Leviathum

Leviathum is a natural ore and is the key component of most advanced steam technology. It is most commonly found in underground deposits in or around mountain ranges, the largest known deposit being the Yuven Mountains Leviathum Mine in south Brochovichia.

Properties


The reason Leviathum is extremely valuable to steam technology is due to two unique properties it has.

Firstly, when coated in crude oil, the ensuing chemical reaction creates a powerful coal-like fuel that burns for extremely long times and intense heats. This compund is often used to power advanced steam engines.

Secondly, when refined, Leviathum floats if an electric current passes through it. This phenomena is currently unexplained, although Brochovichian scientists speculate it has something to do with magnetisim.
