The Lost One

The Lost One is a deity worshipped on the island of Afyal in Zakhara's Crowded Sea before the coming of the enlightened gods. Rumor has it that the Lost One fled Afyal before the advance of the followers of Selan to some place in the Crowded Sea, but idols of his elephant-headed humanoid form can still be found in many remote places of the Isle of the Elephant.

Secret of the Lost One
Predating Zakhara's dominant culture of Enlightenment, the Lost One is considered a forgotten, savage god, but he is also a benevolent deity. Instead of fleeing Afyal, he somehow transferred his essence into the elephants of the island, which show an unusual intelligence. The Lost One also manifests himself as light emitting from one of his statues and can inspire people to create elephantine figues and compose poetry in the ancient language of Affa.
