All Gith were once enslaved by the Mind Flayers. Once they finally overthrow their tyrannical overlords, the Gith were immediately broken into two. The Githzerai believed that the best to move forward was through enlightenment. With this goal, they made their home in the chaotic Plane of Limbo.

Githzerai looks almost alien with their flat noses and yellow skin. Though Githzerai prefers to stay in Limbo, they often may find that they have to leave for their battles with the Githyanki, to destroy a Mind Flayer colony, or for other more personal reasons.

Since the Githzerai are not native to the Material Plane, their names often sound even more otherworldly than Fey names. Githzerai names still have a flowing quality to them, to reflect how they have let their psionic energy flow freely.
