Here is what I deduced from the quest:
1)
The book "death at sea" hints towards Xau-Tak.
Referring to Gustaf Joahnnes who sailed to Xua-Tak in the 2nd age and came back insane. When he saw Sliske, he shouted the adventurer's name even though he/she wouldn't be born for several thousand years. He said we would not be able to stop Xau-Tak.
2)
Xau-Tak is extremely powerfull.
Not only did an encounter with Xau-Tak make Gustaf shout things that wouldn't happen for several millenia. To be able to make Sliske listen to you there needs to be an EXTREMELY big power-gap. Sliske used to follow Zaros but he stopped doing so once he obtained the stone of Jas and the staff of Armadyl. This should mean Xua-Tak is stronger then Zaros ( a tier 2 god), perhaps he even is an elder god. One could argue it is also possible Xua-Tak has something or someone sliske cares alot about with which he blackmails Sliske, but it seems unlike Sliske to listen.
3)
Sliske wanted us to know.
Sliske, master of deception, get so easily tricked into revealing a part of "the great plan". This simply cannot be right from someone who has been fooling gods for centuries. Furthermore what was the point in all those trials with the barrows brothers if he simply wanted to kill us in the end anyways? and he easily could have, but for some reason he wanted his rather weak ,and no match for us, wights to do it. This could only mean one thing. It was al a deception to trick Xua-Tak. Sliske wants Xua-Tak to think he is on his side while simultaniously informing the player that there is more at hand.
Furthermore I noticed how Sliske acted a lot unlike Sliske. I think this is because ***-Tak was watching.
