Zephyr Gish'ra Verik is a Gish'ra encountered in the Astral Plane at the beginning of Act Three. She is part of

Orpheus' honour guard, and is fighting to free him.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

During a long rest at the end of Act Two, the party is suddenly woken to an attack by various githyanki monks. The party is then called into a portal by the Dream Guardian, where it is revealed he/she is The Emperor. He asks for the party's help, as Verik and the other monks are invading the Astral Prism to free the son of Gith himself Orpheus, who as it turns out is being held prisoner within the prism. The githyanki will attack the party, regardless of the answer given to the Emperor.
