* The Feywild being effected by defiling implies that the magic is actually reaching across dimensions. Who knows what sort of damage the magic is doing to the ''Multiverse.''

* How did defiling magic ''destroy the oceans'' of Athas? If most of the planet is a desert then any recovery has to be purely magical.

* Mul being a name for half-dwarves is obviously a FantasticSlur when you realize they're sterile products of crossbreeding. It is sadly also a slur in the real world.

* There might well be many other places with life outside the Tablelands but given its preponderance of EvilOverlord SorcerousOverlord types, you can understand why no sane person would try to travel ''to'' it.

* Regardless of edition, the water everyone's drinking has to come from ''somewhere'', even if it's simply summoned by magic. And even in the latter case, assuming everyone's bladders and sweat glands are functioning properly, this by itself should logically be enough to gradually repair Athas.
** Saving spells like Conjure Water, the water isn't coming from anywhere. It's the water that's already on Athas, being endlessly reused. It's just that there's an extremely limited amount of water, and since every normal lifeform needs a certain amount of water in its body at all times, that imposes a limit on how much life can exist. Restoration is possible, but Athas won't stop being a desert on its own - the planet needs more water from elsewhere.
*** This is actually the biggest hope for the setting in the Cerulean Storm. Rajaat is now serving as a LivingMacguffin who is bringing massive amounts of water from wherever and his storms will probably do a great deal to undo the damage to the world--assuming he doesn't destroy it first.

* Regardless of edition, The tremendous stress and constant conflict between people is why people are higher level on Athas than they are in other worlds.
* Defiling makes sense as a way to destroy
the water everyone's drinking has world as not only does Athas not have an equivalent to come the Weave, Siberys, or Gods to provide them magic but Raajat seems to have planned to utterly rebuild the world from ''somewhere'', even if it's simply summoned by magic. And even in the latter case, assuming everyone's bladders ground up.
* The Gith deciding to go ScrewThisImOuttaHere makes sense with the fact that the Sorcerer Kings are Epic Mage/Psioncists that could actually slay their queen, Vlaakith. In the Astral Plane, they would be utterly invincible
and sweat glands are functioning properly, this by itself should logically be enough to gradually repair Athas.
** Saving spells like Conjure Water,
capable of enslaving the water isn't coming from anywhere. It's the water that's already on Athas, entire Gith race that has no members above 13th level.
