Corrupted is a misnomer methinks. The disasters would have happened even if the God Learners had remained faithful to the original ideals of the 'Return to Rightness' Crusade. Besides the big disasters also affected other empires who were always ignorant of the Forbidden Secret of the God Learners (the destruction of the Elf Empire of Errinoru and the Two Year Winter that afflicted the EWF spring to mind).

I don't think this is quite right. The Gods of Pelanda did go away after a while and it was only though the devotions of the Palmsters of Hagu that Turos returned. *Then* he goes and defeats GanEstoro and sets the world to right...
