Line 92:
* The main weapon batteries of any ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' cruiser can, in the words of [[Ciaphas Cain]], '''[[The Hero|HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!]]''', "level continents." They frequently ''do.'' 40K doesn't even need weapons to accomplish this - the debris from a naval engagement can cause catastrophic damage all on its own. Think about it, the average cruiser in that setting is several kilometers long, several hundred meters wide and tall, and weighs in at millions upon millions of tons of armoured hull. If one of these ships breaks up in orbit, even the fragments will be million-ton steel meteors... If it goes down in one piece, the planet below gets nailed by a METEOR THE SIZE OF MOUNT EVEREST! And that's not even mentioning the even larger heavy cruisers, battlecruisers, grand cruisers and vastly larger battleships.
* Killing off darklords in the [[Ravenloft]] setting has been known to cause entire domains to disappear, their native populations included.
** In the 5th Edition version, both Darkon and Falkovnia are undergoing this, the former because its Darklord, Azalin, is missing, the latter due to a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] created by the darklord's foolish obsession. The guide book does suggest ways they might be saved.
* In the ''[[Greyhawk]]'' setting, this probably describes the Rain of Colorless Fire, a disaster that destroyed the Suel Empire millennia ago. Not many Oeridians currently alive know what happened, but most assume the Suel did it to themselves when attempting to do something ''very'' evil.
* In ''[[Eberron]]'', a similar magical disaster called the Day of Mourning destroyed the the nation of Cyre. Like much in the setting, the reason is left purposely unknown to suit whatever campaign the [[Game Master]] is running.
