If I may turn your attention to this approximate map of Tyria as of 250 years ago. See that poorly-circled red area? That’s the Crystal Desert and the Desolation! The Crystal Desert is (wait for it) a desert. The Desolation is also a desert, albeit one full of sulfur and considerably more death than its Crystal cousin.
Now we get to why all of this matters. You see, that was all water. The Crystal Sea, in fact. Right up until this fall of that Abaddon guy you keep hearing about.
Forget the Searing, forget the Cataclysm of Orr, forget the raising of Orr, the rise of the Elder Dragons and anything you thought left a mark on Tyria, because the Fall of Abaddon is the single most destructive event in known Tyrian history.
