Glory and Pride
The Elkians are usually very proud people. They have a heightened sense of duty and loyalty. All of them have antlers on the top of the skull often compared to a crown, symbol of their noble place within the verdant kingdoms of nature (the antlers of the males usually being much larger than the ones of the females).
