LeadLead (Pb, element 82).
A dense metal and the heaviest stable element. Found in many ores.
Useful in construction alloys, ballast, radiation shielding, and some very large batteries.
Due to this world’s high metallicity, lead plays an unknown but significant role in the biosphere. All indigenous organisms and water sources are tainted with lead.
Lead can mimic other metals involved in human biology, replacing them in critical reactions. It is a devastating toxin. Long term exposure requires urgent chelation therapy. Take any possible steps to remove lead from your food and water supply.
The presence of organolead compounds in the biosphere of Rakshasa played a major role in the breakdown of the expedition and the renewal of the Obraxis Principle.
