About githzerai[edit | edit source]

Githzerai (Githyanki language for "those who spurn Gith") are a group of Gith who reside in the Plane of Limbo. Their split with the Githyanki dates back to philosophical differences that emerged in the wake of Gith's successful rebellion against their Mind flayer enslavers. The nascent Githzerai (lead by their prophet, Zerthimon) rejected Gith's desire for conquest, believing it made them no better than their former illithid masters. The division resulted in a civil war that saw Zerthimon killed and the githzerai forced to retreat from their home in the Astral Plane. They retreated to Limbo, where most now spend their lives as ascetics and cultivate their psionic powers, led by their immortal god-king, Zaerith Menyar-Ag-Gith.

The Waking Mind of a Githzerai can be found at the Mind Flayer Colony, and can be conversed with in that location. It will make a request to the character conversing with it, and will reward the special condition Githzerai Mind Barrier Githzerai Mind Barrier if this request is agreed to. Their brain can also be consumed.

In the Epilogue, if Orpheus Orpheus began his new rebellion against Vlaakith Vlaakith and Lae'zel Lae'zel joined him, then Lae'zel will tell the player character of her upcoming meeting (taking place the day after the reunion) with Zaerith Menyar-Ag-Gith, who has proposed an alliance between the Githzerai and the Prince of the Comet. This potential alliance is also implied in a missive sent to the player character by Orpheus, titled The First Protocol, wherein he proclaims the first new Protocol of the Githyanki is "All who call themselves gith shall unite under one sky".
