Lore: Clay Dolls
9 years ago
The major societies of On Gay Wings We Sing consist mostly of atheists and scientist. People who find explantation for every aspect of life. And while they try so hard, there exist one notable anomaly in their world: Clay Dolls.
Clay Dolls are humanoid creatures. They have stocky bodies with long bony arms and legs, grey skin but no head. Instead, they have a single mouth across the breasts of their chests; no eyes, no ears, and no nose. Just a mouth. Each of their hands have six fingers: two thumbs and four normal fingers. Clay Dolls are also very small. The Clay Dolls that live in the Middle Lands only stand about six inches tall; the ones in the far western Wugher lands do get to be around a foot tall. They are called Clay Dolls because of their small stature and for that fact that they mainly live around creeks, rivers, and lake's clay deposits. They eat different types of rocks and minerals but clay is their favorite. In a world of science, Clay Dolls are a mystery. No one has ever seen a Clay Doll defecate, mate, or even die. Clay Dolls can be killed like normal things but if left alone no one has ever seen one die from "old age" or sickness. In fact, some noble houses pass down pet Clay Dolls. The oldest recorded Clay Doll has been in possession of the Kabkazi family for 470 years. The only explantations for their origin come from local folklore and even that varies from region to region. Though curiously, the majority of those stories have some sort of correlation between Clay Dolls and the useless plant mandrake.
Intelligence in Clay Dolls is also varied. Some people who have studied them for years only find animalistic behaviors; whilst others have seen intelligence and in the most rarest of cases, speech. Across the great sea some adventurous explorers go deep into the abandoned continent and come back telling stories of Clay Dolls that grow to be the size of tree. Giant Clay Dolls said mostly to be peaceful to explores unless provoked. There are many stories of mysterious and awful creatures that live on the abandoned continent which only perpetuates its name: The Monstrosity of Sin.
