Elves

The Elves, if the rumours are true, are Fertility Constructs designed by the Chimney Man to fulfill His desires during His approximately 360-day slumber.

Physical Description

• Elves have no lips, making their sharp and pointy teeth, which are designed for the chewing and consumption of Coal, by which they are perpetually stained a dark and dusty black, clearly visible.
• Elvish tongues are extremely stiff and don’t bend.
• Elvish eyes are covered in multiple levels of eye lashes to keep the Coal out of their vision. Since the Elvish eye has evolved to thrive in an exceedingly dry and dusty environment, Elves naturally never need to close their eyes and thus lack eyelids.
• Elves have pointy ears, but they point downwards, so as to not collide with the low ceiling of their mines.
• Lower-class Elves (below the class of Collier) are typically always hunched down so as to fit in lower tunnels.
• Elves have inverted knees, so as to improve crawling in tunnel conditions.
• Elves are closer to Coal golems than biological creatures.
• The throat and mouth of an Elf is constantly extremely dry due to being coated in Coal dust, which renders their articulation extremely hoarse, strained, and outright grating.
• The complexion of an Elf is a dark grey, simply because they are always covered in layers upon layers of coal; no-one actually knows what the natural skin colour of an Elf is.
• Elves are mostly bald; the most hair they have on their bodies is their eye lashes.
