[[File:Githyanki Default Portrait.png|thumb|350px|right|Default Githyanki appearances]]

As the effects of time is diminished in their native Astral Plane, githyanki are instead hatched from eggs all across realmspace in places called crèches. Crèches act as hatcheries, training grounds, and shelters outside of the Astral Plane.

Githyanki are ruled by their lich queen [[Vlaakith]] and led in battle by her dragon-riding knights, the Kith'raki.
