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 casted Zotha down from the heavens, and Zotha was not mentioned again. Historically, Asgorath actually casted down an "ice moon," 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. Some scholars from Candlekeep had the theory that this ice moon was one of the Tears of Selûne.
