Spherus Magna (Shadow Alternate Universe)

Spherus Magna was a Class-M planet from the Shadow Alternate Universe inhabited by billions of villagers, notably Glatorian, Agori and Great Beings. It was later destroyed by a cataclysm which shattered the planet, presumably killing every single inhabitant in the process.

History
Pre-shattering history to be written soon

The Shattering
At some point during the Core War, Energized Protodermis started to leak abundantly through the surface of the planet, much to the Great Beings' concern. Gigantic geysers of energy could actually be seen from outer space, and most particularly from the near planetoid of Matora Magna. Under unknown circumstances, a beam of pure energy arose from aforementioned planetoid, directed straight to Spherus Magna. The beam highly empowered the Energized Protodermis, causing it to suddenly and violently burst through the planet's shell in a tremendous explosion which shattered Spherus Magna in millions of small rocky pieces. To this day, not a single inhabitant of the planet has been ever heard of again, leading to the common belief that no one survived the explosion. This event was later refered to by the inhabitants of Matora Magna as "The Shattering".

Spherus Magna is now an asteroid field entirely devoid of any life, pacing through the sky of the near planetoid at night, amongst the stars.

Geography
Before the Shattering, Spherus Magna was some kind of lost paradise filled with lucious forests, infinite oceans, high mountains and beautiful icy plains and caverns. It was home of lots of different biomes, thus allowing a large biodiversity to develop there under the actions of the Great Beings. There were mostly seven different ecosystems, each inhabited by one Tribe of Glatorian and Agori :
 * The Great Volcano region, inhabited by the Fire Tribe
 * The coasts and seas, inhabited by the Water Tribe
 * The Great Forest, inhabited by the Jungle Tribe
 * The desert and Sandray Canyon, inhabited by the Sand Tribe
 * The Ice Plains, inhabited by the Ice Tribe
 * The Black Spike Mountains and Skrall River, inhabited by the Rock Tribe
 * The Iron Canyon, inhabited by the Iron Tribe

All of this was lost due to the Shattering, and all that is left of Spherus Magna is now a derelict asteroid field, full of thousands of rocky spheroids from the size of a pebble to the one of an entire country.

Trivia

 * The main difference between Spherus Magna in the Prime Reality and Spherus Magna in the Shadow Alternate Universe is that the Shattering was not just a natural disaster. The cataclysm was emphasized by an unknown being, which led to the entire destruction of the planet rather than only its separation into three distinct planetoids.
 * This article is the first SAU-related one written by DarknessApogee. The choice of Spherus Magna to begin with is justified by the fact that in the SAU lore, the history of the planet is considered ancient history ; thus allowing DA to lay the foundations of his alternate universe without spoiling much of what's to come next.
