'''Thorn''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Hand Cannon]] and one of the [[Weapons of Sorrow]]. It is most likely named after the thorn-like spikes on it. The weapon is sleek, dark black, with many spikes or "thorns" adorning the sides, facing the front of the weapon. The projectiles shot from it also resemble giant daggers or "thorns". It was acquired via the Exotic [[bounty]], "[[A Light in the Dark]]". Thorn returned to ''[[Destiny 2]]'' during ''[[Season of the Drifter]]'' and was acquired through a hidden [[Quest]], “[[Independent Study]]”. As of ''[[Beyond Light]]'' it is only acquirable through the [[Monument To Lost Lights]].

After Dredgen Yor's fall, cleansed replicas of the Thorn were created by the [[Shadows of Yor]], a group of Guardians who idolize the fallen Guardian. Their activity raised enough concern for [[Shin Malphur]], Yor's killer, to take up arms against the Shadows. A year after the Red War, a Shadow of Yor known as [[Callum Sol]] was found and killed by Shin as an example made to warn the other Dredgens. [[The Guardian|The Young Wolf]] would find the spot of the Shadow's final death, retrieving weapon parts from his remains for [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] to utilize to create a new replacement for Thorn known as [[Malfeasance]].

It is later revealed that Shin's killing of Callum Sol was in fact a trap to bait Guardians that could not resist their temptations of the Darkness, and that Shin Malphur is actually a member of the Shadows of Yor himself. Having taken upon himself to prevent a whole generation of Guardians from following in Yor's footsteps, Shin (under the identity of Zyre Orsa) founded the Shadows along with [[Teben Grey]], [[Zana Maas]], [[Jonah Pavic]], [[Braga Yasuul]] and Callum Sol as a means to uncover potential Lightbearers going rogue after participating in the Drifter's [[Gambit]] and dissuade them from falling into temptation. They would also look for a Guardian capable of resisting their temptations; which they would find with [[the Young Wolf]] after they killed [[Enkaar, the Anointed]], an infamous [[Hive]] weapon master who crafted the original blueprint of the Weapons of Sorrow, and reforged a broken copy of Thorn without succumbing to its corruption.

Augmented through dark practices, Thorn was once a hero's weapon. Its jagged frame hints at a sinister truth: a powerful connection to the unutterable sorceries of the Hive.

'''"TO RENDER ONE'S ENEMIES IS TO SEE THEM NOT AS EQUALS, BUT OBJECTS—HOLLOW OF SPIRIT AND MEANING." —13TH UNDERSTANDING, 7TH BOOK OF SORROW'''
----
"The [[Weapons of Sorrow]] are not the endgame, but a road map. Each evolution, every advance in the delivery of pain and the mastery of destruction feeds the Hive's hateful weapons research. They will map every scream, harness every aggression, until they understand every method by which to ravage the hearts, minds, and flesh of man. And in doing so, they will turn us against ourselves—feeding our lust, our greed, our fear, until we become a threat unto ourselves like none we could imagine. So, wield these, angry reaper. Strive to know the darkness in your own heart. Walk in the shadows of fallen heroes. And know that you are an enemy of hope."
