ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

So I just found out that you can see Eyal from the expanse, staring at it for some time I have see some strange stuff. First question!, what is a giant crater doing in the middle of Maj' Eyal it has a blue spot in it also like a lake or a giant sapphire. what is the scary looking continent south of Maj'Eyal and last why is the entire southern hemisphere a desert?

I thought the huge crater thing was the Spellblaze scar.

The Spellblaze could also be responsible for the man-made climate change. Or maybe elf-made. Humanoid-made? Whatever, it's probably our own fault that there's a huge desert.

Questions questions.... :D

On the southern front, there is some lore in the game hinting at that.
