Thera of ED is indeed Thera the isle that might be Atlantis. There is no
mention of the "sinking isle" in any ED stuff. The Death Sea is just a sea
filled with lava.

As for Crater Lake, it is mentioned in Worlds Without End; from all
indications, it is/was a mana-spike allowing the Horrors to come through,
hence building a barrier to prevent such.
