of the battle. He takes command, telling the group that they should head for an Oathgate on the misconception that Venli has a Blade. She quickly disabuses him of this notion, and while he's contemplating what to do, Kaladin arrives and activates the Oathgate to the Shattered Plains for them.{{book ref|sa4|109}}{{book ref|sa4|114}}
After leaving the tower, Venli finds the location of the listener settlement on the map, finding that [[Thude]] and Jaxlim, among others, are still alive. Although they treat Venli with suspicion, and in some cases, outright hostility, they allow her to see her mother, and she brings a Reacher in the hope that it'll heal her mind. Just when she's about to lose hope, Jaxlim recognizes Venli, and Cultivation finally accepts her Words.{{book ref|sa4|115}}
