From Clumber: Barkings of an Old Dog via Tobias Haller:

The Anglican Periodic Table (1) Today’s Element: Rowanium Rowanium is a colorless, odorless, tasteful, semi-toxic, inert monatomic chemical element that heads the Noble Gassers series in the periodic table and whose atomic number is 2. Its boiling and melting points are the lowest among the elements and it exists only as a gas except in extreme conditions. Rowanium is the least reactive member of the Noble Gassers elements, and thus also the least reactive of all elements; it is inert and monatomic in virtually all conditions. Rowium has a relatively low molar (molecular) mass and as such it seems to carry little weight in the Anglican World, and in reactions with other elements seems to produce nothing more than a loud “sigh” in most instances, although some researchers report a very low “oh dear” or “tsk, tsk” in the presence of some of the members of the Halo-gen (Group 17) elements, such as BigPetine and Venabline. Halo-gens are highly reactive, and as such can be harmful or lethal to biological organisms in the Anglican World in sufficient quantities.
