Overview
Hydrogen Sulfide is a colorless, poisonous, and flammable gas with a distinct sulfurous odor. Common in Flatus and Flatus-Prime Atmosphere worlds, it signals active biochemistry and geothermal venting.
Properties
H₂S behaves as a weak acid and reducing agent. When oxidized, it forms Sulfur Dioxide or elemental sulfur. In psionic environments, it interacts with Darkon radiation to form transient shadow-mists.
Uses and Occurrences
Present in decaying swamps, volcanic vents, and the metabolisms of anaerobic organisms. Divine chemists occasionally use it in controlled combustion for illumination in shadow rituals.
Related Atmospheres
Trivia
- Colloquially known as “The Stench of Creation.”
- Mythic records suggest some lower divines once used H₂S as the base of life’s first breath.
