In 1130, the Irastâ ventured deep into the Ma'Ohari region, crossed the Kimaris expanse, and then endeavored to traverse the Broken Lands. Seeking refuge from a magical tempest, a vestige of the Gulimbor Cataclysm (996 - 1203), the elderaunts found shelter in the ancient Melephaeusan ruin known as Thegildreon. Within an ancient temple, they encountered dark energies.
In my travels, I have discovered ancient books and scrolls that describe these creatures as belonging to the Irastâ tribe. Tomes acquired from Ivory Ward indicate that the Irastâ encountered some malevolent forces in the depths of the Broken Lands. Based on my observations, this appears to be the work of abyssal energy, warping those who remain in it for too long. Undoubtedly descended from the common Elderaunt, they share a similar build but are greatly opposed in their minds. The Elderaunts are vessels of Negative Entropy, while their malevolent counterparts are chaotic, vessels of entropic energy. Equally disconcerting is the profound unholy nature of the demon's psyche that permeates each one of them.
Dax, from the 1461 Black Banner Journal - "The Maleraunts"
Maleraunts possess deep grey to black complexions and captivating red or vivid purple eyes. Similar to elderaunts, they are bald and develop robust and lethal tusks. Distinguishing the maleraunts' tusks from the conventional shape of elephant tusks is their twisted and discolored appearance, featuring hues of yellow, grey, and light blue.
Maleraunt harbor no religious taboos akin to the Elderaunt's Elephant Reverence. They adorn their tusks with ink and scrimshaw, chains, rings, and even permanent attachments for warfare.
