Two other subraces existed among the gith: They worked secretly within the two races discouraging violence against each other in the hopes of becoming able to call their people simply 'gith'. However, a splinter faction of renegade githyanki and githzerai known as the Sha'sal Khou sought to overcome the differences between the two races and bring them together as a single people. The intense hatred that divided the race was further exploited and amplified by the mind flayers themselves, who kept spies in both githyanki and githzerai communities tasked with stoking their ancient rivalries. Divided by generations of conflict and ideological differences, the two main sects of the gith people regarded each other with nothing but contempt, hate, and wariness. Typical hair colors included black, red, russet, and sometimes gray. Their skulls were long and angular, with deep-set eyes, flattened noses, and pointed, serrated ears. They had pale yellow skin, sometimes with greenish or brownish tones. Gith were tall and emaciated-looking humanoids.
