Deep within the arid and unforgiving deserts of Dashan, where shimmering mirages dance upon endless dunes, lies the resplendent oasis city of Phlox. Here, amidst the scorching sands, thrives a remarkable species known as the Hathi. These towering and wise elefantfolk have carved an extraordinary civilization, embodying the harmony of nature, the grandeur of history, and the sanctity of their oasis home. With their remarkable adaptability to their environment, they have built a city where life flourishes amidst the dryness - a place where lush vegetation, crystal-clear lakes, and cascading waterfalls defy the harshness of the desert.   Masters of Druidic Arts: The Hathi have a deep-seated connection with nature, and their culture revolves around the veneration of the natural world. Many among them become druids, channelling the ancient magic of the dense jungle around the oasis to heal, protect, and nurture their community. It is not uncommon to witness a Hathi Druid guiding a barren patch of land back to life or calming a raging sandstorm.   Guardians of the Oasis: As the protectors of Phlox and its life-giving oasis, the Hathi have honed their skills in nature-based magic. They are masters of irrigation, responsible for the intricate network of canals and aqueducts that sustain their city. It is their sacred duty to ensure the oasis thrives, for it is the wellspring of their existence.   Sharing is Caring: Life in Phlox flows with a sense of calm and community. The Hathi believe in sharing, with resources pooled for the benefit of all. Even their grand meals, brimming with fruits and vegetables from their lush gardens, are communal affairs, fostering bonds that transcend generations.

It is a good basic outline of what they value and outlook. Doesn't specifically address spirituality or theology - but natural balance and cycles seem immediately evident. What are the social structures of family and community leadership like?
