===The Thrill=== <!--T:6-->
The ''' Thrill''' is the term used to describe the effect of Nergaoul's presence on people. It manifests as a strong competitive urge accompanied by increased focus and the ability to ignore things like pain or moral concerns that might otherwise distract from the goal of victory. This effect can be felt during any competition, whether violent or non-violent, although it is much more keen during battle{{book ref|sa1|12}}, where it has been described as a sense of bloodlust{{book ref|sa3|115}} and an enjoyment and longing for war.{{book ref|sa1|28}} It is a phenomenon experienced by many on Roshar, most of whom are not aware of its Unmade origin.

It appears that those who've experienced the Thrill could somehow sense when someone else is embracing it, as [[Adolin]] was able to sense it in [[Eshonai]]{{book ref|sa2|84}} and [[Dalinar]] in [[Kalanor]].{{book ref|sa3|26}}

===In Jah Keved=== <!--T:17-->
Nergaoul moved towards [[Jah Keved]] while the country was recovering from a series of assassinations that killed [[Hanavanar|King [[Hanavanar]] and many Veden Highprinces. It is believed that the Unmade's presence greatly worsened the civil war that broke out due to the succession crisis, causing much destruction until the war ended with [[Valam]]'s victory.

King [[Taravangian]] of [[Kharbranth]], the one ultimately responsible for the assassinations, and who shortly succeeded [[Valam]] and obtained Jah Keved as his second kingdom, had been studying the various Unmade and noticed Nergaoul's influence in the civil war, but decided to focus his efforts on the Unmade called [[Moelach]] instead.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
