Tiyaniht

A semi-organic metal that was formed under extreme pressure. It contains crystalized cells from ancient Raliok woven with the various metals and carbon atoms. The weaving of this semi-organic metal is so strong, that a single thread of Tiyaniht can hold over one million kilograms of force. It is a common building material, and is the basis of the planned space elevator that the Sunik Nation has started to construct as of 998 E.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Opaque, ebony, with a hint of iridescent sheen. Tends toward a tubular shape, its atomic layers more like sheets of atoms that can smoothly move past each other, but when intersected in welding, create a tight bond that requires high temperatures to break.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Hardness 12 (1-soft through 12-incredibly hard).
Has a melting temperature of 360 Kelvin.

Compounds

Predominantly made of Carbon along with a few other elements.

Geology & Geography

Most commonly found on the continent of Vera , but there are hills full of them in Sefutji, which lends evidence to the theory that Raliok Forest once existed on that continent.

Origin & Source

Formed in lava tubes, from where Raliok roots had died and petrified, then melted by lava into a tubular atomic lattices.
