Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

GITH

The

descendants of an ancient people-so old the ir

orig

inal name has been lost- have turned against each

other, becoming

vicious ene mies divided over mortality,

purpose, and the machinations of their leaders.

The

bellicose githyanki terro rize the Astral Plan

e, raiding

into other worlds to plunde r the multiverse

of its magic

a nd riches. The githze rai live apart from the r

est of the

cosmos , content

within the confines of the ir fortresses

floating through the

chaos of Limbo. Although the two

groups of gith despise each other, the ir hatred for

the

mind flayers from whom they escaped e ndures, a nd

both githyanki a nd githzerai are ded icated to hunting

the ir ancestra l foes.
