Show Notes

This week Will and Omar cover the Lore of the Githyanki.

The githyanki plunder countless worlds from the decks of their astral vessels and the backs of red dragons. Feathers, beads, gems, and precious metals decorate their armor and weapons — the legendary silver swords with which they cut through their foes. Since winning their freedom from the mind flayers, the githyanki have become ruthless conquerors under the rulership of their dread lich-queen, Vlaakith.

Ghouls are among the most iconic corporeal undead. Haunting graveyards, battlefields, and crypts, they hunger for the flesh of living or recently dead creatures. Once human, ghouls are vicious killers driven mad by an unending gnawing hunger. They crave nothing more than to tear into and consume the warm flesh. It consumes their every thought and overrides even their sense of self-preservation. Still, even with their deranged and destroyed minds, ghouls have a terrible cunning which enables them to hunt their prey most effectively.

Of all the chaotic evil undead creatures that stalk the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, perhaps none is more dreadful than the vampire. Forever shunning the light of the sun, Vampires upon creation are awakened to an endless night. They lust for the life they lost and sate that hunger by drinking the blood of the living. Moving silently through the night, these pallid undead stalk their prey without mercy or compassion.

Deep beneath the surface world lies a realm of darkness, danger, and betrayal. Although many races claim it as their home, the sinister drow claim to be its rulers. With arrogance that few can manage, the drow lord over their slaves, scheming and plotting behind the backs of their kin. Despite their sense of superiority, the drow fear one thing: their dark goddess Lolth, Queen of Spiders.

The horrors the Abyss disgorges are without number, and no limit restricts the disquieting forms that its spawn, demons, can take. Easily the most disgusting master to claim dominion over the tainted host is the creature known as Juiblex, He Who Slithers, the Unnameable One, Glistener, Indescribable Darkness, and Slick of Foulest Humors.
