Gangnah attended the feast celebrating the signing of the peace treaty between the Alethi and the Parshendi.[1] She, Varnali, and Klade remained behind in the wake of Szeth's assassination of the Alethi king. She confessed her responsibility for Gavilar's death to Brightlady Jasnah, but offered no explanation beyond that they were attempting to avoid the return of their gods. Gangnah and the other two were hanged for their crime.[1]
