According to stories, several things came of this. First, the sun can no longer be seen rising; rather it is seen on its trek to ending the days [[light]], and this is said to please [[the Mad God]]. Second, locals say that the waters are tainted with his insanity and that is what causes the wildlife to go crazy with rage. More than that, the locals point out that the legend of Corath's fist also explains the [[Redlands]]; the desert is just beyond the eastern wall, and the force of the godly blow pushed devastation ahead of it. The same can be said of a star-sphere crater of course, although those who live close point out that it would have been in more of a circle around the impact than in a specific direction.
