Stannum

The world and all living things in it reject the Prometheans. This might be the natural order of things, it might be God's will or it might simply be a side effect of the Azoth used to animate the flesh of a Promethean's body. They call it " Disquiet," and when the effects of this rejection mount too far, pushing the Prometheans toward their base natures, they call it "Torment."

The word scarcely does the feeling justice. To be rejected by the world as a whole is as painful a feeling as any living creature will ever know. Most Prometheans, in some way or another, strive to avoid Disquiet and thus Torment. The Refinement of Tin, however, teaches that to shun Torment is to swim against the stream, to take up a fundamentally unnatural position, and thus to invite further pain.
