To be honest, I don't think the Cataclysm had anything to do with Arneson. The Great Rain of Fire (GRoF) was a construction invented by Dave Ritchie (maybe with Bruce Heard) to link Blackmoor and the Known World. Ritchie originally envisioned the Thonian Empire to be a predecessor to Thyatis, but this was later changed, with the GRoF being pushed even farther back in time, making the FFC events occur more than 4000 years before the Known World.
