Ivory

Ivory is the main energy source that the Tri and Isi Societies both rely on. Ivory powers all technology and fuels cars, trains, and the rockets that the Tri use for transportation.

The law states that only Mechanics and engineers blessed by Mother can handle Ivory in its raw or pure state. Commoners are only allowed to touch Ivory Batteries to replenish the fuel supply to their homes rather than wait for a Mechanic to do so. To request Ivory for your home, you need to turn in an Ivory Slip to a Progenarian in a church to be presented an Ivory Battery. This is a temporary power supply that powers the home, and one must purchase an Ivory Slip first before receiving the battery.

Ivory is currently in a massive shortage due to frivolous overuse by the Tri Society in their digging mining operations, as well as mining of Ivory Deposits, pustules of ivory under the water, by the Isi Society. The Isi believe that taking from the deposits is not as taxing on the planet as what the One Concern is practicing, however notation by scientists of the Tri Society indicates that this is just as detrimental. No steps are taken to alert the Isi of their oversight by the Tri Society. The leaders of the Bastion and the One Concern are well aware that the mining situation will cause the Planet to break apart much like the planet of the Precedes as well as the larger moon. The larger moon was tapped into sometime in the past for Ivory, resulting in the crust breaking apart once there was no longer enough to sustain it.

All matter is held together by Ivory, and removal of it results in purple Detritus dust. Rooms filled with this dust prevents the powers of Mediums from being used, and prevents them and Agents from being able to heal their wounds.
