Githyanki
Once members of a people who escaped servitude to mind flayers, githyanki split from their cousins, githzerai, and fled to the Astral Plane. In that timeless, silvery realm, they honed their psionic powers and built the great city of Tu’narath. Now, they spread throughout the multiverse, starting from creches where their young reach adulthood.
