Vlaakith

In the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, Vlaakith was the name of the first ruler of the githyanki race after the death of Gith, the rebel leader that united them against the illithids. Vlaakith I was an advisor to Gith and helped seal the pact between red red dragons and the githyanki. All subsequent queens of the githyanki have been named after her. The last queen of the githyanki, Vlaakith CLVII, died after ascending the throne without giving birth to an heir, but returned as a lich, a type of undead, and has ruled the githyanki for over a thousand years. Vlaakith's home, the Castle Susurrus, is in the githyanki capital city, Tu'narath, which is built on the god-isle of a deceased power known only as "The One in the Void".

In a recent Dragon Magazine adventure, she was presented as a direct adversary who could be defeated and slain by adventurers. The adventure also revealed that she had been siphoning off the power of a dead god (now resembling rock) that Tu'narath was built on, which she accomplished, rules-wise, by killing Githyanki that had risen above character level 16, giving her enough experience points to cast a Wish spell and come a fraction closer to getting the dead god's power and becoming a deity. The adventure takes place just as Vlaakith is about to ascend to godhood, and if the players allow her to succeed the adventure describes the changes in the campaign world this would effect.
