>>56404959the gith as a race used to be the same people who were enslaved by the illithid
when they broke free they turned into 2 different races of people, the warriors being the githyanki and the spiritual/monastic ones being the githzerai
githyanki follow Vlaakith who is a lich queen and the leader of the githyanki people, and the githzerai follow the philosophy and guidance of Zerithmon who was one of the champions of the liberation with Gith herself, githyanki also have a treaty with tiamat that allows them to use red dragons in their fight against the ghaik
githyanki live in the astral plane and githzerai live in limbo
githyanki are typically evil and githzerai are typically neutral or good
githyanki are boring and dumb and githzerai should have been the lead cast in bg3 because they are much more interesting but larian included githyanki because they ride dragons and use swords and thats what sells games t. githzerai player
