Well, for me the Caithe thing is something I have been predicting from some time ago, the only thing I don’t like is that they made it plainly obvious from the start of the chapter this time, continuing with subtle clues would have been more interesting, like if at the end of the talk with Taimi you could see Caithe near if you looked, but without conversation.
Anyway, Caithe already acted in a weird way when the Pale Tree was attacked, maybe she helped Mordremoth to attack it, in my opinion she has been corrupted by Mordremoth for a time, my guess is that she would have been corrupted shortly after the killing of Zhaitan, or , as suggested before, from a long time ago (helping to kill Glint and Snaff).
But, I don’t think that is possible, because it would make no sense to help to kill Zhaitan without tricks after saving Klakatorrik (unless there are rivalties and friendships among elder dragons), and Caithe looked like honestly worried about dragons, Destiny’s Edge, and Tyria in the Storyline. No, my guess is that she was corrupted after the death of Zhaitan. That was the secret Scarlet talked about (Scarlet was mad and was dangerous, possibly she was influenced by Mordremoth to awaken him, but she really thought she was an enemy of the dragon and was helping Tyria as a whole, surely in her mind if she didn’t kill the dragons, anyone would be able to (or maybe she didn’t want to just kill them, but to do something entirely different in the light of the hints made at the priory library that killing them all would be bad for the world, she could have learned about that because of her vision)).
The thing is, Scarlet was, or at least that’s was she thought, an enemy of Mordremoth, and the secret she learned is that Caithe was working for him. (If she did something nasty in concrete, that I don’t know).
