Tremorn

Tremorn is a fictional material used in speculative fiction and related media. It is not a real mineral or substance recognized by science. The term serves as a descriptor for exotic energy materials and is defined differently across works.

In common portrayals, Tremorn is a rare crystalline resource mined in or near tectonic activity. It is prized for high energy density and stability under extreme conditions. Some narratives describe Tremorn as having a dynamic lattice that reacts to stress, releasing usable energy, while others depict it as a pure catalyst or alloying element. Handling and extraction are typically hazardous, requiring specialized equipment and procedures.

Beyond energy applications, Tremorn features as a plot device, currency, or technological cornerstone in various stories and games. Variants differ in properties and value, reflecting the needs of the particular setting. Because Tremorn is not standardized, its scientific explanation varies by author.

Etymology is unclear; the name likely evokes tremor or resonance, chosen to convey power or instability. The term has no formal definition outside of its fictional contexts.
