thinking about her (Vlaakith II)

Who was sheeeee??

I’ve never been that wild about the existence of a “Vlaakith line” in DND canon. I just think it would go so much harder if current Vlaakith = OG Vlaakith warped beyond recognition by Aeons of Awful, and if they’re going to stick her on a near-timeless plane AND make her an immortal lich anyway… why not? Voss is still kicking around! But the line does exist in lore, so I am Thinking about it.

…I like the idea of Vlaakith I as the prototypical parthenogenetic gith more and more. I assume current githyanki parthenogenesis is magically mediated (which would explain why it doesn’t work like parthenogenesis in the real world), but maybe Vlaakith II’s conception wasn’t. Maybe she was an actual clone of her birth mother, and maybe every Vlaakith since her has been as well. It would definitely fit with that need to hold on to power.

#until Vlaakith CLVII goes “fuck that I’m not participating” and breaks the cycle #in the worst most horrific way possible but still - she did it!#(…maybe Vlaakith II was a New Mexico whiptail lizard-style baby with Gith)#(some lore sources do say the line claims “a supposed blood relationship” with her)#(I’m afraid I’m legally obligated to bring lesbian lizards up in every alien reproductive biology discussion)#vlaakith i #vlaakith ii #vlaakith
