Arguably, his first move was sending an envoy to confirm his suspicions. A small move, but an important action nonetheless.

Linsey said she would make it if she had time - so we should (since she had time for a quest chain, she very well had time for a single NPC!)

I take it the Mad King himself doesn't live there.
I would disagree, but perhaps a different part of the Underworld than the Hall of Judgement (thus an unexplored portion) - as I doubt that what we see is the whole Underworld (and same goes for the Fissure of Woe).

We know Ice King Frozenwind works for Grenth. Mad King Thorn seems to do so as well, but is less knowledegable than Ice King Frozenwind

His next move would be what comes after the quest, I would have to say. But the spirit lord line is interesting. We know for sure he is a spirit now, and not some undead or construct. I still wonder if the Mad King Thorn is an Envoy - or perhaps more along the lines of Ice King Frozenwind.

Except the Steward also refers to Thorn as his "undead liege" when he gives you the quest. So which do we take as gospel, given that the same NPC uses both terms when talking about the Mad King?

He could of been reffering to the term undead rather than the group that Guild Wars uses. Technically Thorn is an incorporeal undead.

Unless she felt the quest chain was a higher priority, and didn't have time to fit the Teller of Tales in.

I'm not sure - I get the impression that he's a resident of the UW without being on Grenth's metaphorical payroll. He can be friends with one of Grenth's vassals without being one himself, after all.

The fact that his envoys get free passage does suggest that whatever his status is, though, he's at least on friendly-ish terms with Grenth.
