The Folly of Zerthimon


After Mother Gith freed us from our illithid bonds, Mother Gith traversed the planes, discovering civilisations thriving among the stars. She conquered, she colonised, she controlled. And all the while, Zerthimon questioned.


He and his disciples struck with words. He claimed that because the gith had been born anew, we did not know ourselves. That in building an empire, we proved ourselves no better than our former slavers. Gith retaliated with silver. So began the War for the One Sky.


Upon his inevitable defeat in the Blasted Plains, Zerthimon's faithful retreated to limbo. And there they remain, languishing in the lethargy they craved, free of inner fire, free of purpose.


They call themselves the githzerai - those who spurn Mother Gith. We call them hshar'laki - the unforgiveable.
