The best being The Unbroken Circle of Zertimon, the religious text held by the NPC Dak'kon in the computer game Plansescape: Torment.Here's the link:<a href="http://www.planewalker.com/rrakkma/entry.php?intEntryID=10831" target="_blank">http://www.planewalker.com/rrakkma/entry.php?intEntryID=10831</a>The basic bit of the argument, as also detailed in the Unbroken Circle, is how to live AFTER the war on the Illithids. Gith's point of view: We must never allow ourselves to be slaves again, we must hunt the illithid to utter extinction, and once that is done, set ourselves up as the overmasters of all species - if the Gith people are the Masters, then they can never be the slaves. Zerthimon countered that the illithid were broken as an empire, and the people were free, and that's all that was needed, and it was time to live life again, rather than merely live war. What with you having very heroic characters in your run, it should be able to easily play up the megalomaniacal aspects of Gith should they meet and the solid as a rock nature of Zerthimon, perhaps convince him that war isn't the way. And then be there when the last illithid in the fortress they were seiging dies, and the Pronouncement of Two Skies happens...and Gith wacks Zerthimon for his "treason" and the civil war erupts around them.In my home campaign, I've set it up so that at that point, though none of the gith peoples know it, the faith of the Zerths in Zerthimon elevates him to godhood when Gith kills him, but without true followers, only those espousing his philosophy without venerating him, he hangs out in a half-way stage waiting for his people to call on him. Which is where my run has the githyanki character in question who has given up his evil ways over time, and has begun to step down the exalted path buoyed by an previously unknown god of mentalism...</blockquote>
