Feb 22, 2016 at 4:50 comment added aroth You don't get a greenhouse effect from ash. The main atmospheric compounds that produce a greenhouse effect are methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, ozone, nitrous oxide, and CFC's. Some of those (CO2, particularly) are typically present in volcanic eruptions, yes, but not generally in sufficient quantities to counteract the cooling effect that the ash itself provides. Also note that we're not talking about normal volcanic eruptions; we're talking about Rashek manipulating the power of creation in a deliberate attempt to cool the planet. Perhaps he called up 'clean' eruptions?

Feb 21, 2016 at 13:20 comment added Rand al'Thor The Ashmounts were created by Rashek during his initial contact with the Well of Ascension to counteract his moving the planet too close to the sun, by blocking some of the sunlight so that it doesn't get too hot.
