===The Dead Sea and Avernus===
The Dead Sea is a heavily contaminated area near Berlin roughly 54 kilometers in diameter<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-1}}</ref> centered on a military dumping site used during World War Three. While classified as a Red Zone during World War Three,<ref name=ES7>{{cite|gfl|es|E7}}</ref> it eventually turned into It is a [[List_of_Locations#Black Zone|Black Zone]] so dangerous that even birds won't fly over it.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E1-8}}</ref> The Dead Sea was It is considered irrecoverable and the region within it was not included in even the highest-quality maps of the region, making it a perfect hiding spot for Paradeus and its troops immune to radiations.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E2-3}}</ref>
In 2064, [[Paradeus]]' headquarters in Germany was in Avernus, a floating skyscraper located deep into the Dead Sea. Avernus consists of two black metallic towers set on a rock mass floating high above the ground. Due to the extremely poor visibility inside the Dead Sea, even this alien-looking tower has remained concealed from the outside world. Though the towers are connected to the ground by power conduits, the distance is such that climbing them would be difficult and risky.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E3-11}}</ref> The building itself already existed in 2051, and it is where [[Daybreak Squad]] met its end while trying to assassinate “Capita”,<ref name=ES7 /> despite {{enemy name|Bramedb|boss}}'s claim as to Avernus' perfect secrecy.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E4-5}}</ref> As Paradeus' headquarters, it is where [[William]] and {{enemy name|Nemhran|boss}} reside, where [[Angelia]] was imprisoned after her capture, and appears to be the production center of the most powerful [[Nyto]]s, as {{enemy name|RPK-16 (Enemy)|boss|alt=Pandora}} and {{enemy name|Morridow|boss}}'s new forms were created there. One of the towers contains a statue resembling a heavily modified version of the ''Winged Victory of Samothrace'', where Nytos regularly offer prayers.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E1-8}}</ref>
It should be noted that another location called the Dead Sea existed in the Pacific Southwest during [[World War Three]],<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E1-2B}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E1-4B}}</ref> where Avernus or a similar structure was also located.<ref name=ES7 />
