Editing Gith (section)

===Eberron===
According to ''Player's Guide to Eberron'', the two types of Gith in [[Eberron]] were separately created by the Mind Flayers ~9000 years ago as slaves. They revolted when the Giants blew up one of Eberron's moons to stop the [[Daelkyr]], but could never get along with eachother. Gith herself is absent (or at least not mentioned) in this version.

Setting creator Keith Baker prefers a much cooler alternative: The Gith are refugees of a previous version of Eberron. It was invaded by the Daelkyr (who created most of Eberron's aberrations, including Mind Flayers), and they didn't have Gatekeepers around to save it. Gith herself led the refugees into the Astral Plane before the two split. The Astral Plane, being timeless, was unaffected when that version of Eberron was eventually destroyed and recreated - leaving the Gith 'orphans', and incredibly resentful of the occupants of the modern version of Eberron, because (a) the humans and such ''have'' a homeworld to live on, and don't realize how good they have it, and (b) the gith can't even invade, because they'll fall apart from being incompatible with the current edition of the Material Plane; they're stuck in the Astral and they can't have kids there, so they're doomed to die slowly.
