Or it may not have been a catastrophic event at all. In the Holy Country Myth of Mountain Stories (up at glorantha.com), the Pool of Serenity is an inverted mountain created by Harana Ilor.

In the Heortling myths, Umath meets Howling Void at the Dueling Isle which is somewhere in the vicinity of Citadel, the Heortling "Spike". Now it just so happens that in Tarsh, there is a place called Duelfield on Kordros Island where Marofdul fought and killed Halifitor (supposedly his uncle but I think it was the other way around) to become King of Tarsh.
