So, I'm writing a story about a world that once had three moons, but one was destroyed as a result of a battle between an alliance of the realm's races and a dracolich made out of thousands of corpses (makes more sense in context, honestly). I was planning on the event causing a nuclear winter that wipes out most life, requiring my immortal race of faerie folk to step in and re-terraform the world. But now my research is showing that such an event might actually cause an earth-like world to become blisteringly hot, to the point of evaporating oceans. What I want to know is, despite this being a magic world, is it more realistic for the planet to freeze, or burn? If it changes the answer, my planet is slightly bigger than Earth, exerting maybe 14% more gravity (or whatever would still allow for Earth-like life to survive), has two surviving moons that have a gravitational pull proportionate to what the moon has to Earth, and has an average temperature of about 69 degrees Fahrenheit. The Moon was crushed via telekinesis on the dragon's part, then allowed to drift within the Roshe Limit so it could create a planetary ring.
