📋 About This Mod
The Followers of Zerthimon
After centuries of servitude, the forerunners revolted under the guidance of their leader Gith, conquering their freedom
and spreading an unprecedented devastation through the illithid empire, bringing the mind flayers to the brink of
extinction. However, Gith ordered the continuation of the war effort until the last mind flayer was destroyed and the gith
became masters of their own empire based on conquest. At this point, Zerthimon, a gith who had gathered a significant following
during the uprising, challenged Gith's leadership and her motives, arguing that she would end up leading the people into a similar tyranny
that their former masters enforced.
Zerthimon maintained that the mind flayers had already been defeated beyond recovery and that it was time for the fighting to stop
and for the newly freed gith to learn about themselves and to improve as a culture, strengthening their unity and wisdom as a people, not to
a culture, strengthening their unity and wisdom as a people, not to start another cycle of violence.
Followers of Zerthimon adds the Githzerai, a sub-group of gith who splintered from the Githyanki, as a playable race
