But do you really think that the use of the stone causes them to forget everything they know about art? It definitely might shift their hierarchy of needs, which explains why they don't create it anymore, but I don't think they would loose their understanding of it.

I think they know and understand art, but the pain due to the Stone and its false users is so strong that art is meaningless asides pain. Pain has a negative influence on mood and feelings, therefore every dragonkin we meet is rude, angry and sometimes impatient because they are in constant pain that is about to "rip their bodies apart".

Yes, Kerapac is a "robot" and has a lot of patience since he is a Dactyl, but do you know the feeling that you have a solution to something, or a eureka moment, and then you feel that you have to do it as fast as possible regardless of everything else? Kerapac has sought for a long time a way to break the curse from his race and Sliske has a solution: bring all the gods together with the Stone of Jas. And based on that Sliske's Endgame artwork, the Stone may shatter, thus breaking the curse.

We know Sliske is sadistic and therefore he has this competition. Kerapac doesn't understand it and grows tired, angry and impatient due to waiting since he cannot do anything to the Stone without having probably the same fate as Tarshak from Hero's Welcome. Sliske thinks the destruction he causes with the competition is art, but Kerapac is blinded by the pain and demands Sliske kill the pain by finishing the competition. Loristic, the Seeker of Lore, the Archivist of Knowledge, the World Guardian, the Diplomat of Cabbages, and the Regent of Miscellania. May anima mundi be with you and hail Guthix!

Well, after watching the Livestream with Raven, I think I understand something I was on the verge of discovering, but probably would never have discovered on my own.
Yes. Sliske was putting us through all these things to force our hand and make us be more like him, or, perhaps his mysterious master. He wants our soul to be more "compatible" through our experiences and actions, to either his own or to that of his master. He either wants to switch our bodies with someone, give us a new body, or give our body to someone else/himself. I doubt he wants it for himself, as his body is more powerful than ours is.
Another thing worth noting is that his 'master' is looking for a gathering of the Gods. Now, the master refers to the Staff of Armadyl as 'the staff,' not as the Siphon.. the Siphon is what an Elder God would call it. That's also what Zaros calls it, even Seren. I believe even Guthix referred to it as the Siphon?
So I don't believe it to be an Elder God, Zaros, Seren, or Guthix. If it's not Xau-Tak, that leaves... no other suspects. I had a thought though. What if there is a soul who needs a body? Like say... his boy Nabor? A

I agree, the manner of speaking does lead me to think that it's a Dragonkin. Maybe Sithaph since he's been VERY conspicuously absent since Ritual of the Mahjarrat. Or maybe it's Silkath, the Dactyl that appears in the background of a cutscene in Hero's Welcome. Would explain why he's the only Dragonkin (besides Tarshak) with a completely unique model, despite not having a single line of dialogue. And would explain why the voice is unknown, since we've never seen him talk.

And the Dragonkin would certainly be interested in a contest designed to kill false users. And then a gathering of them all in one place alongside the stone itself would be irresistible for the Dragonkin.

Sliske could even still be serving Zaros as a double agent, since having the Dragonkin all in one place at endgame would be useful for Zaros's goal of dealing with them. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

Anyway, assuming that some of us is right (or perhaps not), we have the 6th elder god, Zaros, Kerapac, Strange Glowing Orb, the Prehistoric Abyssal, Queen of Ashes, Balance Elemental, Kara-Meir , Jas, Mah, and many more others
If it's Kara-Mier I won't even be mad.
Neither will I. I will just be very, very confused NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

I doubt that Sliske is his own master, so let's not do the whole "He has a split personality" thing. It would also be very boring to me. But as for why I don't believe it, the master is the one who told Sliske how to use the Staff of Armadyl. Even if Sliske did have a split personality, do you really think it would have known enough about the Siphon to give that "tip-off"?

And Sliske had to beat up Strisath to get it. Yes, Sithaph has absent, but if Strisath was the one with the Staff, why didn't Sithaph just give the Staff to Sliske? Sithaph and Strisath are supposed to be on the same sides, so the master would only be Sithaph if he defected from the Necrosy*tes.

I think this exchange from Fate of the Gods is what we need.

Player: "So Zaros did order you to kill Guthix?"

Sliske: "That was more my... interpretation. Zaros wanted to return, but I saw futility in bargaining with Guthix. I suspect Zaros knew that, but he's not exactly forthcoming."

We've noticed that the mysterious voice is very direct and to the point. Sliske was drifting away from Zaros because Zaros plays all his cards close to his chest. That may be how Sliske likes to play it, but it's not exactly what he'd like in a master. So the master really can't be Zaros, as the main reason Sliske would like working for this master is because they're open about what they want in a way Zaros rarely was.

I have a weird theory. What if it is us? From another dimension and another time? After all there are multiple dimensions in RuneScape and if we can travel between them, why couldn't another, more powerful us do it too?

I just want an another "Me" fight... But it is still a possibility!
