Githzerai are | Githzerai ([[Githyanki vocabulary|Gith]] for "those who spurn Gith") are a splinter group of [[gith]] who reside in the Plane of {{FRWiki|Limbo}}. Their split with the [[githyanki]] dates back to philosophical differences that emerged in the wake of Gith's successful rebellion against their [[Mind flayers|mind flayer]] enslavers. The nascent githzerai (lead by their prophet, {{FRWiki|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, {{FRWiki|Zaerith Menyar-Ag-Gith}}. | ||
The {{SmRarityItem|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 {{Cond|Githzerai Mind Barrier}} if this request is agreed to. Their brain can also be consumed. | The {{SmRarityItem|Waking Mind}} of a githzerai can be found at the [[Mind Flayer Colony]], and can be conversed with in that location.

In the [[Epilogue]], if {{CharLink|Orpheus}} began his new rebellion against {{CharLink|Vlaakith}} and {{CharLink|Lae'zel}} joined him, then Lae'zel will tell the player 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 by Orpheus, titled {{SmRarityItem|The First Protocol}}, wherein he proclaims the first new Protocol of the githyanki is ''"All who call themselves gith shall unite under one sky".'' | |||
