"I is for IRRIGO. No one remembers why. Irrigo colours the forgotten corners of home."[1]
The most easily found color of the Neathbow, irrigo is the unremembered color, the light of absence.[2] Its name comes from the Latin irrigo, meaning to flood or overwhelm, or, even more suitably, to diffuse or shed.
Properties
Exposure to irrigo causes severe memory loss; overexposure to it can result in total ego death.[3] Continuous exposure to irrigo can also cause thick, bony plates to grow over one's eyes, creating unnerving eyeless skulls[4] that are still full of irrigo and able to harm whoever possesses them next.[5] The Cave of the Nadir is filled with dangerous irrigo radiation,[6] so explorers must consume something infused with violant - like tea brewed from a costly Ray-Drenched Cinder - to protect themselves even temporarily.[7]
While Neathbow colors come in many different shades,[8] irrigo is usually depicted as an intense, radioactive-looking purple.[9]
Uses
Irrigo can be infused into objects,[10] and Midnighters use shrines and robes that are draped in this color to perform their rites.[11] The Irrepressible notably uses powerful irrigo weaponry.[12] Irrigo seems to internally retain the memories it steals, so Fluke-Cores often have years worth of histories and experiences stored within them.[13]
