Shard Dragons from the monstrous arcanum, which is in the "reasonably safe to assume is canon" tier of quest canon.
Especially since shard dragons are confirmed to actually exist.

Finding out the truth here is not worth killing every one of us. We should go home.

Yeah, I don't even know what to say anymore, and have to go to sleep now. Just... at least we got Karak Vlag out of hell before this crazy bullshit happened. I fully expect to see the thread in flames when I wake up.

Why not? We know that golden age runes and shit made by the ancestor gods can get up to some shit: maybe some form of illusion rune was among the things lost.
My point though is that its not necessarily Morghur (and honestly theres enough evidence against it so far that I genuinely don't think it is Morghur).

BOREK! You come back here and explain yourself, old man!
If faced with an apparent contradiction between Borek on one hand, whom we've been traveling with for weeks and the Karaz Ankor has been planning with for years, and Allegedly Morghur on the other hand, whom we saw at a distance for ten minutes, it's probably the Alleged Morghur that isn't what it seems.
Also the evidence from the Waystone still sending energy to the Karaz Ankor, rather than sending Dhar or having been blown up.
I would reason in precisely the opposite direction: We know firsthand that Borek isn't a creature of Chaos and madness. Therefore, whatever tenderly embraces him (and doesn't cause mutations or screaming on the spot) is not Morghur-the-Corruptor as we know it.

Maybe it's Morhur but he isn't actually in the same place as the terrain and therefore it doesn't get affected?

Karag Dum is still part of the waystone network and that is continentally important. We should check to make sure what's going on on that front.
Is the sort of running a hand through someone's hair like Morghur did within the dwarven physical interaction playbook as a thing they do?

Holy Dum that was fast. Thank you.
We don't actually. The changeling is a thing and there are many many other ways to hide corruption.
Ok, I think what happened is that Morghur was killed by the high elves, and he was reborn. However, this time he was reborn in a dwarf body, as the dwarf version of a turnskin. Normally, he'd be doomed, but the Rites of Valaya were performed in time, which protected him from the mental/spiritual influence of the Chaos Gods, even though his body was still warped.
Note how he was affectionate to Borek. Morghur would be completely incapable of that. I suspect that he's Borek's cousin or uncle or another relative in the royal family.

We don't actually know this IC.
MY THEORY: The dwarfs knew they couldn't hold out against the endless hordes of chaos, so they thought of way to make chaos stop bothering them. In their desperation the runemasters tapped into the waystone network and used the energy to create an illusion. Mathilde can't see through it, because there are fundamental differences between runes and standart magic, so the "tells" that wizards can usually use to identify an illusion just aren't there and Mathilde just dosen't know what to look for when identifying an illusion created by runes. Cor-Dum is actually the illusion protecting Karak Dum and the name was chosen as a deliberate wordplay by the runemasters. Borek isn't insane for running into the forest, because the illusion was desinged so that the dwarfs of Karak Dum can see through it. It took him a moment but now he can see his completely intact home and is happily running toward it. That is the reason why the waystone network is still online and Borek isn't mutated or killed. No matter if Cor-Dum was bound by the dwarfs and used as some kind of guarddog or there was some kind of deal made, Borek would still be influenced by the mutating powers, but here nothing of the kind happens. It is the optimal defense, nobody bothers them apart from the occasional Kurgans that want to test their mettle against Cor-Dum and are killed by the thong of Karak Dum so that they can't reveal the secret behind their defense.

Right, and we didn't see Borek mutating into Chaos Spawn when he approached supposed Morghur. Whatever is it it's breaking reality as Mathilde senses it, but in wrong and less catastrophic way.
I probably should have said that earlier as another fact against Morghur being actually Morghur, but better late than never, eh.
To Dwarves it's very intimate, the sort of thing reserved for direct family, close friends, and lovers.
Less, though still higher than outside the Wastes.
Actually hot when a gust hits you, but the ambient temperature averages out to hot only by comparison.
Does seem somewhat possible he's a mutated dwarf then...

So @BoneyM, forgive me if this has already been discussed, or if Mathilde has any knowledge about this, but how raw is the magic sent through the waystones? Is it possible to send patterned magic - spells, from one "inlet" of the waystone network to affect the central nexus?
And could an immortal daemonic demi-god of corruption theoretically do that without necessarily corrupting the waystone stream with Dhar?
Because I swear to God, if Morghur is trying to hack The Rune of Azamar with Herdstone-Dum I'm gonna scream.
