I seem to be getting a completely different vibe from the story from nearly everyone else.
Thancred managed to physically reform after being spirited farther away than Y'shtola and seemingly without any external aid. He can't use aether because of his trip through the lifestream; however, he may have heard Y'shtola's comment about seeing the Warrior of Darkness' (WoD) unusual aether. Knowing that Y'shtola is actively viewing aether, what if he is capable of using aether, but just hiding it? Before the WoD and party retreated, did his comments to Thancred suggest that the two met before? None of this means anything, unless Thancred was possessed by an Ascian! Again! Okay, maybe not.
As for Y'sh, I'm not so much under the impression that Matoya will sacrfice herself to save Y'shtola. I sense that Y'sh will eventually start consuming babies to gain their vital essence and extend her life. She'll justify it in claiming that her sight into the aether has made her aware of a threat that no one else can comprehend, and she must extend her life at all costs to vanquish that threat. Then she will be the main "villain" of the next story arc.
