![]() ![]() An inquisitor caste to hunt down people whom she wanted gone also existed. These were done to gradually prepare for her ascension and encourage the githyanki to worship her as a deity. She also sent loyal lieutenants to quell any unrest that might arise. She came up with an idea to become a deity and started to install a priest caste in githyanki society. Īfter centuries of undeath, she grew mad. Her undying reign and her success at getting rid of those who could challenge her were why she managed to retain her throne for longer than any other Vlaakith. Vlaakith CLVII stood out among the Vlaakiths for becoming a lich. All subsequent queens of the githyanki were named after her. The original holder, Vlaakith I helped seal the pact between the red dragons and the githyanki. Vlaakith was the name of many rulers of the githyanki race after the disappearance of Gith, the rebel leader that united them against the illithids. These red dragons feared her so much that they would continue to serve her even if the scepter of Ephelomon would be destroyed. Vlaakith CLVII had a number of red dragons under her service. However, Vlaakith CLVII delegated this duty of hers to lesser generals. ![]() One of the queen's jobs was to decide whether every visitor to Tu'narath should be granted a visa or not. The basis of the Vlaakith line's claim on power was a supposed blood relationship with Gith. Her home, Castle Susurrus, was located in the Queen's District of the githyanki capital city, Tu'narath, which was built on the corpse of a deceased power known only as " The One in the Void". The last queen of the githyanki, Vlaakith CLVII, died after ascending the throne without giving birth to an heir, but returned as a lich, thus remaining the ruler of the githyanki for over a thousand years. Two artifacts, which she always carried with herself, were the crown of corruption and the scepter of Ephelomon. Among them were +8 bracers of armor, a +6 cloak of charisma, a +5 dancing vorpal silver sword, a +6 headband of intellect, a +4 ring of protection, a ring of wizardry IV, a robe of eyes, and scrolls of prismatic sphere, protection from spells, shapechange, and time stop. Vlaakith CLVII owned a large number of powerful magic items. Similarly, it is currently unknown if she was able to create a new phylactery after its destruction during the Time of Troubles, as the originals presence Tu'narath was tied to the psionic power of her people and as of the Second Sundering Githyanki still have not recovered their ability to plane shift at will and only the most powerful have the capacity for innate telekinesis. She was weak against harm that came from light. Other spells she normally used included animate dead, contagion, detect thoughts, dimensional anchor, disguise self, disintegrate, dismissal, displacement, finger of death, foresight, gate, greater dispel magic, greater teleport, hold monster, lightning bolt, magic circle against good, magic jar, mirror image, slow, stoneskin, touch of idiocy, true seeing, wail of the banshee, wall of force, waves of exhaustion, waves of fatigue, web, wish, and other more common and practical spells. The former was normally used to enhance circle of death, enervation, horrid wilting, ray of enfeeblement, spell turning, time stop, and vampiric touch spells, while she used the latter to extend her dominate monster, eyebite, haste, heroism, and spectral hand spells. She also had some skill at metamagic, namely to enhance effectiveness and duration. Her ability to maintain spellcasting in adverse situations was tremendous as was her general spellcasting skill. Her spellcasting could exceed normal limits and was specifically tuned to punch through her targets' resistance against magic. She was also a powerful wizard who trained herself in the arts of necromancy and transmutation in particular. She had the abilities of a fully developed githyanki and most of the basic lich abilities. The Lich Queen was trained in the usage of a silver sword. Her skill at the last exceeded mortal levels. Like any other wizard, she could create magical scrolls, as well as rings and wondrous items. Vlaakith CLVII was very knowledgeable in arcane, historic, planar, and religious matters. ![]()
