Contra Deluge

== Overview ==
The Contra Deluge was an event in approximately 1,500 BG which resulted in Starfal Crater and Fallen Star becoming heavily eroded through a surge of entering floodwater from both glacier meltwater and a small amount from the primary tsunami. 
== Causes ==
The full explosive power of one of the The Rokningspik Circle islands was unleashed in a minor eruption. However, the collapse sent miles of land into the sea, causing an enormous tsunami heading in the direction of northern Contra. The wave was so tall that it partially managed to thrashed over the smaller mountains in the western Totality Range, flooding large parts of Contra. In the longer term, the ash cloud produced from the volcanic eruption at Rokningspik was blown over the western Totalities due to exceptionally strong winds. By the next day however, the winds had all but disappeared.
== Consequences ==
The loss of wind resulted in vast amounts of super-heated ash to fall on the snow-capped mountains and glaciers for as long as the volcano continued to emit ash. Consequently, glaciers produced tonnes of meltwater, eventually finding itself in Starfal Crater and eroding the crater further. After a few weeks of constant erosion, the Fallen Star inside the crater had eroded into almost a perfect Cone. It was thought that by the next year, most of the water had either evaporated or entered the ground leaving a smaller lake at the bottom of Starfal Crater instead of the whole crater being full of water.
