A11

, tentatively designated "New South Saldan" by the Academy on Saldan's research expedition, was a Pocket Dimension that was ravaged and left lifeless by the Pantheon War. It was the site of The Black Pyramid Incident in . During the First Coalition War, New South Saldan was used as a null bomb development site and later destroyed, leaving behind the mostly impassable NSS Exclusion Zone in its place.
== Geography ==
The surface of A11 was ravaged by etheric energy from the firing of the black pyramid during the Pantheon War, leaving the planet as a mostly-featureless expanse of glass, with only the occasional shadow left within the glass surface revealing the planet's former terrain.
== Locations ==
=== Black Pyramid ===
The black pyramid is an ancient communications device and superweapon built by Baradun during the Pantheon War, and was central to the events of the Black Pyramid Incident.
=== Gate Town ===
Gate Town was the name given to the base camp set up near A11's etheric gate by the Saldanese expedition. It was destroyed by the firing of the black pyramid during the Black Pyramid Incident.
=== City of Ashes ===
The City of Ashes was a collection of ruins far to the south of Gate Town left behind from the Pantheon War.
=== Kirvan Oasis ===
The Kirvan Oasis was the reflecting pool of a massive Church of Kirva that was used as the base camp for the Aeldrum Trade Company expedition and was discovered to contain the sepulcher of the Kirvan angel Zarail.
== History ==
=== Pantheon War ===
A11 was the site of major fighting during the Pantheon War. Though the details have been lost to time, evidence shows that forces of both Baradun and Kirva were present on the planet. During the war, the firing of the Black Pyramid superweapon left the planet completely uninhabited and barren.
=== Modern Rediscovery ===
A11 (renamed "New South Saldan" by the Saldanese) was first explored in the modern era by a Saldanese expedition in , which culminated in the Black Pyramid Incident. After the Black Pyramid superweapon was unintentionally fired, a clash ensued between the Saldanese, the Aeldrum Trade Company, a faction of the Knights Mercantile, and the Skinchangers over control of the Pyramid. Amid the chaos, A11's (unexplored) second etheric gate was opened, the Baradun-corrupted Mage Prince Matthias arrived on planet, was ultimately defeated, and the second gate forcibly closed.
=== Research Site and Destruction ===
During the First Coalition War, the null space generation capability of New South Saldan's Black Pyramid was used by the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum to develop null bomb technology. The planet was completely destroyed later in the war, leaving behind a semi-impassable stretch of etheric ley line known as the NSS Exclusion Zone.
