Loxo

Loxos are a race of elephant people found all over Quelmar, often in varying cultures. They hum or chant in sonorous tones and move slowly or sit in perfect stillness. If provoked to action, loxodons are true terrors- bellowing with rage, trumpeting and flapping their ears. Their serene wisdom, fierce loyalty, and unwavering conviction are tremendous assets to their parties.

About

According to one story told at the Hummintru tribe, the Loxo are the descendants of the ancients Mammoths that the Frost Giants rode astride in their attempts to take over Quelmar in The Plane Wars. While far-fetched, it does offer one explanation of the tribe's devout connection to the Ysgardsil roots that it built itself around.

Others are convinced that the Loxo are the descendants of ancient Lucafolk, a subrace of Beastfolk not from Ysgard, but neighboring Beastlands.
