There were several elements of the plan. One, as one of his [[Unmade]], [[Nergaoul]], was still free, Odium sent him to [[Alethkar]] to faciliate the [[Thrill]] among the Alethi. Over the centuries, the battle-rage brought about by Nergaoul became normal, and even desirable for the Alethi men, which would later allow Odium to use it to control them.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Moreover, the Thrill allowed Odium to groom a champion whom he could later put in command of his armies and use to release himself. In the final decades of the [[Era of Solitude]], such a potential champion appeared in the form of [[Dalinar Kholin]]. Odium focused on him to ensure he had as many hooks in him as possible.{{book ref|sa3|118}}
 
Odium also focused on the [[listener]]s, a group of [[singers]] who denied him some centuries prior. On the day of a treaty between them and the Alethi, Odium used one of his [[voidspren]] to lead them to buy an assassin, [[Szeth]], which came in handy when [[Eshonai]], found out that the Alethi king, [[Gavilar Kholin]], intended to release the very gods the listerslisteners had once fled. Whether Gavilar's plan was inspired by Odium or just a happy coincidence, it was certainly useful, as it pushed the listeners to assassinate him, leading to the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} The War brought tremendous losses to the listeners, until the idea of assuming a form of power grew appealing to them.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} Odium then used the [[stormform]] and the change of personality it brought in Eshonai to persuade the listeners to summon the [[Everstorm]], kickstaringkickstarting the True Desolation.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
