The People were split in two, the followers of Zerthimon becoming the githzerai, and the followers of Gith being the githyanki, both eternally hostile to each other. Thus, the Pronouncement of Two Skies was uttered, and a civil war ensued. Zerthimon strongly believed that it was now time for the People to rest, rebuild, and learn to *know* themselves again. Gith was not content with freeing her People, and insisted that the illithid race should be eradicated from the multiverse. The rebellion was bloody, but at last, the People freed themselves. She was also of the People, and was so strong willed, charismatic and *knew* herself and others so well that she swayed even Zerthimon into following her. Gith, a soldier for the illithids later known as the Warrior-Queen, later joined the rebellion. Instead of being given the promised reward, Vilquar was devoured by his master. Zerthimon quickly hushed the rebellion, tricking Vilquar and the illithids into thinking it was over. He covertly organized a rebellion, which was discovered by the illithids thanks to Vilquar, another of the People who saw no freedom in the rebellion, but opportunity to raise his station in the eyes of his masters. Zerthimon was the first of the People to realize his people were enslaved and to discover that their masters weren't invincible. For generations upon generations, the People served as completely subservient slaves to a mind-controlling race, the illithids (mind flayers). The githzerai and their rival cousins the githyanki used to be part of a single race simply called the People. Once these First People, made only of thoughts came to *know* themselves, they became flesh. ![]() The githzerai believe their race was born from thoughts in chaos. Once enslaved, they value personal freedom above all else. The githzerai shape the matter around them into entire fortresses and maintain them with nothing more than their minds, thus the importance of truly knowing things inside and out. In Limbo, where everything down to the very matter is chaos, where matter can only be held together through concentration, it is literally a case of mind over matter. ![]() It is a manifestation of the way they think. Their emphasis on the word *knowing* is not simply a quirk of speech. Though mindsets can vary widely from one individual to another, alignments varying from lawful to chaotic, the githzerai are shaped by their environment and share some common views.
