The Rhoken, also called Rhoxodon, are the rhino-folk of Vitaea, a Landborn heritage of scattered families. They live in a mixed society of semi-nomadic tribes led by one of the great Khans of the Plain. They descend from the True Sylvari and gained sapience in the Great Awakening, some 40,000 years ago.
