Tyra is pleased to have a visitor. She is not pleased that you're here to talk about a DIY "build-your-own-Thorn" project. "I won't lecture you," she says, "but I do hope that you know exactly what sort of misdirected selfishness and reprehensible cruelty this gun symbolizes. A Young Wolf of the Iron Lords would not carry this gun.

"That said. The provenance of the original Thorn has been vigorously debated. We have incomplete texts which speak of a so-called 'hated path.' One must 'bathe their Light in horrors,' one must 'feed the weapon with death,' one must maintain their Light while 'binding a sickness' to the weapon itself… Hive heresy, all of it. I advise you speak to Ikora about this if you have further questions."
