Overview
Iron Monoxide (FeO) is a transition-metal oxide formed under low oxygen conditions. Though rarely stable on Earth-like worlds, it occurs naturally in meteoritic crusts and volcanic vents. In the Continuum, its presence in an atmosphere is a harbinger of metallic storms and forge-world climates.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Iron monoxide consists of divalent iron (Fe²⁺) bound to oxygen, forming a basic oxide. It oxidizes further to Fe₂O₃ or Fe₃O₄ upon exposure to air. In plasma environments such as Ignispheric Atmosphere worlds, vaporized FeO emits green light and conducts psionic current—forming “iron rain.”
Phases
- **Solid:** Mineral wüstite, dark and magnetic.
- **Vapor:** Found as metallic fume in plasma vents or stellar forges.
- **Condensate:** Magnetic dust settling after divine smelting storms.
Uses and Occurrences
- Indicator of reducing atmospheres and molten metal cycles.
- Ingredient in divine forges, symbolizing balance between order (metal) and decay (oxide).
- Observed in the atmospheres of volcanic Permian-Like Atmosphere and Ignispheric Atmosphere worlds.
Related Atmospheres
Trivia
- The term “iron rain” originates from divine chronicles describing molten droplets condensing in the upper forges of Ignispheric Atmosphere planets.
- FeO crystals retain weak psionic magnetism, used in constructing memory compasses.
