Githyanki
The Githyanki are an ancient race of martial humanoids who reside on the Astral Plane. From their astral citadels, they launch countless raids against unfortunate Material Plane lands, carrying off plunder and slaves to serve them in their extraplanar castles. Widely known as planar travelers and marauders, githyanki venture to all corners of the multiverse in search of power and wealth.
While others may find them caustic and condescending, githyanki are often ambitious, clever, and uncomplaining in adversity - qualities that make them well suited to the vicissitudes of the adventurer's life. They are not particularly loyal allies and make few friends, but they are fearsome and tireless foes.
Githyanki society is martial, with both males and females training heavily in magic and sword fighting. Although they are loyal to each other, they are also fiercely individualistic.
Githyanki have little use for deities, but all must pay homage to the terrible lich-queen who rules their race. The lich-queen is not a deity and grants no spells to her followers, but she jealously destroys any githyanki who openly venerates a god.
