Hathi are elephant-folk native to the western coast of Henjal--a region they call Thongja Liangsad.  They resemble Asian elephants, and like those beasts only males grow tusks (which have no mechanical benefit).  They are the largest of the native Henjali races, similar in size to goliaths, bugbears, and orcs--though bigger than even these.  They are as physically similar to the Loxodons of Ravnica as they are culturally similar; hathi are the archetypal "gentle giants" (an archeype also meant to be served by the non-tainted goliaths).

It is with the hathi that the nonviolent, monastic Way of Tranquility finds its origins.  Among the hathi, this tradition focuses on breathing techniques and body postures as methods of affecting internal alchemy.

These elephant-folk have a close relationship with the monkey-folk Vanara--for they are kindred mammalian races among the remnants of a scalikind empire.  The two races openly interact with each other; all the while avoiding dealings with the nagi, lizardfolk, and kobolds.  A lengthy and circuitous road has  developed across Henjal connecting the Sea of Fuhon with the Sea of Sand; its course is a direct result of the mammallian avoidance of the scalikind.  The road passes through the heart of the Forest of Vines, where only the most ancient of forgotten draconic monuments can be found.

Hathi relations with the Nezumi, their closest Fuhonese neighbors, is generally antagonistic--though there is no record of any outright conflict between the two.  Many hathi are simply uncomfortable in the presence of nezimu.  It may be that this is but a racial memory from a primitive age when nezumi and hathi were competing for the resources in overlapping regions--though a stereotype of the nezumi assassin may also play a bit into this animosity.

In the ancient era, during their exodus, humans had passed from nezumi territory directly into nagi territory--two races the hathi typically avoid contact with (and certainly did at that time).  Therefore, there was no contact between humans and hathi; and today few human explored venture into the west. There are no tales of the hathi in Prace; and the vanara who speak of them to humankind are often distrusted for their fanciful tales of elephant people.

Hathi Stats

Hathi use the same statistics as Loxodons from Ravnica; and as in that setting, there is only one race of elephant-folk.

Should subraces be necessary, the "Loxodon Serenity" trait and bonus to Wisdom score would be candidates for establishing a base-line subrace.  The other may follow the stereotype of elephant performers with a bonus to charisma and proficiency or advantage with related checks.
