Physical Appearance
Gith are tall and emaciated-looking humanoids. They have pale yellow skin, sometimes with greenish or brownish tones. Their skulls are long and angular, with deep-set eyes, flattened noses, and long pointed ears. Typical hair colors include black, red, russet, and sometimes gray.
General Personality
Since their hard-won victory against the mind flayers, the gith became ascetics and philosophers, pursuing self-knowledge in the face of adversity. As a splinter group of an oppressed race, they are extremely distrustful of outsiders and are devoted to their self-preservation. Since arriving on Avensuna most gith have stuck only to Isperia, and focus their time on self improvement and research.
Origin Town:
Isperia
The gith arrived in Avensuna, along with the tabaxi, upon their vessel. Avensuna is a material plane that easily lets outsiders in, but curiously is very difficult to leave. The gith found a northern human settlement filled with wizards and scholars that suited their needs, and co opted as their new home. Eventually it became the town of Isperia. The gith devote themselves to studying the cosmology of Avensuna and finding a way to leave the plane. In their spare time though they leave out lures to drag in unsuspecting Illithid parties that they then kill.
