Considering that the creature shown with the "Lordvessel" appears to be lashing itself, as though punishing itself for past sins. More evidence of Velka?

Also, while the location being shown does have similarities of the Painted World of Ariamis, perhaps this location inspired the Painted World? Just a guess. :P
