Githyanki

From GaldorWiki

The githyanki, the Children of Gith, are a humanoid race living in the Astral Plane descended from the escaped thralls that overthrew the planes-spanning empire of the Illithids thousands of years ago under the leadership of a female rebel named Gith. The Githyanki have been ruled by the lich-queen Vlaakith CLVII (named for the adviser of Gith), a corrupt and paranoid undead wizard, for over a thousand years.

Dwelling in the timeless Astral Plane, the Githyanki inhabit numerous fortresses constructed from materials imported to the Astral Plane as well as cities built atop god-isles, the vast stone corpses of deceased gods. Their capital and largest city, Tu'narath, is built on the god-isle of a deceased power known only as "The One in the Void".

Bred from the beginning of their history to hate the illithids and any form of slavery or tyranny, githyanki are a race of warriors, excelling at swordplay and the creation of ornate armour and weapons.
