[QUOTE="Anabstercorian, post: 121004, member: 2550"] [b]Cool! Thanks. ^_^[/b] I recommend everyone read over Forsaken One's post on Illithid culture. It is, after all, common knowledge - Anabstercorian is a published author on the history of the Illithid. Here are my comments on more specific portions of this information: BRIEF HISTORY The true origin of the Illithid was secret, but with the publishing of my history it is no longer. We are an evolved form of a psionic parasite (similar to but also distinct from Puppeteers) that originally traveled to your metaversal space from the non-space that you have called the Far Realm. After we were summoned to fall from the sky like rain and used as a biological weapon by one species against another in a war to rival any of those that have wracked Toril in the last decades, we turned against our summoners and crushed them. The species we were originally sent against no longer exists, and we were in tadpole form when we devoured them, so nothing is known of them. Those who summoned us are known to you today as the Githyanki and Githzerai. This information is really public knowledge - It's in my book. ILSENSINE All of the information here is true - I suppose my domains are Mentalism and Tyranny, then, not Psionics and Domination. But no biggie. I suppose I should pick up a good magical whip. CITIES OF THE ILLITHIDS All of this is secret to factions who have no Illithid in them. HIERARCHY [u][b]Edena, this may be a point of contention with other Mind Flayers on Oerth. I have completely escaped normal Illithid hierachy, and this sort of this is very important to Illithid. This may cause other Oerthian Illithid to react negatively, as I am a bit of a vagabond.[/b][/u] RECRUITING All of this is secret to factions who have no Illithid in them. ALLIES Illithid have no known allies, but in these trying times that could, conceivably, change. Of course, it would be an immense effort for creatures as lofty as the Illithid to suppress their arrogance, but we're Illithid. You think we're not strong-willed enough to do that? ENEMIES You'll ALL screwed. Some of you are just more screwed than others. And not necessarily by me. OR even by my allies. Wow. Zen. More specifically, those of you who have strong Drow or underdark aspects of your Faction would likely bear a strong grudge against the Illithid. [/QUOTE]
