Editing Shra'kt'lor

'''Shra'kt'lor''' is the traditional capital city of the [[Githzerai]] in [[Limbo]], ruled over by their god-king [[Zaerith Menyar-Ag-Gith]]. Detailed in the Planes of Chaos boxed set for [[Planescape]], it consists of some 2 million active inhabitants and could support many more: it is intended to serve as the last refuse and final line of defense, should the githzerai's enemies ever invade Limbo and come after them.

As the book notes, such a "last stand" location is not so much a matter of necessity as it is an eloquent statement about the githzerai mindset.

In [[Planescape: Torment]], the githzerai Zerth named Dak'kon was originally a respected denizen of Shra'kt'lor, until the day his crisis of faith caused a fatal weakness in its psionically-stabilized walls and resulted in the city being devastated; another githzerai NPC in the game will clarify that this was a result of a sudden, massive attack by the [[githyanki]].

Whether or not Shra'kt'lor was destroyed by this assault is something that Planescape fans argue about. For what it's worth, it's mentioned in passing in the 3rd edition [[Manual of the Planes]] as still existing. In 4th edition, its place is taken by [[Zerthadlun]].
