The Thrill

The Thrill is a heady euphoria described differently given the situation in which a combatant is involved. It is a feeling experienced by an individual and, likely, each individual's interpretation of it is unique.

Men didn't often speak of the Thrill, the joy and lust for battle. It was a private thing.

Seemingly, The Thrill 'sings' within the combatant's mind and provides him with focus and a sense of glory, thereby affording him the internal confidence to persevere, even in the face of deadly adversarial conflict.

Knights Radiant are immune to the Thrill's effects, and are often racked with feelings of disgust and nausea if it starts to come upon them.

The Thrill, as always, is fleeting once battle itself has ended. A dull sense of nothingness follows. Also, pain from injury surges as the Thrill fades.

Until Taravangian's takeover of Jah Keved, it seemed as if the Thrill was largely focused in Alethkar. Now, it appears to be moving westward, into Jah Keved and beyond.
