Said to have the longest memories of any land animal, elephants are the archetypal repositories of ancient wisdom; some of their Seers can tap a well of racial memories that stretches back to a time before longpaws walked on two feet. Though feared and respected for their great strength, elephants have a gentle disposition and a great capacity for empathy. Many of them, however, look with scorn upon the longpaws, who often hunt them for the ivory in their tusks. And despite the gentle natures, an enraged or rogue elephant is one of the most powerful and nearly-unstoppable forces in the animal kingdom.
