Dimensional displacement makes the least sense of all the theories because it doesn't fit into the greater picture.
Personally there's exactly one set of facts and assumptions that fits most of what we know.
[] Comprehensive theory of SSS
Karak Dums rune of Valaya has been modified in a similar vein to the belt of the unshackled mountain, this is causing the dhar to burn as it tries to enter the Karak (waystone, but we can't tell the expedition this), in turn this is giving off massive amounts of heat which is being radiated into the surrounding territory, the Rune of Valaya as part of it's natural function probably works to stabilise reality with no further modifications needed. That would explain the bubble of different terrain.
Morghur being born to Dum Dwarves (maybe Boreks family) and given the rites of Valaya instead of being 'gaved' to the forest as he's always been in the past when in human hands has fundamentally changed his nature alongside what ever runic protections Karak Dums runemasters may have engaged in.
The Karak Dum Dwarves and this Morghur then utilise the fact that they have Morghur to attract beastmen to their Karak in the surrounding forests which have grown over time due to the extra heat given off by the Karaks dhar burning allowing it to expand beyond the normal woodland it was before. Morghurs status within the beastmen psyche means even if he's sane and not acting like normal they'd still follow him even whilst still being chaos worshippers.
So the shame is that Karak Dum has 'not allied' with the Beastmen who are still chaos worshipers being 'tricked' into helping fight off the chaos tribes surrounding Karak Dum.
-----------------
Missing from this is conjecture on what happened to the other mountains, tell me if you think there's any other holes. This is also quite literally the most ludicrously optimistic nonsense i've ever written and I doubt basically all of it because it's far far to convenient for us and feels like a load of wishful thinking.
