Question: Did Zwazo Fou Fou really kill Ouranus? And if so, what damage did killing the avatar do?
He very definitively did. Though it happened offscreen in the fiction around it (it was during the characters' jaunt to Ehekatoyaatl, while Geoff was stuck on a boat with Jay Ortiz), it had a very definite impact on the world, as killing Titan Avatars tends to do. To be fair to Zwazo, he was trying to be merciful; Ouranos was depressed and wanted to be put out of his misery, and Zwazo felt sorry for him.
It was still a terrible mistake. With Ouranos' death, pleasant, clear-skied weather is completely gone from the World. There are no calm summer days or gentle breezes; there's nothing but storms, violent winds and fierce cloud fronts. Ouranos represented the neutral, quiet part of the sky, and with his death, that part no longer exists. To make matters worse, his removal also opened the door for a new Titan Avatar to create himself and seize control, which is bad news for everybody (especially the Amatsukami).
Theoretically, the PCs might be able to restore some kind of reasonable weather to the world if they can get someone to take Ouranos' place as the Avatar of calmness, but since most other Avatars are storm-based and unlikely to change their minds, and most gods are not excited about leaping into a Titanrealm to become voluntarily part of it, it'd be a very difficult undertaking.
