Editing Githyanki in Eberron (section)

== Githyanki Society ==


Githyanki society is matriarchal with the women holding almost all of the positions of import in the society.  It is also a military dictatorship with the soldiers ruling over the common citizenry of the Githyanki whom themselves are the overlords of a vast slave culture of beings taken from other worlds to handle most common labor in the Githyanki's floating astral cities.  


They are a brutal and savage people who consider all other species beneath them.  They are not too disimiliar to Karrns in most respects and tend to lord over other beings like they're chattle.  Githyanki "honor" is of paramount importance but it provides no prohibitions against backstabbing, lying, and treachery to achieve victory.  In fact, it encourages it so long as it's against non-Githyanki.  Oddly, it's unheard of for a Githyanki to be a traitor and the closest thing to a civil war they have is against the Githzerai.


The Lich Queen holds the position as God-Empress of the Githyanki.  While not a Divine Spark herself, she grants spells via the worship of the imprisoned form of Gith who is kept in an eternal ''Temporal Stasis'' spell in order to serve as a constant reminder of the Githyanki's business.


Githyanki love hunting Abberations for sport and it is their greatest personal honor.  Claiming the skulls of Abberations is the one area where even slaves can earn respect.
