One of the NOBLE gaseous elements, no less, which means that:
A) It tends to NOT react chemically with other elements or compounds
B) If you fill a glass tube with it, and run an electrical charge through
the tube, the gas will glow, just like its noble cousin, Neon

Makes sense, since it was the follow-up album to the CHRONICLE of the Black
Sword.

>so it's the gas bible?

Or the book of glowing signs?
