I just read book 14 yesterday, and something struck me: why the heck don't you need a Korlinium scabbard for the Sommerswerd when you visit Kaag? Barely 2 books after book 12, I somehow doubt the power of goodness of the sword of the sun wouldn't attract all the Darkspawn living in the city?

Maybe because only the Darklords can detect the power of the Sommerswerd? And they're all dead.
Or maybe it's because of all the fighting going on. What with all the Giaks and Drakkarim to kill, the Nadziranim aren't that bothered about the Hero of the Lastlands wandering about.
Or how about:
SPOILERS
Cadak wants Lone Wolf to get through to the citadel, so that he can kill him himself. After all, that's the whole reason Banedon was kidnapped in the first place.

EDIT: Or maybe only Helgedad was close enough to the Plane of Darkness to produce a similar effect when the Sommerswerd was unsheathed.

Lake of Blood???
That's just not right. Darn you Sun-Sword! Can I get the +8 if I leave it in the scabbard while I fight with it? I would also settle for a +6.

EDIT: Or maybe only Helgedad was close enough to the Plane of Darkness to produce a similar effect when the Sommerswerd was unsheathed. I'd go for that one. The Sommerswerd puts on quite a show when it's in the very heart of the Darklands, as I recall. I think that in Kaag, it was a combination of the sword not making itself so Gnaag-meltingly obvious, and goodly auras being less detectable in a less-evil place (insert metaphor about lights in the darkness and whatnot ). Hence why the scabbard was again needed in Ixia.
