The Thrill as a red battle-haze

concept

The Thrill

thrill · battle-lust

A battle-lust the Alethi treat as normal. It sharpens, glorifies, and pushes a man to keep killing. Dalinar used to love it. He no longer does.
The Thrill: joy of the fight. Dalinar's is going quiet.
Role
The feeling Alethi war is built on. Dalinar's loss of it is one reason they call him old.
