Solarium



Existing on both Nidus and Marihm, solarium is a crystalline ore that exhibits glass-like transclucense and is optically transparent to the naked eye. The main chemical components of solarium consist of large photovoltaic cells that allow for the absorption of solar energy, ultraviolet rays, and electricity.

 On Nidus, the abundance of Solarium in the mountain ranges spanning across Meridia  and Aquilon has allowed for efficient and advanced energy technologies in the modern era when the power of solarium was first understood and put to use. The most prominent technology were the domes. Having the majority of mountain ranges and, by extension, a larger quantity of solarium, Aquilon has developed quicker than Meridia and has become a wealthier culture. This has caused several economic, political, and cultural differences that have eventually torn the planet in to two vying sides.
