Editing Githyanki in Eberron (section)

== Githyanki Leaders ==


Vlaakith the CVII (CE Lich [Githyanki] Female Psionicist 18) is the absolute ruler of the Githyanki race and dreams of eventually achieving divinity for herself by altering the Githyanki into a race of super-powerful psionic demigods that she will rule as "chief deity."  To be honest, she's Shadowspawn levels of crazy and deluded but manages to sell her nonsensical dreams through charisma mixed with genius.  To facillitate this, she's killed all of her rivals over 10th level amongst the Githyanki by draining their energy out and using it to power her experiments.


Kolthor the Illithid (LE Illithid Genderless Wizard 7) is the Lich Queen's "tame" Illithid whom is arguably second in command of the entire Githyanki race.  Kolthor is actually a representative of the Daelkyr Lord of Silence whom long ago inspired the Vlaakith line to rebel against the noble Gith in order to render any further resistance to their race moot.  Kolthor pretty much is responsible for the degeneracy and madness of the current Githyanki Lich Queen but in suitably obedient fashion is continuing to use them to make life miserable for as much of the galaxy as possible.  


Ironically, he's responsible for the Githyanki experimenting on themselves under her orders.  This is just a resumption of the experiments conducted 5,000 years ago.
