Elphasidon

The humanoid elephants called Elphasidon are often oases of calm in the chaotic landscape of Na'Endreth. They hum or chant in sonorous tones and move slowly or sit in perfect stillness. If provoked to action, Elphasidon are true terrors—bellowing with rage, trumpeting and flapping their ears. Their serene wisdom, fierce loyalty, and unwavering conviction are tremendous assets to their civilization.
Elphasidon are tireless, patient artisans with an unrivaled intuition about their craft. Although they make nurturing spiritual leaders, their gift for stonework is so ingrained that they are often at a loss when they try to impart that knowledge to others. Among the Gifnak tribes, it primarily falls to loxodons to become crafters and spiritual centers.
Elphasidon believe in the value of community and life.
Elphasidon believe that the members of a group have a responsibility to look out for each other. Once they have joined a group or bonded with other individuals in any capacity, Elphasidon devote themselves to maintaining that bond. They coordinate their efforts and are often willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the group. They expect reciprocal loyalty and commitment from the other members of their communities and can be severe in their disappointment when their trust is betrayed.
The primary difference between loxodons who join different groups is their sense of the size of the community they belong to. For Elphasidon druid, their community is the world and all living beings in it—everything valuable, meant to live in harmony, and interdependent. For cleric loxodons, community primarily means a society of different peoples who need adherence to law and order so they can function together. For those in thieves guilds, and mercenary corps, community means the syndicate alone, with its interests taking priority over those of any other group.
As a species they are immense in stature with leathery grey skin, large ears, tusks, and massive trunks. Their stocky limbs sacrifice dexterity for immense strength and fortitude.
