Actually, I think this can be explained by merging parts of a few theories together, with a bit of new material for mortar.
[] THEORY: The specifics are hazy, but this is a known contingency plan that Borek is entirely aware of, but hoped hadn't been enacted. The result breaks all Dawi notions of acceptability, but Karak Dum survives in some capacity and continues to inflict attrition on every local and visiting Chaos force that want to take a swing at them, so it is considered a lesser evil by the pragmatic Karak Dum. From their extensive study of Chaos, they had previously figured out how to deliberately induce Morghur's reincarnation into a specific body, even that of a dwarf. To contain and control Morghur after his induced reincarnation, the Dwarves of Karag Dum did something to burn away the taint of Chaos, much as your Belt of the Unshackled Mountain does, but on a far grander scale. Burning out the taint of a demigod named "the Corruptor" is likely why there's a desert and fewer mountains here. The forest was created by the purified Morghur, and the beastmen were attracted to serve him as they are inherently bound to do. The rulers of Karag Dum would not force such a fate onto any of their subjects, so this "Morghur" was likely a member of the royal clan who was pre-selected in case this contingency needed to be activated, and was personally known and loved by Borek, explaining the greeting and his reaction to it.
This is now my preferred theory, incidentally - going to go back and edit it into my votepost.

Now that you mention it, this does mean that Mathilde, the Intrigue 25 LM Grey Wizard, had one pulled over her by a dwarf.

I note that you don't deny that it exists, though.
Are you even a Wizard if you've never flirted with abomination?

@Garlak has me convinced
But also
[x] THEORY: I think I still owe Borek like 1800 gold.

I really have a hard time imagining the whole scene of Borek walking to Morghur. Here's why:
We go to the edge of a crater and that's the first time we see something that's being described as a "mountain" (as opposed to hill or rock or rugged fortress). That means that the crater is either masssively wide or really really steep.
We can see Cor-Dum bleating at said mountain (or at us?), but we can not clearly see his fellow bleating beastmen.
Does that mean that Cor-Dum is the only living being that's in the desert area instead of the forest and that he happens to be on our sode of the mountain/forest area?
Or does it mean that Cor-Dum, with his >3 meters, is taller than the (tiny?) trees?
Borek walks (without running) to Cor-Dum. Mathilde stands there dumbfounded while a few Rangers trickle in to ask what the fuck. Borek reaches Cor-Dum. How long did this take? In rough order of magnitude numbers. Because from an elevation a mile doesn't look like far, but walking that distance still takes longer than I'd imagine Mathilde to stand around saying "I don't know" repeatedly.
How far have Borek and Cor-Dum gotten while holding hands walking towards the forest? Did they pull some comic/western trick of disappearing into the horizon in less than a song's time? Because, well, we have a Shadowsteed.
Oh, and you didn't answer my question about how Karak Dum (or what's left of it) looks when compared to a normal mountain and/or a Dawi-worked Karag.

karag dum was already a waystone. the odd thing is that it is still working as one, and is therefore not corrupted.
Don't the runefang's have chaos purification effects?

what does that have to do with the price of silk in karak 8 peaks?

At this point, damn near anything's possible. I wouldn't say that it's likely- we didn't notice any magic being worked on him, nobody else was affected by any such impulse, etc- but it could have happened.

But it could be EVEN MORE ENTERTAINING!!!
Using magic to bind an abomination that exists only to kill into your service would be-
(Glances at Mathilde's notes on Apparition-binding.)
Ah! Well, nevertheless.

If you have a runefang, you can use it to cut the silk and then sell it as 'guaranteed corruption free'?
Yes.
Asking me for the time elapsed is just asking me for the distance in a slightly different way. You don't have to like the answer, but that doesn't mean you should keep asking until you get a different one. And it's not like Mathilde had any other important appointments that would take precedence over watching Borek marching to meet a demigod.
I think that got eaten when I was trying to stitch together different replies. Apart from the entrance, which would be below the treeline, Dwarves prefer to maintain a mountain's natural beauty.

Also, speaking of Horstmann and studying Dhar, this bit got overshadowed by the whole Gotrek thing earlier:
So I'm quite curious what he's going to make of all of this. Perhaps seeing Morghur defending Karag Dum will be a formative experience for the fella.
Also, speaking of Horstmann and studying Dhar, this bit got overshadowed by the whole Gotrek thing earlier:
But it implies that Egrimm always always questioned Dhar's inherent unnaturalness and malevolence, since he doesn't seem to be including himself among those who thought it necessarily came from Chaos or malevolence.

To be fair, whether the abomination in question is Chaos-free (Apparitions), Chaos-tainted (Beastmen), or literally made of Chaos (Daemons) seems pretty relevant.

I'm fairly certain they don't outside of the effects of being magical weapons, which would do more against Daemons than regular steel. They're no Relic Blades, that's for certain.
