Item from Volume 6 by Rooster Teeth
The crystallized energy that powers everything — weapons, vehicles, civilization itself. Without Dust, Remnant falls.
Dust is Remnant's lifeblood. A naturally occurring energy source in crystal and powder form, it comes in elemental varieties — fire, ice, lightning, wind, earth, gravity, hard-light — and powers every weapon, every vehicle, every piece of technology keeping humanity alive. The Schnee Dust Company controls the largest mining operations, making Atlas the dominant power in Dust production. As the team pushes north toward Atlas, Dust becomes increasingly relevant — the kingdom's wealth, its military power, and its political influence all flow from Dust monopoly. Every weapon in the group runs on it. Every glyph Weiss casts burns through it. The frozen roads they're traveling would be impassable without Dust-powered vehicles and Dust-infused survival gear.
Naturally occurring crystalline energy — raw Dust appears as colorful glowing crystals that can be refined into powder, loaded into weapons, or used industrially. The Schnee Dust Company controls global distribution.
