Once [[Discover the Artefact's Secrets]] is complete, Kith'rak Voss will make a surprise visit when you fast travel or [[Long Rest]] outside of the Creche. He will speak directly to [[Lae'zel]], trying to reason with her about the truth of Vlaakith's tyranny after her own recent betrayal. Further, he will claim to be opposing Vlaakith's reign, and that the occupant within the Artefact is the key to her being overthrown. A critical choice must be made: | |||

A long time ago [[Orpheus]] knew that Vlaakith I had betrayed his mother, and he led Gith's Honor Guard in a revolt and named himself the rightful king of the [[Githyanki]], triggering the War of the Comet. At the head of the Honor Guard mounted on red dragons, Orpheus fought Vlaakith's knights in a battle in the Astral Plane, where he praised Gith and accused Vlaakith. Yet he was overcome and defeated by Kith'rak Voss on [[Qudenos]] and imprisoned within the [[Astral Prism]], so that Vlaakith I (and now [[Vlaakith|Vlaakith CLVII]]) | A long time ago [[Orpheus]] knew that Vlaakith I had betrayed his mother, and he led Gith's Honor Guard in a revolt and named himself the rightful king of the [[Githyanki]], triggering the War of the Comet.
