elements in GKC

I'm just now starting to appreciate the richness of all the little details woven into this wonderful comic. One of the things that is nagging me is how all the elements will play into the story.

For starters there is the seed Bismuth. Bismuth sits right below Antimony on the periodic table. What does our lovely Antimony have to do with the seed Bismuth? Surely this is not coincidental.

Then there are the robot banners showing the TicToc, Antimony, Nickel(?), Gold, Bismuth. I can't come up with a credible relationship amongst these metals that ties into the story in any way.

Lastly, there's the symbol on Eglamore's armor for Lead.

Have I missed other "elemental" references? Anyone care to point out how these elements might tie the story together?

P.S. I did search the forum and didn't find anything on this exactly but if this has been discussed could someone please point me toward the discussion? Thanks.

I think there's information on the Wiki, at least with direct character-element affiliations, but I'm not sure if there's a discussion hub on the subject.

Several, actually. Just search for "alchemy".
