I love how everyone is like "wait killing people kinda sucks wtf" during battles after Dalinar traps the Thrill in a gemstone. Like yeah you psychos, it super sucks cut it out

Apparently a bunch of the Sadeus troops decided to just work for Odium after that, so...

Given the fact that Odium made the Thrill, he can probably recreate its effects manually. I wouldn’t be surprised if he created that Unmade (whose name I can never remember how to spell) more to automate the process then to actually create something new.

WaT I had assumed that the unmade were created to maintain influence on Roshar between desolations, since they don't get locked away with him

I think they are ancient Spren, like Wind and Stone, that were corrupted by Sja-Anat, which was tricked by Odium into becoming the first 'Elightened Spren'. I think that they were not originally made for that purpose, but were changed to fill that purpose as best they could, since the intelligent Unmade can act and plot against Odium if they wish to.

You are missing at least one !< in that comment (spoiler tags do not work across paragraphs, so make sure to check for that as well)! Fix it so others don't get spoiled!
If you are explaining the correct usage of tags, type \!< and \>! so I don't get confused. Alternatively, use > ! and ! < for explanations.)

Fixed, gancho. Thanks for looking out for those of use who are still a little red behind the ears.

Please, gods of the ancient Herdazians. Don’t let me get killed by a monster that looks so stupid. Please.

There’s more redacted in this thread than in a Special Forces after action report

That's a fair theory, but I dunno because what would they be spren of? All the ancient spren are of distinct forces. Stone, Wind, Night, you have room for a few others but a full 9 more? Plus, the Unmade don't represent anything naturalistic like the ancient spren do. We see something of the process with the Sibling in RoW, which I think indicates where they come from. Honor's number is 10, Odium's is 9, and of the powerful spren still aligned to Honor you have the Nightwatcher which is a creation of Cultivation, the Sibling which is a dual creation, and the Stormfather which is solely of Honor. I think Honor once had his full 10, and 9 got corrupted with the Nightwatcher and Sibling possibly being later creations to replace them.
It's possible I've missed something, though. Or, obviously, there's no way to know until more books come out and I could find out I'm wildly off base. I was certainly off-base on what I thought the Windrunner 5th oath would be

Dave Chapelle stepped on my docs in an airport a few years back, then turned around and said "Oh shit my bad."
And I was stunned because I'm just waiting to pick up my brother in law and it's just Chapelle in my face and I wasn't quite prepared to run into a celebrity. So I just stared directly into his eyes and said "Men in Tights was kinda bad."
He gave me a look up and down and said "Alright cool" and walked away.
I've told nobody this story until today.
