So if a large chunk of the Neath's copper comes from Polythreme and Hell's chief export is brass, where did they get the zinc?

well according to wikipedia, some of the symptoms of Zinc deficiency include depressed growth, impotence, impaired appetite, and altered cognition. So perhaps they get their Zinc by Abstracting it?

I greatly enjoy meeting delicious new friends and participating in deliciously exciting new adventures! Please feel free to drop a card to meet for dinner, exchange favors, give an interview, or any other activity that comes to mind. I DO particpate in exchanges requiring Fate, BUT you must contact me first; twitter, facebook, or here on the forums via PM.

Note: I am currently exchanging parcels with a large number of dear friends and my parcel opportunities are rare. I am always willing to exchange but your rate of return may be rather slow. To find others to exchange with I recommend the Starveling list.

probably not, more like zinc deficiency is a common ailment in fallen london that most people mistake for being Soulless. But I could definitely see the medical science of fallen london 'progressing' by first blaming the symptoms on Soullessness, then learning that it's really caused by a lack of Zinc, and before you know it, outlandish newspapers are claiming that the zinc in souls is what gives infernal brass it's warmth

You should follow the internal logic. Zinc is clearly found everywhere in the Neath, it is what happens when objects are immersed and cannot regain buoyancy, for example in the Zee. So when you drop copper into the Zee, it will zinc and you will get brazen.

It took me a second to follow your train of thought there, but then I laughed. Zinc or zwim.
