'''First of the Sun''' is the first planet in the [[Drominad system]].{{map ref|Drominad system}} The natives of this world have not yet developed spacefaring technology, but they have been visited by the [[Ones Above]], a spacefaring race from another world. First of the Sun possesses a single moon called '''First of the First'''.{{map ref|Drominad system}}

== History ==

At an unknown date First of the Sun was formed within the Drominad system, humans are not a recent addition to the planets ecosystem indicating they may have arrived early in its history.{{wob ref|10841}} Throughout its history many [[Shards]] have meddled with the planet and its inhabitants,{{wob ref|9385}} of particular note is the Shard [[Autonomy]] who created [[Patji (being)|Patji]] on the planet.{{wob ref|9385}}{{wob ref|8606}}{{wob ref|8902}} Patji was directly created by Autonomy{{wob ref|13220}} but the associated perpendicularity was not, that instead was a naturally occurring phenomenon.{{wob ref|3365}} This Perpendicularity is unique to First of the Sun as no other planet in the system has one, as a result First of the Sun is the best studied of the system's worlds.

Various expeditions have been undertaken by [[Silverlight]] in order to explore the planet but are generally hampered due to the fact that the world's perpendicularity is located in the most dangerous part of the planet.{{wob ref|5772}} As a result First of the Sun developed a reputation of being highly dangerous and attempted expeditions slowly died off leaving most of the planet unexplored by outsiders.{{au ref|Drominad}}

During the [[True Desolation]] [[Hoid]] requested for assistance from Autonomy in combatting [[Odium]]. Patji however intercepted the letter and declined the offer unless Hoid earned their respect by surviving the challenges on the [[Patji (island)|Islands]]. Hoid never visited First of the Sun and so never completed this challenge,{{wob ref|7135}} he did before attempt to get onto the planet however.{{wob ref|8937}}

=== Arrival of the Ones Above ===

By the arrival of the [[Ones Above]], there was no longer a shard present on First of the Sun.{{wob ref|9385}}{{wob ref|1010}} By this stage [[Scadrial]] has achieved space travel.{{wob ref|6664}} Contact was made with a group known as the Ones Above who began to share their technology and knowledge with the planets inhabitants including but not limited to detailed maps of its surface, compasses and steam boats.{{book ref|sixth}} The Native culture of the world began to suffer though with knowledge such as the Old Arts fading away as people stopped practicing them for navigation.{{book ref|sixth}} These advancements emboldened multiple companies to be bolder with the plans to expand their outposts on the [[Pantheon]], often resulting in ruin.{{book ref|sixth}} One such company, with the support of the [[Eelakin]] chiefs, was the Northern Interests Trading Company which reached the island with 200 soldiers and [[Vathi]].{{book ref|sixth}} They had planned to use a machine they had taken from the Ones Above to survey the island and capture Aviar, however [[Sak]] began forewarning [[Dusk]] of the danger of doing this leading him to try and stop this from happening.{{book ref|sixth}} Instead however he and Vathi realised that the Ones Above were trying to exploit them and vowed to resist their efforts.{{book ref|sixth}}

'''Mainlanders''' are much more scientifically developed than the Eelakins. They question traditions, and seek to develop scientifically advanced technology. They consider themselves much more advanced than the Eelakins, although they respect the Eelakins for their toughness and resilience, and their ability to live on the Pantheon.

The '''Ones Above''' are a spacefaring race of people who are not from First of the Sun. They bring in advanced technology, but are careful not to allow the Mainlanders to advance beyond what they are safely able to handle. They leave notes in their devices, seemingly by accident, to help the Mainlanders along.

As with the rest of the [[cosmere]], Investiture on the First of the Sun predates the [[Shattering]]. Certain aspects of Investiture on the Pantheon, particularly on Patji, seems to be related to [[Autonomy]] in a way that is currently unrevealed.{{wob ref|9385}}

Aviar, birds prized by the trappers for their magical abilities, such as blocking the trappers' thought waves, defending them from predators, live only on the Pantheon. If an Aviar is hatched and raised somewhere else, it will not have this ability. All Aviar, regardless of what island they come from, go to a certain secluded location on [[Patji (island)|Patji]] called [[Patji's Eye]] when they are young, and when they leave, they are endowed with their magical ability. Nobody except for Sixth of the Dusk knows the secret to the magic of the [[Aviar]]: they eat the fruit of the tree called [[Patji's Finger]] and become infected with a parasitic worm. It is the worm that bestows the Invested abilities. A bird of another species that is brought to Patji's Eye will develop a different power, as evidenced by [[Sak]].
