Elephant Reverence

It was a great story, still believed by many, but the sad truth is that the elderaunts were made by the antipha.   These water archons, former elite soldiers of the durkoth, created the elderaunts to serve them as slave soldiers.  Elephant Reverence is a myth, preached by shamans for so long that came to be dogma, all to hide the dark secret of elderaunt creation. 

Be careful though, tell an elderaunt he was made in some vat and your likely to find a sword in your belly.
