Actually there is a suppletion in the paradigm, just a different one I hadn't spotted before:

where - whither - whence - when
there - thither - thence - then
here - hither - hence - now

Whither did 'hen' go?

Also, why does "here" have /i/ when "where" and "there" have /e/?

Actually, I guess the real question would be why "where" and "there" have /e/, since <eCe> is usually /i/.
