Ommonite is an extremely rare mineral found in shards near a zone in the Scablands known only as Scream Valley. Usually found in clusters, these shards emit a quiet ominous sound that could be mistaken for a creature. Ommonite itself is vibrating, caused by its magnetic properties reacting to superconductive meteorite deposits deep beneath Scream Valley.
When aligned with a superconductive source of resonance, Ommonite starts to sing!
The frequency of these vibrations changes depending on the shard’s orientation.
Miners & engineers have discovered that this property can be “tuned” to form a sort of sonic “compass”, which enables accurate navigation of the subterranean tunnels of the Scab...
