Indeed it is. It's also filled with Crow Demons that are believed to be connected to Velka. Given the fact that the her armor set, weapon, and spell are all locked away in the Painted World, I don't think it's likely that she joined with Gwyndolin. The Vow of Silence also describes her as a "rogue deity" which, in my personal opinion, makes it even less likely that she would choose to side with Gwyndolin, as his motives seem to lean more toward keeping the illusion of the gods still being at full power than punishing sinners.
