Notes

• She is mentioned in Meet the Character - Lady Thorn.
• Several letters are addressed to her: Architectural Survey Summary Report and A Daedric Proposal.

Bugs

• If you move her towards the entrance during combat, Lady Thorn may stop moving, talking and attacking entirely, simply hovering in place. If you bring her health down to zero in this state, she will not die. At this point, the battle is unwinnable and the instance has been softlocked, as Lady Thorn cannot kill any members of your group, and you cannot kill her. ^?
