Failing at something important right in front of a githyanki knight? Different story.

It was in the Guide to the Astral. Failure is a crime against the Queen.


It's on page 48 of GttA. It actually reads
Quote:
'Course, a githyanki loses his rights of individuality by either committing a crime or failing in an important task. In fact, such a failure is usually considered to be the greatest crime of all, for it is a crime against the queen herself. Such an outlook gives warriors even more reasons to fight to the death - defeat in an important battle usually means the dead-book for githwaniors anyway.
So, yes and no-- she didn't go around killing a githwarrior who failed at mending a boot or burned dinner. It wasn't even a necessary punishment for losing a minor skirmish. But yes, if a gith was entrusted with a responsibility of particular importance, then they'd better succeed.

Amusing image, though.

Yes, I did see her as quite insane in my games. You know how Darth Vader killed people left and right in ESB? Well, I took that in my games and made it much more random.

No one questioned the Lich Queen when she just pretty much randomly stole life energy from even loyal subjects for a fit of pique.
