Vek and Kath both mean failure. Vek seems to mean someone failed a task while Kath is the person/thing is a failure. Kreath (Dark/Shadow) The use of Roake Pthen seem to refer to a subsect or division of dragonkin/dragon. I have seen the dark universe yawning, where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.

Ulthven Kreath is the name of the temple. When you want to revisit temple, game asks "return to Ulthven Kreath" Edited*

Also during the fight, when hallucinations hit, you can also see wallbeast/Nexus hands coming from the ground. Is it possible that nexus is partly the same corruption or is it just only hallucination


Or it's possible that the Nexus creature is also an avatar of Xau-Tak, and what V referred to back in Heroes Welcome...

While it's interesting speculation, I don't think the visions themselves are relevant. To the best of my knowledge they are the same as if you equip a weapon with the hallucinogenic perk. However, I haven't actually played in a long time and I fully accept the possibility that I'm wrong. I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend to be one of those deaf-mutes

Taking from a real life mystery and the events depicted, I think Roake draws from the mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke colonists. As such, I think a rough translation of Roake would be 'missing' or 'taken' while Roakin would be 'the missing/taken dragonkin' (the strange Dragonkin depicted being burned by Dragonkin breath in the mural.

Also given the events depicted, I can think of two points in time when they happened.

1. When they were trying to flee into the Abyss to escape the elder gods (prior to being bound).
2. After being bound and as an attempt to break said binding.

Regardless, they seem to have created (maybe the ritual turned Kranon into Xau-Tak) or at least disturbed Xau-Tak, and Xau proceded to alter the Dragonkin it caught in some way (much like it has done with the Mwanu and Rabid Jack).

Someone else posted the theory that this is actually the celestial dragons which is why they are warped. I have seen the dark universe yawning, where the black planets roll without aim;

1. Our player specifically says that they are odd looking Dragonkin, not dragons.
2. The celestial dragons were the result of white dragon eggs taken from the QBD and exposed to the energies of the Abyss at Dragontooth island. We also know of no attempt by the kin to annihilate any celestial dragons (with their breath or otherwise).
3. If it were about the celestial dragons, it would break the apparent narrative of the murals:

First: Kranon does ritual with other kin (it fails, and so his name is crossed out ad replaced with Vek (failure)).
Second: Black hands erupt from the failed ritual, grabbing at dragonkin and successfully taking Kranon.
Third: A Dragonkin attacks strange shadow Dragonkin.
Fourth: Destruction (presumably of Dragonkin at the hands of the strange dragonkin leading to the sinking of Ulthven).

I'm inclined to agree that the hallucinations aren't really relevant...unless the Giant Mole that attacked me is related to the Dragonkin/Horrors/Pirates etc
