The Lower Elements Police ( LEP) is a fictional law enforcement organization of the fairy People, who live in the Lower Elements (underground) in the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. The Council is also mentioned in the second Artemis Fowl book, when one of the Council members was helping to keep back the B'wa Kell while the other Council members were being protected. Opal Koboi is obsessed with becoming dictator of The Lower Elements and eventually the entire planet, desiring power not held "since the days of the monarchy." Lily Frond, the beautiful Elf who represents the LEP is descended from Frond. He plots a coup with the villainous Opal Koboi and later says to Foaly that if it weren't for him, Root, Holly and Artemis he would be Chairman, referring to himself as having been "The Council's golden boy."įairy society was once presided over by a monarchy, the first ruler of which was the Elfin King, Frond.
When his plans are thwarted and he is found to be corrupt and thus demoted, he is left consumed with hatred and determined to get revenge. In the first book of the series, the power-hungry Briar Cudgeon is obsessed with ascending to The Council. The head of The Council is referred to as The Chairman and is effectively the ruler of The Lower Elements.Ī few characters are mentioned in Book 1 that seem to be on the Council: Vinyáya, Cahartez and Lope. The Lower Elements are a democratic republic with a governing body called The Council. Holly is contemptuous of The Lower Elements, referring to them as a "technologically advanced cave" and believing that the fairies deserve to live above ground. Root at one point humorously reminds Holly that "there is life below ground you know." The reconnaissance officers in the LEP are particularly fond of flying above ground on "recon" missions, especially the heroine of the series, Holly Short and her superior, the late Julius Root. Reconnaissance officers are an important body in the LEP and are referred to as LEPrecons, a play on the word leprechaun. The Lower Elements are protected by a police force called the LEP (Lower Elements Police) which also seems to serve as a military as Briar Cudgeon and Opal Koboi plan to take over The Lower Elements by seizing control of the LEP in The Arctic Incident. At another point in The Opal Deception, Mulch Diggums remarks that fairies are "obsessed with Mud Men".

The only films fairy characters in the series are portrayed as watching are either made by humans or about humans, including "a human Western" which Grub Kelp views in The Opal Deception and a cinema movie about the fairies epic battle with the humans in The Lost Colony. The Lower Elements are referred to as having artificial sunlight.ĭespite the luxuries they have available to them in The Lower Elements, including natural hot water ( due to proximity to the Earth's core), sophisticated means of transportation and of course, impressive technology, the fairies' lives seem to revolve around the surface of the Earth and human society. The fairies are a very advanced set of races with a recorded history and society far older than human history, and thanks to the technological head-start, The Lower Elements are equipped with extremely sophisticated technology, vastly superior to that of the human race. They cannot enter human homes without permission or they will be overcome with a wave of nausea (This was undone by the warlock N☁ sometime between The Lost Colony and The Time Paradox). Fairies are peace loving and were not eager to go to war against the 'Mud Men'(Humans) The LEPrecons have many entrances to the Lower Elements. In the fictional setting of the story, fairies and their other magical cousins used to live above ground but when the human race evolved, the fairies were forced to move into more secluded places then, finally, underground. However, the centaurs have been mentioned several times, as with trolls, and the centaurs' cousins, the unicorns, were killed off, yet they are not recognised. There are 8 recognized families of fairies- Elves, Dwarves, Pixies, Gnomes, Gremlins, Goblins, Sprites and Demons. Fairies live a life according to the Book of the People. Their underground civilization is centered around the capital city of Haven. All the fairies have retreated below the Earth to escape the destructiveness of the human race. The average height of a fairy is exactly 1 metre, one centimetre. The People are beings, usually shorter than a human, who possess magic properties in the Artemis Fowl series.
