Road Gnomes

The Road Gnome is a reclusive and unusual type of fey that seems to pop up in any world in which there are paved roads.

Here is an excerpt from the seminal tome on The Fae of the ELotH World Modern mythological creatures that explain many unusual things: ELotH: TES edition

Concerning the disrepair of some of the roads found in this the most glorious of Kingdoms one need look no further than the industrious but destructive activities of the Road Gnomes. These diminutive nae gnome like creatures have been seen by this chronicler to chew on paving stones of all manner during the dark hours of the night. At the beginning they seem to be scrupulous of what sections they take and will often start at the edges of said road. Unfortunately these tiny man shaped creatures are intoxicated by their very source of nourishment and end up devouring random sections of the roadway. After they have eaten their fill and more they are possessed with a powerful urge to relieve themselves. They then drop their tiny trousers and proceed to urinate hot sticky tar all over the roadway in unusual and seemingly random patterns of lines and swirls; this sometimes has the pleasant side effect of sealing some of the same breaches their earlier feeding may have caused.

All of my research into these unusual beings point to them having a relationship to the other fey races but I have not been able to get any information from the Road Gnomes themselves. All inquiries are rebuked with what translates to "Buzz off buddy, I’m on my break" regardless of when or where I attempt to communicate with them.regardless of when or where I attempt to communicate with them.

(The existence of these creatures is not mentioned in any work by Mr. Brahe, and the ravings of the aforementioned book's author are probably best disregarded.)-Id_42

Note from the Chronicler

On the veracity of the listed work, These are creatures spotted in many works of fan fiction since the release of the aforementioned tome. It is to be noted that the individual referred to as Mr. Brahe has accepted these and many other insights into his world.
