Gith

The Gith said to be created by Myena herself, are separated into two very distinct factions, although identical is physical characteristics they differ entirely in ideals. Both factions share the same ancestry in the Astral Plane, they built great kingdoms, an advanced society, and ships capable of traversing the Astral Sea. They were a strong and unified race, mighty warriors sworn to hunt and kill their enemies, the Mindflayers.

The Gith are able to retain the memories of all the ancestors that came before them. As they grow in years, they have visions of these memories.

As with most powerful civilizations, its leaders grew vengeful with power and civil war ravaged their kingdoms of beauty. They were separated into two factions, the Githyanki, and the Githzerai. The Gith claim that in the destruction of their cities, Myena in her wrath of their destruction banished the Gith from her plane.

Upon reaching the material plane, the Githzerai found solace in the mountains of the Crystal Range. They built monasteries and studied in peace alone.

The Githyanki set their sights on conquering existing kingdoms, and using their psionic abilities attempted to corrupt the leader of the Zenurian kingdom in Nasar. Their plot discovered, the king drove the Githyanki from his lands and spread the word throughout Mistbank of these evil and meddling creatures.

The human kingdoms could not tell the difference between the two factions, and also chased the Githzerai out of the Crystal Range. Both factions found solace in The Darkhallow, and both separately developed their own kingdoms far away from each other's reach.

Githyanki

This faction of the Gith have adopted a mix of martial proficiency and psionics. They built their city of Khakhar atop of a large plateau, an easily defensible position. Their society is heavily militaristic, constant training, smithing, and patrolling are the largest parts of the Githyanki day to day. They have found some purpose in the discovery that the Mindflayers have also found their way to hallow with them. They are known to wield silver greatswords into battle.

Githzerai

The Githzerai built their home among the Draulk Grove, a massive forest of Darkhallow mushrooms. The Draulk mushrooms are larger and more sturdy then most of the trees on the surface above, and they have built their monasteries from them. Their walls are enforced, well guarded and protected, but the Githzerai keep to themselves, choosing to hone their psionic skills through meditation. They use a hand to hand method of martial combat.
