"It was pressure from the factions I believe. I'm not entirely certain what they promised the Summoned in exchange for getting the caskets from Thorne. Probably influence, some trust, perhaps gold."
It didn't seem like any of them did it to truly hurt one another or out of some kind of violent urge. Perhaps one or two did, Istredd doesn't know everyone who was there at that time. But no one died during the conflict so it was probably more strategic.
"It could have been partly some pay back as people had just escaped Thorne. They may have wanted to strike at them through stealing."
Istredd doesn't blame them. He is above petty revenge but he can see how it would be compelling. They had been thrown into the dungeon and treated poorly and finally escaped. Why not do something to halt Thorne's climb back up to power through the Singularity? He can see how he might have volunteered for Thorne to gain more clout with them too.
