"Who goes there?!" they spoke in their native language, conveying the meaning of their words through nonverbal communication. "How dare you enter our territory without our permission!"
The elephantine therianthropes retained only the flap-like ears of the elephant species, while others had managed to gain nascent tusks unlike those of an elephant.
"My name is Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria."
They froze at these words, understanding the meaning of his words in their head, staring at him with a hint of disbelief as they studied his features, realizing that he matched what they knew of the description of the most powerful warrior of human civilization.
"Are you…" They hesitated. "Are you truly the Dawnbringer of the Lost Continent?"
