Zotha was a godlike being who, according to the Book of the World, created a Crystal Sun at the beginning of time, while the god Asgorath created Toril. Asgorath cast Zotha down from the heavens, and Zotha was not mentioned again.[1]
Historically, Asgorath actually cast down an "ice moon"[2] or a comet[3] to the surface of Abeir-Toril in an event known as the Tearfall, wiping out the batrachi civilization and creating the Sea of Fallen Stars.[2][4][5]
Some scholars from Candlekeep had the theory that this ice moon was one of the Tears of Selûne.[5]
