I like that thought. Since we are informed by Nazh that spren fishing is illegal in at least one place, and Dai-Gonarthis is referred to as the Black Fisher...could the "fish" terms be connected, and be of more than passing importance?

Curse you, Arcanum, destroyer of pet theories! Ah, well...good to know.

Regarding the I am Unity/WE KILLED YOU bit. The reason I thought that Unity was Adonalsium rather than Honor when I read that scene has to do with a Dalinar and Hoid conversation in Way of Kings. Chapter 54, Gibletish: ...Wit said, then looked directly at him. “Adonalsium.” Dalinar frowned more deeply. “What?” Wit searched his face. “Have you ever heard the term, Dalinar?” “Ado … what?” “Nothing,” Wit said. Why would Hoid ask a random person about a pre-shattering term without some particular reason?

I'm starting to think this is Taln speaking. When Kalak spoke of "that place of pain and fire" and "The flesh burning. The fires. The pain over and over and over..." initially I took this to mean that the Heralds finally broke because they could no longer endure repeated torture at the hands of Odium. That reeks too much of Odium being sadism incarnate. Sadism alone doesn't seem to mesh well with the nuances of the meaning of odium. Rather than Kalak dreading becoming once again the recipient of endless pain, I think instead he dreaded once more becoming a person who must mete out endless pain. What is the most loathsome thing one can do to someone sworn to protect others? Twist the oath so that, in order to uphold it, one must commit terrible atrocities against a small number in order to protect the greater number.
