[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2995599, member: 11697"] The Astral Dreadnaughts tend to be drawn to anyone disturbing the dead gods of the Astral, and they'll kill anyone actually mining them. The githyanki have managed by trial and error over millennia learned how to do what they do without being very invasive, thus not garnering the wrath of the Dreadnaughts (and by extension He Formerly Known As Anubis, The Guardian of Dead Gods). I used the notion of mining dead gods extensively in my last campaign, and in fact the current plot arc in my 1st storyhour revolves around a pair of fiends posing as Rakshasas*, using disaffected/rebel githyanki as labor as they literally stripmine several godisles, including Maanzicorian and others. What they're actually doing there on the Astral is a bit deeper than just mining. *the fiends, an Ultroloth and something else, presented themselves as the pair of Rakshasas mentioned in 'Guide to the Astral' in connection to Ghyris Vast of 'Divinity Leach' fame. I'll be posting a lengthy update with Vast sometime tonight that gets into how exactly the Leach itself comes into this, and I've dropped hints that some of the mining was intended to complete the Crown of Agony in Carceri atop the Tower of Incarnate Pain.
