Chapter 536 History
With many Gith people watching, Nohir explained in detail his relationship with Enver Gotash, Evil Thought, and Kesiri while retaining some details. Ke Somu, the grudges between the three chosen ones of the three gods of death.
He also roughly described that in the process of defeating them, he accidentally got news about the Astral Prism, and learned that they planned to use the Astral Prism and the Hammer of Orpheus as bargaining chips to fight against the upcoming Velakis, who came to attack the city, cooperated.
In order to foil their plot and protect the city as much as possible from the upcoming Githyanki army, Nohir chose to take the The Hammer entered the Astral Prism, coming to free Orpheus, the orthodox leader of the Gith people who had disappeared for thousands of years, in the hope of getting their help.
“It’s actually like this...”
Orpheus was silent for a moment, then continued.
“Ever since we were harmed by Vlaakis’s conspiracy and imprisoned in this star realm, we have lost all sources of external information, but that betrayal has made me understand Vlaakis’s nature, she is despicable and cruel, and she has a desire for power that penetrates her bones. The current Gith people may have spent tens of thousands of years in the lies spun by the betrayer, and they have been manipulated by her. Indifferent and cruel tea poison."
Orpheus's words were calm, and all the Gith people around him were also calm, but everyone could feel that there was something hidden under their calm lake. What a turbulent and angry wave, and Nohir just listened quietly, feeling their rising anger, without taking any additional actions. He knew that Orpheus had not finished speaking, and Orpheus had not finished speaking. At this time, he continued to speak.
“Nohir, I noticed your wording before. When you called us, the words you used were clear and normal for the Gith people, but for those who are about to invade your homeland, they are You call the other Gith who the Lich-Queen has deceived, but they are Githyanki."
"Why is this? I know that Vlaakith will definitely do this in order to maintain her rule. Fabricating some lies to deceive my compatriots, but changing our clan name... The seriousness of this matter cannot be described as simple betrayal. Has Vlaakis erased our history now? Have all the Gith people forgotten what this name carries? Does that poisonous woman really have the courage to do such a rebellious act? ”
Yes, when Orpheus and the others were imprisoned here, for ten thousand years, they must have been worried every day about what would happen to the Gith people after losing the Comet Prince. What has become of Vlaakis, the traitor and usurper.
But we are both Giths, and we both experienced the battle that overturned the great blueprint of the illithids and rescued all the people from the hands of GHAIK (brain-eating hybrids) thousands of years ago. People, they feel that no matter what Vlaakis does, he will never make the Gith people even more miserable than when they were slaves before, but if the lies Vlaakis tells will not even reach Gith, even this person If the existence of the one who led the Gith to freedom can be erased, then they have to worry about what the current Gith have been transformed into by Vlaakith.
If the current Gith people forget their past experiences, the history they once created, their hatred of the mind flayers, and their worship and existence of Gith, then in the future, they want The difficulty of defeating the traitor and usurper Vlaakis would probably be beyond their imagination. Nohir understands Orpheus's concerns. If that happens, then even if Orpheus does appear in the world again and shows his identity and power, they will not be able to defeat Vlaaki. It's terrible, but fortunately, Orpheus's worries are unnecessary. At least the current situation of the Githyanki society is not as bad as Orpheus imagined.
Vlaakis is very strong. This Lich Queen betrayed the Comet Prince thousands of years ago, and finally relied on lies, violence, and various means to finally become the Lich Queen. The co-lord of the Gith people, but her rule was not strong at that time.
At that time, the Gith people, under the leadership of their leader Gith, had just overthrown their former slave masters and destroyed the terrifying empire established by the illithid, causing them to lose their slaves, food, weapons of war, and tools. With their identity, they have become an independent race with dignity and thoughtfulness. All the Gith people understand that without Gith, their entire race will never have a future. It is because of this that they have a deep affection for Gith. Absolute, stubborn, even rigid loyalty.
After betraying Orpheus, Vlaakis fabricated a lie to make everyone think that the Comet Prince had disappeared into an unknown corner of the endless sea of stars. people’s future.
This lie was something that almost no Gith believed at the time, but the dire situation faced by the Gith at the time forced them to choose a leader, and Vlaakith relied on her lies to As well as powerful magic that was impressive in its own right, he successfully defeated another contender at the time, and that contender was now another branch of the Githyanki, the current leader of the Githzerai, the Githzerai. His Holiness, Zeis Menir Ag-Ghis.
But the reason why Vlaakis was able to defeat Zeis was not an aboveboard means. In that competition, Vlaakis took advantage of her previous strengths.
She cheated and used despicable means to defeat Zeis, and became the temporary leader elected by the Gith people at that time, but Zeis did not discover Valar immediately after that. Keith's trick, but it was impossible for his little tricks to leave no traces. In the end, Zeis finally discovered Velakis' trick.
The furious Zeis exposed Verakis' trick in public, but Verakis, who had been prepared for it, was not tripped up by this hasty accusation. However, after that, Zeis also saw clearly that Verakis Giese's face reminded him of the disappearance of Orpheus.
He realized that there might be a conspiracy in it, so he secretly summoned his men, hoping to find out the secrets hidden by Velakis, but Velakis's counterattack was faster. Immediately after the threat posed by Zeis, Vlaakis summoned her compatriots who had been deceived by lies and preemptively launched an attack on Zeis through slander.
