Origin
Loxodon are an ancient and dignified race, native to the dense jungles of Elephant Island. Towering over most other humanoid races, these elephantine beings are known for their strength, wisdom, and deep connection to their ancestral land. Elephant Island, once ruled by powerful wizard-kings, is now a place of ruins and danger, overrun by beastmen, jungle beasts, and degenerate cultists. Despite the island's perilous state, many Loxodon have remained deeply tied to their homeland, while others have been forced to migrate due to the arrival of the Crimson Slavers in Marg.
The Loxodon are formidable, both in body and spirit, which makes them poor candidates for slavery. The Crimson Slavers, recognizing this, tend to avoid capturing Loxodon whenever possible. When forced to confront them, they often resort to lethal measures rather than risk the challenges of subjugating such powerful beings.
As a race, Loxodon are known for their communal values and spiritual depth. They live in tightly-knit communities, often led by wise elders who guide their people with a blend of ancient traditions and practical knowledge. Their connection to the past is strong, with a rich oral history and a deep respect for the ruins and relics of their once-great civilization. Despite the hardships they have faced, Loxodon remain resilient, embodying the strength and wisdom of their ancestors.
Loxodon have formed an enclave in the Kerkhof Ferry District.
