Elvish Syndrome, colloquially known as the "Immortality Blessing," is a rare biological condition observed in humans exposed to high concentrations of Unobtainium over extended periods. The syndrome results in a notably slower rate of cellular ageing, leading to enhanced vitality, prolonged youthfulness, and delayed onset of age-related decline.
The phenomenon was first identified in colonists who had spent years aboard long-range vessels or habitats containing Unobtainium-based infrastructure. Medical examinations revealed that these individuals displayed reduced cellular degeneration, improved mitochondrial efficiency, and significantly lowered rates of DNA mutation.
In controlled studies, laboratory animals, particularly rodents, exposed to trace amounts of Unobtainium exhibited a measurable increase in lifespan, along with enhanced resistance to genetic disorders and oxidative stress. While the full mechanism remains under investigation, researchers hypothesise that Unobtainium emits a low-level quantum resonance that stabilises telomere length and enhances cellular repair functions.
Though not true immortality, Elvish Syndrome represents one of the most profound side effects of prolonged exposure to Unobtainium and may hold the key to future breakthroughs in human longevity and regenerative medicine.
