As to an inquest, I think the Ulfings are sophisticated enough to go through some sort of basic inquest for the sake of at least the appearance of justice; after all, Lord Caranthir could come calling asking for an explanation before the battle begins, and the Ulfings will not want to be without an answer. Of course, I don't care to see that get drawn out into some months long posting chore...
One of these days I will learn what those words mean...

It was because it is so near the end that I thought we could discuss what we felt was needed to do in the few posts that remain with the aim of simplifying rather than complicating.

The inquest need not be a chore for anyone particularly, it could be as little as a reference in the funeral post - " inquiries had been made but it seemed the exact circumstancees of Lachrandir's death would remain a mystery" (depened on what happens to the Borrim - eg if they die and their bodies are found they would be recognised as the people who had spoken to L. It certainly doesn't need to be played out.
