Naavsiiee Jars
Heavy dullglass canisters containing conductor films, dielectric skins, and ion-gel cores, the most common surviving Iru People Iru The progenitors, and the only naturally evolved people of Elshore. power storage and the practical baseline of Iru energy technology wherever legacy infrastructure still functions at low draw. Unglamorous and rebuildable, they are slowly dying: each rebuild leaks more and holds less than the last.
Key traits
- Internal plate stacks are micro-finned and separated by self-healing membranes, with sacrificial traces that consume corrosion before it reaches the functional components.
- Deliver sustained low-level power for door disciplines, whisper-signs, sensor thread, pocket instruments, and vault indicators.
- Called "charge holds," "sealed reserve," or "bound yield" in surviving Iru records, never batteries, per Iru technical convention.
- Refurbishment is possible but degrades capacity with each cycle; a heavily rebuilt jar is a poor shadow of the original.
- Failure modes include gel splitting, membrane pinholes, film peel, and salt poisoning.
