GITHYANKI SUPREME COMMANDER
Supreme commanders lead the githyanki armies, each
one commanding ten kith'raks, who in turn lead the
rest of their forces. Most supreme commanders ride red
dragons into battle.
GrTHZERAI ANARCH
The most powerful of the githzerai, anarchs lead com-
munities and maintain the adamantine citadels that
serve as strong points in planes beyond Limbo. They
have formidable psionic capabilities, able to manipulate
the unformed substance of their adopted plane with a
thought. These rare githzerai are sages and mystics,
and their word is law.
