===In Alethkar===
The Thrill caused Alethkar to become a more warlike nation. Most Alethi soldiers, lighteyed or not, felt the Thrill to some degree. Most notably, it was used heavily and quite effectively by the Alethi general and Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]] back when he fought battles for his brother [[Gavilar Kholin|Gavilar]], who wanted to unify Alethkar under his own rule. Dalinar's Thrill-driven ferocity in combat earned him a great reputation within Alethkar and infamy elsewhere. People started calling him the '''Blackthorn''' after the Thrill helped him endure getting pierced by several black arrows during a failed assassination attempt.{{book ref|sa3|3}}
Getting help from an Unmade came at a cost. At one point, the Thrill consumed Dalinar to the point that he wanted to keep fighting even after winning a battle and almost attacked Gavilar.{{book ref|sa3|26}} Later on, surrendering himself to a vengeful rage stoked by the Thrill, he ordered the slaughter of everyone in the rebelling city of [[Rathalas]], which led to the death of his own wife [[Evi]].{{book ref|sa3|76}}
Other notable Alethi who embraced the Thrill at some point in their lives were Dalinar's son [[Adolin]], the Highprince [[Kalanor]], and the Highprince [[Torol Sadeas]].
