Odium's offer to remove your pain is mostly about divesting yourself of responsibility for the things you've done. Dalinar's rejection of Odium was about him taking responsibility for the terrible things he'd done, for example. Amaram and Mr T were good targets for Odium because they've both done things "for the greater good" that they feel enormously guilty about. Kaladin has almost exactly the opposite problem and to my mind is the worst possible target for Odium

Moash strikes me as more of a pre-seeded end-of-book boss like Szeth was in WoR or Amaram was in OB, not an end-of-series boss. Maybe the kind of person Kaladin needs to deal with before he can swear an Ideal, for example. Having Moash be a Final Boss seems a little Kaladin-centric for that kind of conflict. I like the idea of it being a Herald, though, though I think Taln is maybe the least likely of them. I don't see it being Nale either, especially as it seems like things are shaking out to have both sides with a coalition of humans and parshmen, and Nale's already-shaky loyalty to Odium will be tested. @dantlee proposed Ishar which, especially as we get more information about the Heralds personally, could be a very strong choice.

Wow thanks for the responses. Does that mean most/all Radiants are immune to the Thrill if the Thrill hasn't "claimed" them in the same sort of way it claimed Dalinar? None of the Radiants at Theylan Field seem to notice, and neither does Adolin (who depending on where you come down on that argument is a proto-spren-necromancer and potential Radiant himself. Indeed, if a spren can lay claim to someone in this way, that might explain why Adolin is pretty much the only non-Radiant Kholin, because of his unusual relationship to his sword. But this is a different topic). I doubt this is the last we've seen of Nergaoul, so I'm interested to see where this goes

In that case, could someone be so immune to the temptations of the Revel that they could walk right into the Oathgate in Alethkar and just sort of wonder what everyone is up to? (If such a person existed it'd have to be Jasnah.) To me, feeling then resisting or turning away the Thrill is substantively different than being totally ignorant of it entirely. And the Thrill is more than just killing, its competitiveness. Kaladin doesn't seem to have much of a concept of competition for competition's sake, sure, but does that mean he's totally devoid of that feeling? And Adolin doesn't fall into the whole Dalinar thing of "yeah I'm killing Alethi oh wait I'm killing Alethi", he too just seems to be totally ignorant of a force that is enormously present at that particular location. So ignorant that he can take a moment to ponder over what he's doing. Something isn't adding up for me.

I've done some hunting but there's something about the Thrill I don't understand. We know that the Thrill isn't genetic but instead has to do with the location of Nergaoul. That's probably recursive; Alethela was designated to train soldiers, so Nergaoul got to do his thing, so the Alethi liked to fight more. I understand Kaladin is immune to the thrill: but I'm not clear on why. His immunity seems to extend to his squires, none of whom display the affects of the Thrill so far as we can tell. Seems to me that if you were to ask Kaladin "do you feel the Thrill?" he'd be like "what?" Is it a function of Windrunning? Being Radiant doesn't seem to be mutually exclusive from feeling the Thrill and frankly I don't know why it would be. The Unmade's aura effects seem to behave differently (Ashertmarn's temptation is highly localized and intense, Moelach's deathrattles are widespread but inconsistent, and Re-Shephir's presence could be felt by some but not by others). Also, despite the Nergaoul taking over Sadeas' army, Adolin doesn't seem to feel the Thrill at all at Theylan Field, despite having admitted in WoK that he does feel it. He misses like the first half of the battle, sure, but doesn't feel it or seem to notice that its missing. I could keep rambling about weirdness that I keep noticing about the Thrill (Szeth, for example, also doesn't seem to feel it) but the bottom line is there seems to be something I'm missing regarding how it works and who feels it and who doesn't. Also, yes this is my first post. Been lurking for a while though.
