Also, I'm looking forward to Thorn being forcibly brought to the Ulfing lords before whom he will demand to see Lachrandir. They'll insist he tell them why, which he knows is suicide, but will do so anyway, every last bitter bit of truth, which will of course raise the stakes of competition between the brothers, for each will suddenly realize just how ambitious and ruthless his siblings is in regard to himself. At least, that seems like a pretty cool scenario to me.
And THEN they can kill him.
